I'm back from my Las Vegas adventure and seeing Elton John. Great show!

As I stated before, I was interviewed for a new feature that USA Today is featuring online as well as Devotedly His has been reviewed by them.

Here is the new romance blog for USA Today: Happy Ever After- USA Today

My interview and the review should be up some time this week (I've been told) so I will link to it when it appears.

I'll be continuing my two wips now and later this month More Than Anything will be released and there will be a contest for it on Stumbling Over Chaos.

Updates - See You Soon

I'm off to Las Vegas Wednesday to see Elton John's Million Dollar Piano Show at Ceasar's Palace. Won't be back until Saturday night. I'm pretty excited as I've never see Elton John before.

I'm working on a couple of projects, Etermally His , and something else I'm not very far on so I won't talk about it yet.

Later this month, at the end of the month, More Than Anything , my Hot College Daze story will be released (there will be a related story, More Than Enough released in late November). There will be a giveaway for More Than Anything hosted by Chris and her Stumbling Over Chaos site. I'll let you know as that time gets closer. So that's about it for me. Here's a pretty picture until I am back to report more.

Devotedly His - New Release

For years, Spencer Lyons has been a devoted best friend to Max Ramirez, helping him through break up after break up. And also for years, Spencer has never let Max know his true feelings—he's been in love with his best friend.

It doesn't occur to Max that club-hopping Spencer has deeper feelings for him. Yet when he finally learns of Spencer's love, Max begins to wonder...should he admit to the love he also feels toward Spencer and risk losing his friend if the relationship ends in yet another break up? And whether or not he voices his feelings, will Spencer always be devotedly his?

Still time to enter to win Devotedly His , which releases October 02, 2011. Only two more releases for me in 2011 after this story is released. Contest ends September 30, 2011

The End of Summer, Update, and Contest

I know in many parts of the country it's no longer summer hot, but here in Los Angeles we are still experiencing heat, hopefully not for too much longer.
My plan is to have Eternally His done by the end of November. I'm not rushing myself so yeah all the way until the end of November at least. If it's done before then, splendid. 
And speaking of "His", on October 02, my last "His" book for 2011 will be released (the last two releases for me are the More novellas). If you'd like to win a free copy of Devotedly His , comment here. Contest starts now and runs until September 30. This one's a little longer than the last one (though not as long as the two More novella).  

Interesting News and More on Eternally His

Recently I was contacted by someone from USA Today asking if I'd be interested in having them review an Advanced Reader Copy of Devotedly His and also being interviewed. Apparently they are working on something new there though I don't have all the details yet.


So off the ARC went for the review and now I wait for the interview questions. I'll advise if/as I get more details. Pretty cool, I thought.


I've managed to get 4,000 words done on Eternally His so that's a step in the right direction. I'm combining two ideas with this story. My friend, Shayne, had asked me to write a rock star story (with a sort of Adam Lambert type) so that's one of my vampire heroes. This story is not a warm fuzzy story though or it won't be. Fair warning for the future when it's released sometime in 2012.

What's Up

I'm working on my first vampire story, Eternally His, and it's going slowly. Fine, but slow. I guess I'm in a little bit of a writing funk, honestly. But if he doesn't inspire me what does?

Candy and Plans

Can't Be His was released yesterday. This is my last really short story, an Amber Kiss, (other than a free Christmas story coming on ARe later). Devotedly His is considered an "Extended Amber Kiss" and the two More Than books are novellas.

I'm currently sort of working on Eternally His , the next His story which is also a vampire story. I'm not really working hard on it though. Once that is done I will probably be working full steam on Leo's story as the 4th Sutter's Bay story(no title yet) and may work on Tempted to Taste , which might or might not be Sutter's Bay 5 or could be a standalone  unrelated to anything else story.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend and here is some candy to get you through the rest of it.
