WIPs and Chains

I've had a great week! In some ways it doesn't feel like I've accomplished a whole lot, but in others, it does!

I did get some writing done on a couple of WIPs. I started on my historical and wrote 4000 words, then realized I had started at the wrong place. Did a bit more research and thought out my new opening. Haven't written it yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Also did some work on a finished story that needed some revisions. I've changed the characters, planned out a different ending and a few other th...

Reviews for Power Struggle

A few weeks ago I posted a couple of reviews for Power Struggle. Since then I got this lovely review from reviewer Jolene at Night Owl Reviews, who made it a NOR TOP PICK!
"Power Struggle by Kelly Jamieson was my first time reading the BDSM genre of books. I really enjoyed taking a walk on the wild side and being a voyeur into a lifestyle that I know nothing about. Power Struggle was a well-written story of Dev, a young (hot!) doctor and Tori, the Vice President of her company.Power Struggle w...

Cook naked!

Today I'm at Passionate Reads and I'm cooking naked! I'm in the kitchen whipping up a dark, seductive treat with chef Bond from Nara Malone's Dungeon Gourmet.  He got me all hot and flustered in the kitchen! Come see what we're making!

What I'm Reading Wednesday

Last time I posted I was debating between Erin McCarthy's Hot Finish and Kristan Higgins' Too Good to be True. Well, I read them both, and loved them both. Erin's one of my favourite authors and I really loved this story. Suz and Ryder have a lot of chemistry and it was great to read their HEA.

I wasn't sure about Too Good to be True. It's written in first person point of view, which I tend not to like, mainly because in a romance I love getting inside the hero's head and knowing how hot he is...

WIPs and Chains

Well, trying now to get back on blogging track, let's see what I've been working on for the last two weeks!

I last mentioned some doubts about what to work on next and that I was giving some thought to various projects I have started. And in this case, thinking was good! I read a couple of good books, thought a lot about my projects, and had a little epiphany!  I knew exactly what I needed to do to fix up some of the manuscripts my agent had said were too short. So I went back to Crush, the on...

What happened to Kelly?

I realized today that it has been one full week since I blogged. And what would the reason for that be, you ask? Did I become deathly ill? Suffer a severe injury, perhaps with head trauma? A death in the family? My dog ran away?

No. I forgot.

Don't ask how. I think it might be old age but I don't want to go there.

I was out of town on Monday with no internet access, but that's no excuse because I can schedule posts ahead of time. Then I was mixed up this week because of having a day off on Mond...

What I'm Reading Wednesday

Well Erin McCarthy won out over Kristan Higgins, sorry Kristan. Right now I'm reading Hot Finish. Not going to spoil anything for anyone else yet to read it, but I totally see what's coming. I'll let you know next week if I'm right. :-) I find it interesting that the story lacks a big conflict - yet it is still enjoyable. Erin's writing is amusing.

I also picked up a few non-fiction books from the library but I can't really say I'm "reading" them since they're mostly pictures :-) English Women...

I may or may not have cried a little

In the midst of all the doubts and uncertainties and rejections, nothing picks up an author faster than a couple of good reviews! My latest release Power Struggle came out August 6 and it's already had two awesome reviews!

Lea at The Blackravens Reviews gave Power Struggle 5 Ravens: "Kelly Jamieson's new book, Power Struggle, is fabulous. It is an exciting and sensuous love story as well as a remarkable narrative about the importance of being honest with yourself about what you want and need i...

WIPs and Chains

Once again, my progress has ground to a screeching halt. There are a couple of reasons. I got the galley to proofread for my upcoming print release of Love 2 Love U. This is a print anthology Samhain Publishing is putting out of my three stories, Love Me, Love Me More and 2 Hot 2 Handle. Last chance to review and make sure there are no typos. I also have to work on a marketing plan for it. Yikes.

But the biggest reason was that I got lost in the publishing business, yet again. I've had some co...

Book chat!

Hey everyone! Today I'm doing something new and hopefully fun! If you read my book Lost and Found and would like to chat about it, come on by my Facebook page today. (If you haven't read it:  Spoiler alert!) I'm going to throw out some discussion questions and you can ask me questions about the book, too.

Here's the blurb of the story:
To find happiness, first you have to find yourself.

Krissa has always been the responsible one. Driven to fulfill her mother's abandoned dreams, to make her hus...
