The 2016 That Was, and a Look Ahead
2016 has been filled with great highs and devastating lows. I quit my job to write full time, released five books, and then saw the passing of someone very close to my heart.
Life is funny that way, I think. We can be euphoric one moment, and then hurting the next.
But I have been so, so grateful to all my readers who have supported my work this past year. I took some really big chances with my writing, wanting to stretch my wings and push myself into getting better at my craft. I learned a lot about what I'm capable of this year, and you all who have followed me with my manic releases--comedy, then crazy ass dark shit, then werewolves, more dark shit, and then a historical (=D) romance that I am shocked people embraced.
So thank you for making my 2016 so memorable. You guys truly are the best.
I release five books in 2017. Until You, Olive Juice, Lightning 2 and 3, and BOATK4.
5 maddening teasers about these books:
--Two of the stories have weddings. One you will expect since that's what Until You is about. The other? You won't see coming.
--The phrase, "Just how far do you think you can stick your tongue up there?" is used, but not by who you might think.
--A certain couple breaks up.
--Two words: double penetration.
--A known character dies.
I'll see you in 2017!

I'm not so sure I like these teasers.... Any way you can release them earlier - say next week, to end the torture for your poor readers? :o
You can't just leave us hanging with death and break-ups!
Oh, TJ. How you do love to torture your fans. Sigh. I guess it's part of your charm. =p
Dans toutes tes révélations c'est celle-ci qui m'inquiète le plus "A certain couple breaks up."NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate and love you at the same time for this. Although, admittedly, I'm foaming at the mouth for drama between Sam and Ryan and the other supposed "cornerstone."
Oh how we will scour all five books until we find the answers! I just hope we won't see the double penetration during the #pince wedding!
O.M.G: a break up? Death?Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....... Why? Why?
What a sadistic you are!!!! But I love you anyway :-P
As I sit in my favorite comfy chair sipping on a hot cup of tea while reading one of your incredible books, I send you lots of love, hugs, and admiration.. Wishing you a year filled with success and tight familial love...Hugs, Laura :)
Not happy about a break up or death either but I TRUST you.
There is so much to look forward to! Thank you!You're certainly right about your teasers - they are maddening!
Unexpected weddings are always ok. :)
The phrase, "Just how far do you think you can stick your tongue up there?" LOL. I bet, it is also NOT in the situation some of us might picture.
A couple breaking up - that worries the hell out of me. But maybe it is not one of the 'main' couples? Not sure I could take that, tbh. (view spoiler) And of course, even if a couple breaks up, they could get together again????
Double penetration - again, you make me chuckle. Do you really mean that in that way? If yes - ok. If no, ok. I can't wait to find out. *g*
a character death - now this is the hardest teaser of all - surely, you would not do anything really horribly drastic to us, would you? There are LOTS of characters in your books, lots and lots, ..... (just not any of the main ones?... Please?)
Wishing you the very best and every success for 2017!
"5 maddening teasers about these books:"oh, you evil, evil author
It's the parrot, right? The parrot dies? He's a character. For any of the others, I may need to hunt you down... kidding... sort of... maybe. >.<
Do you ever do book signings at stores or events?
WHAT????? I'm not okay with this. I will not panic before 2017 gets here.
