An Update, Finally!
I apologize for my long silence. The past months have been full on both the personal and writing fronts.
In my writing life (which, of course, is your main interest), Duty is finished and almost polished. Responses from beta readers have been overwhelmingly positive. The polishing of the manuscript is almost complete. I still have some small stuff and some scenes to tweak before sending it off to my chief editor (my husband) an working on preliminary formatting.
The cover is finished and awaiting the final approval of my chief editor.
The book trailer is polished and ready for final approval. Then it will only need the links to Amazon and Smashwords to be complete.
Bookmarks are designed. Still on my design list are tote bags, posters, and a mug. Would anyone be interested in T-shirts?
Meanwhile, I am brainstorming a short story to offer as a supplement to Duty. There were some references in Duty to incidents in the character's history. I am curious about those events and the only way I am going to find out the story is to write it. So, The Sword of Korma Monroe (tentative title) will not be a romance, but a straight adventure.
In other projects, the forward momentum is slow.
White Bear, as much as I would love to just finish it, has not come easily.
I am plotting for Diaspora. I really want to explore Ruhan's home world, Domestica, and see its culture through Myah's eyes.
Any questions or comments are welcome. Keep your eyes open for Duty's cover reveal. It should be coming soon. :)

I know what you mean, Valerie. No matter how convenient ebooks are, I still prefer the paper and ink. With a tangible book one never needs batteries or electricity to read during the day. :) Plus, there is something about the feel and the weight of the pages that makes the whole experience perfect. :)
I don't know if you would consider this a keepsake, but I love to get my hands on a quality hard bound good ol' fashioned print and paper copy of a favorite classic old-timey book, even if I have an electronic copy of it.
Bookmark would be next though ;)
