What’s inspiring me today:

Work is its own cure.  You have to

like it better than being loved.

- from For The Young Who Want To by Marge Piercy

Who I’m hanging out with today:

Prophet smirked.  “I’m what they label ‘not good with authority,’ Tommy.”

“Great.  And it’s Tom.”

“But you’re not an authority figure, so as long as you don’t act like a dick, we shouldn’t have a problem, right, Tommy?”

“Seriously – I’m going to kill you.  If I can’t hide the body well enough, it will still be so worth it going to jail,” Tom muttered as Prophet walked away.

“I heard that,” Prophet called over his shoulder.

“I meant you to.”

Dude, and they PAY me to sit home and have fun with these two…

here goes nothing

So, I’ve moved from blogspot.  Mainly, because my brain needed the procrastination, and honestly, for writers, I say procrastination’s a good thing and patience, not so much.  Patience is like the worst virtue ever.  Patience makes you put shit off you’ve wanted to do forever, because you’re all like, oh, the longer you wait for it, the better it will be.

Bullshit.  Sometimes you just gotta grab it by the tail and kick it in the ass (props to Supernatural for that one)

Ahem.  So yeah, that’s me – an impatient procrastinator who writes books.  And when I started my original blog, I swore it was just going to be news and stuff like that.  No opinions, because there’s no tolerance for personal opinions out there anymore.  I was going to stay quiet.  Be good.

*sighs* Fuck it.

Hello world!

Starting the new blog…more to follow.

Bound For Keeps

Thanks for all the great emails / tweets / FB posts I've gotten for Bound By Danger!  I've had Tomcat's story in mind for so long, but I knew it had to come in a certain order...it was hell waiting but worth it in the end.

Bound For Keeps is the next installment in the Men of Honor series - it releases February 2013 and I should have a cover soon to share.

I'm also starting a new series, and I hope to bring you at least one book toward the end of this year, if not two.  I'll give you more details as soon as I can on that.  I'm still pondering titles and series names, but I will tell you it follows the same guys through at least three books.

For now, I'd love it if you went to my Facebook page and let me know how you feel about covers - it will really help me with my new series.

Military week!

Awesome author Melissa Schroeder's hosting military week on her blog - lots of posts, lots of great prizes each day and one big prize at the end!  My post is up today, so go comment for a chance to win some books :)

Forgot I'm not allowed to post the contest directly on Facebook but here's the deal - come Like SE Jakes on Facebook and for every 25 followers, I'll give away a print copy of Bound By Honor.  I'll do this until we get to 100.

When we get to 50 followers, I'll give them an exclusive long excerpt from Tomcat's book :)

And then, when you fall in love with Damon and Tanner, there's no waiting for book 2, Bound By Law, and the novella, Ties That Bind :)  And Tomcat's story coming in June!  I'm just finishing up some revisions on Tomcat and Jace (aka Bound By Danger) and I'm really loving the story.  To me it's got a bit of a BBH vibe.

Bound By Honor- A CAPA Nominee!!!
