RWA: THE END CHALLENGE
I have either done something insane or smart. I’m a member of RWA [Romance Writers of America]. That’s the smart thing. They’re doing a writing challenge called THE END. The premise is to write at least 2000 words per month.
I jumped at the opportunity to participate, because I have a few projects I want to complete…the second books in both of my series. I may have gotten ahead of myself.
I don’t think I’ve shared this, but there is a sequel to Generational Curse. Funny thing is people keep asking me if there’s a sequel and if Kyla will be in it. I didn’t want to answer too soon, but the answer to both questions is “yes.” I have the first six chapters written and all I’ll say is WOW!!! Wait ’til you meet Kyla’s baby sister. That’s all the teaser I’ll give.
The other book is the second in The Alex Chronicles series. No, that’s not a typo. I’m proofing the first book and it should be out very soon. I learned with my first book not to promise a release date until the final proof has been approved.
Here’s the insane part. I’m working on all of these books at the same time. Talk about a party in my head. I’m juggling very diverse characters and themes.
The smart part of this…signing up for the challenge. Since I’ve signed up for the challenge, I’ve added over 4000 words to Alex Book Two and I’m half way complete on the Alex Book One proof. If I stay on track, I could have both books released within weeks of each other and the Generational Curse sequel out by Fall…maybe.
Why the delay? I’m part of a box set coming out early Summer. Good news, I already wrote it. Even better news, it’s the first in a really cool series. It’s too soon to share the title, but I think you’ll like the characters. I’ll post more details as it gets closer to release day.
Back to work.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To A Rewrite
Today I am guess blogging at the OCCRWA “A Slice Of Orange” Blog about the road to my next book.
Like most writers once you finish one book, it’s on to the next one. In this post I share some of the things I’ve encountered on the road to releasing my next book THE ALEX CHRONICLES. This book is the first in a the series. It follows a group of girlfriends as they meander their way through love, friendship and secrets. It asks the question, “Do you really know everything about your best friend?”

New Blog Home
Happy New Year!
A new year and a new blog home.
Due to an oops!, I have a new blog home. Turns out I had a WordPress home, but never used it. I think I was a little intimidated, so I went elsewhere. I’m so glad the glitch occurred, because it forced me to do something I should have done a long time ago. I like the change and this is a good one.
Effective immediately, I am now posting at www.readtracyreed.wordpress.com. Like any other new gadget, there’s a learning curve. Please be patient as I get a handle on this new site.
Let me know what you think about the new blogging home.
