Announcing My Next Novel
I’m excited to announce that I hit a huge milestone with my current work-in-progress: I am officially halfway done with my upcoming contemporary romance novel, tentatively titled Searching for Your Song.
Intelligent but shy whale biologist, Lola Marin, must host a fundraiser to continue her research. When she is forced to team up with ex boyfriend and famous musician, Oscar Kelly, to plan the gala, she has no choice but to address their past so they can save not only the world’s whales, but also her career. But between Oscar’s conniving girlfriend and the secrets that he keeps, Lola isn’t sure if they can raise the funds she needs without their rekindled feelings getting in the way.
As you may gather from the teaser above, it is a second chance romance.
This book will also be much longer than my previous novels, compelling me to write a slower burn; no insta-love tropes here.
And the story is heavy. My hopes are that you will join me on this emotional rollercoaster and that you will love my characters, Lola and Oscar, as much as I do.
In terms of publishing, my plans for this novel are unknown. I would like to pursue traditional publishing again, but there is a temptation to do everything myself (again) if it means I don’t have to wait years to introduce this story to the world.
With that in mind, I suspect that it will be published late this year if I choose to publish, or in 2024 if all goes according to my master publishing plan.
What I would like to prioritize most of all is giving you a quality story with quality writing. So, this will take time - but I have a surplus of time for the foreseeable future.
Please interpret my radio silence as me just writing my ass off for the next month or two. More updates will follow after I hit the next milestone and finish writing this book.
That said, if you follow me on Goodreads, you may have noticed that I have been reading a lot of dark romance lately, and it has me wondering: how steamy do you like your romance novels? Should I spice things up or keep things tame? Your answers may influence my current project.
