Progress and decisions
Good news - Amazon apparently got enough "lower price elsewhere" clicks to discount And to All a Good Night to free. So now it's available for download from them at no charge as well. The Aliveness Project will get over $50 out of the deal and no more buyer's regret for those who see it free elsewhere. So that worked!
A generous on-line friend has also posted my short story Like the Taste of Summer on All Romance Ebooks as a free download. So if anyone prefers to get it that way rather than read it on my website, it is now available. Thank-you Sara Winters!
I've just had another short story accepted at MLR for one of their Christmas anthologies. I'm also in the process of contracting with Samhain Publishing for a stand-alone mystery/romance. My next release will probably an MLR short titled "Full Circle". It's not a HEA-type romance story, but there is love and romance and an ending that is quietly happy and I hope readers will like it even if it's not a classic romance story arc. Kudos to MLR for taking on this one and not demanding that I tack on a traditional ending. I hope to see it released within the month.
Right now my biggest tear-my-hair-out thing is trying to come up with titles. I need a title for the stand-alone book, and a series title for my werewolves. The first werewolf book, Unacceptable Risk, is at the point where I'm putting in the cover art request to MLR. But I have to have all the info first. Odd how much easier it is to write an entire novel than to come up with two or three apt words. I've been searching Goodreads and Amazon to make sure I don't use someone else's M/M title if I can avoid it, and trying the possibilities out on folks willing to listen. (Although if my husband makes one more bad pun, he's gonna be out of the loop.) Today I'll make a decision. Probably.
So good things are happening. And I'll gladly do battle with the search for apt titles in exchange for having an audience for my work. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Yep, second round of edits on the first book are in progress so I'm figuring it should be out maybe late October, depending on my editor's workload. The next three are waiting their turn.Still hunting for series titles; I've considered "More than Human", "Pack Risks", "Risking the Pack", "Unhuman"...my daughter suggested "Woofers" (and she was only half joking.) Aaargh.
I love this genre. Can't figure out why other than we love dogs. Oh and I like the mating for life and the possessive traits of weres. Plus the hot sex and no need for condoms. After every really angsty book I have to find one to read. Some are a whole lot better than others.My absolute favorite story is Nut Cream by Jade Buchanan. But I also love the "With" series by J L Langly. Plus a few that aren't real series. There are a few that are menage but I just cant get into that. Never had been able to in my pre Tim days and definitely not now. Even watching porn we tend to not get off on the 3 ways yet do ok with the orgys, but we really love when they look like they care/love each other.
Looking forward to October!
