Dirty New Year + My To-Do list!
2016 was an interesting year.
But then, so is every year. It felt like too many of our musical and silver screen legends passed on—#RIP to George, Carrie, Debbie, Prince, David and all those I’ve missed—but any loss is something we always take to heart. 2016 sucked and rocked in equal parts. That’s the beauty of 365 days. Every morning we have the chance to wake up to a fresh start.
I was predictable this year. I took the chance to take that fresh start on New Year’s Day. I didn’t make any resolutions, per se. But I did set myself some goals.
As part of Loose Id’s author loop, I found myself amid a bunch of writers who were determined to organize themselves. I’ve never been renowned for my organizational talents—don’t ask my mum, please God!! However, among such motivated peeps, I found myself shifting gear and being determined to start the new year in the right frame of mind.
I spent the latter half of 2016 dealing with personal issues, family health problems, and a myriad other matters that sapped at my energy, blocked my fingers from doing much tapping on the keyboard, and had me avoiding social networks like the plague.
That meant my last release, The Strength Of Love, came onto the scene with relatively little pizazz. I’m mad at myself about this, but if the heart and soul isn’t in it, then that’s how it goes. I’m not excusing myself because I let a lot of people down; I just couldn’t get motivated to do much where my books were concerned.
So, here’s my public pledge to myself. This way I can be held accountable!
1. Write 14000 words minimum a week, preferably split up into daily 2000 word chunks. This is for my work. Freelance writing will have to be an extra 10-20000.
2. Maintain my newfound daily yoga habit. By the end of the year, achieve a perfect headstand, handstand, the crane, and best of all, a dragonfly.
3. Run 5-10 miles a week.
4. Be more sociable, connect with my readers more. Let them into my crazy, whacky but relatively boring life >.
5. Release a minimum of 8 books this year.
6. Write a weekly blog post and newsletter.
7. Start writing reviews and reading more books!
What are your goals?
Fall in love in the city of love!

After her son is killed in a hit-and-run, Kate Varsain hits rock
bottom. Using her grief against her, Kate’s violent ex demands they
get back together. She refuses, and, concerned, asks a close friend’s
lawyer for advice, not realizing that Louis Rozen will become her
guiding light in this bleak, new world.
Only, Louis isn’t single. His on-again, off-again lover, Ade Lancaster
is in town and he’s looking to make their casual relationship
permanent. But vulnerable Kate appeals to Louis in ways he never

cutting Ade from his life.
With her ex’s escalating behavior, Ade, a soldier, slips into the role
of protector. The sudden attraction between the pair astonishes them
all, as does Kate’s desire for both men. Yet the focus on the
blossoming relationship between the trio leaves them wide open for
attack.
Can Kate’s men protect her? Or, with their love and support, will she
realize she’s capable of protecting herself?

When Lyssa discovers her fiancé’s idea of à la carte dining is
munching on Dima Vasin, his bodyguard, she’s more pissed off at the
fact she has to share him than the life-altering discovery Vampyres
and Lykaens truly exist. Niko and Dima have been seeking their mate
ever since the war between their races came to an end two centuries
ago. Now Lyssa’s in their arms, all they’re focused on is making her
accept her role in their lives, and the honeymoon in Maui. But Fate
has other plans.
The Fomor, an evil race of Celts, are at war with mankind. A war no
one but the Gods, the Sidhe, and the malevolent creatures are even
aware of! Banished to the depths of the oceans, the Fomor have sought
their freedom for millennia. With every escapee from their icy prison,
humanity is tarnished a little more, the evil in man’s nature
exploited for the worse.
The sins of mankind and the destruction of the planet fall on the
Fomor’s shoulders, and it’s up to the Gods’ foot soldiers, the Lykaens
and Vampyres, to save Earth and its residents before crisis strikes.
But the clock is ticking, and for Lyssa, Dima, and Niko, it might just
be too little, too late…

I hate smoking. Seriously, anti-smoking lol. I mean live and let live, each to their own. But on crushes, no.
And yet, I might have been converted!
