WIPs and Chains


http://www.lancethomsonphotographic.com/ The photo this week doesn't have anything to do with either whips or WIPs but it's a nice tree in my neighborhood, and today was a beautiful fall day.

This past week I have done some writing but I'm back to bouncing around from one project to another. I need to FOCUS, MAN!

I got a Great Idea for a new story and was anxious to start it, so I did that. Meanwhile I got a few more reviews for Power Struggle (great reviews - yay!) and it seems everyone wh...

New contract!

I got my signed sealed and delivered-to-my-inbox contract yesterday for my next Ellora's Cave release - Taming Tara.

This book is a modern-day BDSM version of The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. I will be blogging more about how the similarities between the two and how Will inspired me to write this story, so watch for that closer to release date (which I don't yet know but stay tuned!)

Although this story is also set in Santa Barbara and the fictional Le Chateau features in it, I a...

What I`m Reading Wednesday

This week I finished Sweet Temptation by Maya Banks. First of all - my heavens this book has a lot of typos. That is so unfortunate. This story was as hot as Maya`s usually are, but I have to say the scene with the four men just went a little over the top for me. Now I`ve written BDSM stories and I know that it can make sense for a man to give a woman what she wants but this just seemed a little incredible. But then again it`s a fantasy, right? I've read this exact trope before though, how a ...

WIPs and Chains

If you read Friday's post you'll already know I did not have a productive week writing last week. I was completely distracted by other stuff. The week ended on a positive note, thankfully, but it's been hard to get back into the writing.
Right now I'm also doing an on-line workshop through Writer U which is excellent. I've been doing my homework for the course, part of which is analyzing my own WIP. I've actually been analyzing several of my WIPs, including one which is completed (but I still ...

I've had better weeks

This week I got very disturbing bad news (writing related) that has thrown me off my writing. Also got a royalty statement with disappointing sales of my June release Lost and Found. My husband has been so busy this week I haven't even been able to talk to him about all this and now he's gone golfing for the weekend.

Thankfully I belong to the BEST GROUP IN THE WORLD, the Nine Naughty Novelists - their support ...

What I'm Reading Wednesday

I finished Corralled by Lorelei James. I really enjoyed it. I know what I'm getting when I read one of her books. I liked how this one kept me wondering how the book was going to end, because though it was a menage story it wasn't clear from the start who the "couple" was. I did guess right and I was happy!

Right now I'm reading Sweet Temptation by Maya Banks. This is one of the ones that fianlly became available at the Sony Store. This is Micah's story, who has been in Maya's earlier "Sweet" ...

WIPs and Chains

I've been working on my historical story this past week. I hesitate to say too much about it because I'm still not sure if I can do this. I'm still in love with the idea of the story and the characters are starting to really grow on me too. I find it slow going, though, because there are still so many details that I need to research. I find myself wishing for an expert in this time period to be standing beside me with all the answers to my questions. Don't think it's going to be that easy tho...

More reviews!

What a week! I got 2 more reviews for Power Struggle:

What I'm Reading Wednesday

I finished Shadowheart by Laura Kinsale. This story just grabbed me and pulled me along, I loved it. So emotionally intense. What a hero. What a heroine. It impresses me that her characters are always so different thought her heroes do often seem to be quite tortured.

I'm now reading Corralled by Lorelei James. I've read all her Samhain books and now this one! It's just as hot as her Rough Riders books, too.

I have quite a lengthy list of books to read now thanks to the Sony store suddenly mak...
