Ryder and Dee - Driving Me Mad!
OMG, this couple are killing me! I kid you not!
Why? you may ask. Well, it’s pretty obvious there is history of some kind between them. It's pretty obvious dumb ar - I mean Ryder is pretty clueless. It's also pretty obvious that Dee isn't. So it should be an easy write. Right? WRONG!
This is a couple who know each other since they were both, as Dee put it, crapping their nappies and fighting in the sand box. This is no couple new to each other, where they have so much to discover about each other, new impressions, everything.
NO! NO THEY'RE NOT!
I am currently doing something like this - write three pages, delete two, write three pages, delete one, write three pages, leave teeth marks in my desk, write two pages, bang my forehead on the desk, write four pages and delete three. And swear. A lot.
OMG! How can two characters give me such a headache? Holy moley, Batman, I'm going nuts! This is it; they have officially driven me nuts! I'm halfway up the wall because of them!
Is it homicide to delete two characters completely?????

Book's Coming Along - almost done!
So I can't believe I'm nearing the end of the story and Ryder is still breathing. Not to mention Dee. Geez, I never realized what a complete dick Ryder is, but you know, he's kind of - no, he's NOT sweet, but he does have a good side. I think. Maybe. Possibly not...
Dee is...well...she's...she's still a ball buster. But she has a soft side, and that kind of helps, except she won't take crap from people and can even be a little...um...harsh? Sweet, no. Soft side...a little. Okay, possibly not...
Oh bummer, maybe I need to do a re-write already!!!! Now I'm second-guessing this couple. THEY ARE KILLING ME!!!!
On the plus side, a little something from Simon has been briefly revealed that I never planned...didn't actually even know myself until it came out in one sentence and I'm thinking - whoa. Really? So that should prove interesting.
As for the furries...well...heh heh...
So I hope to finish it tonight, then do a re-read for plot holes, then format and edit, then another read, and it's all looking good for an early Feb release!!! Unless Ryder and Dee twist me so much in the re-read that I end up having to re-write part of the book.
OMG, I don't even want to think about it...

Lie to Me - blurb, excerpt & Cover!
Okay, I just uploaded the cover, blurb and an excerpt of Lie to Me, which is Ryder and Dee's story, on my website. Hope you like it!
I've set the official release date as 1st Feb 2015. It'll be available for pre-order soon.
I'm also looking into doing a giveaway, but I have to wait until the print version comes back to me so I can do a proof read and then submit for the final version, THEN I'll do a giveaway!'
It never ends LOL.
Now, to be a huge tease, I've already done Simon's cover, but it's not being revealed until his book goes on pre-order, which means I can drool over it in secret for awhile longer *heh*heh*
The man is hot!
