Happy Thanksgiving And Progress

I'm still working on finishing up Eternally His and Finally His . It's going fine but I am not sure I will have them both done by Thanksgiving. I'm still trying by the end of Thanksgiving weekend though. End of November at the latest. I know I can manage that. I'll still give myself December off writing wise.

There's still time to enter the contest for More Than Enough.

Since this will be my last post until after Thanksgiving, I wish everyone in the United States who celebrates it a great Thanksgiving.

More Than Enough Contest

I didn't realize the contest for More Than Enough had gone live on Stumbling Over Chaos. My Bad! Sorry, so if you want the chance to win it, go there!

BTW, that is not the "official" blurb, so it might change slightly.

Plans

I should probably post something but, well, I just don't have much to say. I'm just working. I'm trying to get two books done by Thanksgiving (I have all of Thanksgiving week off from the EDJ), because I am trying, really, honest, I am, to take the rest of the year off from writing. Can I refrain from writing for the entire month of December? I sure want to. I'd love to catch up on some reading, including the many holiday stories releasing. And having these books finished and ready for my first two 2012 releases would be extremly helfpul.

Once January comes and I have returned to writing, I will probably work on Sutter's Bay 4, Leo's story. That's my plan anyway. But first I have to finish Eternally His and Finally His .  

A Few Updates

I chose this picture because in one of my current WIPs one of the cuties wears scarves. He doesn't quite look like Jay in Finally His , but he'll do for the blog purposes.

Just an update to say I am working on both Eternally His and Finally His and I hope to have them done this month. We'll see.

More Than Enough comes out at the end of this month and there will be another giveaway hosted by Stumbling Over Chaos.

In addition, I will have a free Christmas story available at All Romance Ebooks also at the end of the month.

That's it for now.

USA Today Review and Interview

I was thrilled when a few weeks ago, I was contacted by Joyce Lamb at USA Today about an interview and review for a new romance blog they were creating.

The review is up for Devotedly His at USA Today's new romance blog. As you will see, the reviewer liked it. Devotedly His Review

Just a Few Writing Updates

I've been writing away on a couple of stories planned for 2012.

I'm roughly half done with Eternally His and have a good start on Finally His (an idea/plot requested of me). If all goes well, I should have them finished and off to Amber Quill by the end of the year for scheduling.

Then, I will be either working on Tempted to Taste (possibly for submission to a new publisher) or Leo's story, the fourth Sutter's Bay story. I don't expect to get to those until early next year, though.

My interview/review for USA Today's new romance blog should be appearing any day so I will post the link when it does. I know I'm on the schedule.
