Newsletter is released, in the wind
The first “Jen Frederick” newsletter has been sent. It has a scene of the boys at The Woodlands tipping over a car and Noah’s sad kiss off to Grace via letter. Why, Noah, why????

Have you pre-ordered Mine by Katy Evans yet?
One of the great things about being an author is being friends with other authors and, more importantly, getting to read their books early. I had the good fortune to read Mine this weekend and if you loved REAL by Katy Evans, MINE is going to rock your world. For real. Get your “One click” button finger ready for this one.

Reward
I’ve hit the halfway mark but stalled so in order to perk myself up I went out and bought myself a reward. Big spender, aren’t I?
Don’t forget to sign up for the newsletter (link is in the sidebar). In the newsletter is Noah’s Dear Jane letter to Grace and a short outtake featuring the guys at The Woodlands.

This huge stack of paper is Unspoken
Don’t be alarmed but that is Unspoken. It is about 85000 words right now. Words I’m going to be revising based on feedback.

Newsletter, Finally
I know that every professional author has a newsletter but I didn’t have much to share that would justify having a newsletter. However, lots of my author friends informed me that newsletters were the perfect place to share snippets, deleted scenes and outtakes. I’ve got a lot of those like the “Dear Jane” letter Noah sent to Grace and a few letters that Grace sent to Noah.
I gather these might be of interest to you? If so, go ahead and sign up for my newsletter. It will be sent probably once a month with the first newsletter to be released on July 1. It will contain the “Dear Jane” letter and a new scene I wrote called “School Circle” inspired by a facebook conversation I had with a Marine.

Tentative Release Schedule
I’ve mocked up the tentative release schedule for the remainder of the Woodlands novels. It takes me about three months to write the basic bones of the book and then I have two months to push the book through the editing, rewriting, copyediting, and proofing stage.
January 16, 2014: Unmarked, Finn’s book
June 16, 2014: Unsung, Adam’s book
November 16, 2014: Undone, Mal’s book
I’ve got an interesting character that popped up at the end of Bo’s book and I might write his novel after Mal’s book. You’ll have to tell me, after you read Unspoken, whether you think this character deserves his own book. 
Bo’s book will be at the editor’s desk on Monday so we are closing in his release. The Rock Stars of Romance will have an exclusive teaser and photo collage on the 18th.

A Giveaway at A Love Affair With Books
If you haven’t already purchased your copy of “Undeclared”, stop by A Love Affair With Books. They are hosting a giveaway and a review of the book. Be careful, though, I went over there last night and ended up spending about twenty minutes reading about a bunch of other awesome books. They have cover releases of books that look steamy and emotional. Go give them some love.

The Heirarchy of Band
I came across this image the other day.
In the fourth book, yet to be named, Adam is one of the lead characters. Guess where he falls within the hierarchy of band members? (The last one is the bass player in case you are wondering).
