A long overdue update...

I've been a blog neglector :( This is partially because I've been busy and partially because I was stressed out of my mind and blogging is one of the first things to go when I'm stressed. BUT. I am de-stressed (for the moment), so I'm blogging again!

First things first: Deeper We Fall is currently with the formatter (a few days early), which means it *might* come out before the 26th. I've got my fingers crossed :) My beta readers and my editor loved it, so I hope that you will too. It's different from My Favorite Mistake, but in a good way (I hope).

Speaking of My Favorite Mistake... I am just starting work on the sequel, which does not have a title. I can't share any details about it YET, but as soon as I can, I'll post them here or on Facebook, or I'll tweet them or yell them from the rooftops or buy a billboard. Something like that. I will also let you know when I have a date for the Harlequin edition of the paperback.

Third, I posted a tentative release date schedule on Facebook, so I'll re-post it here:


*These are only tentative dates and are subject to change due to a number of circumstances, including, but not limited to: illness, shiny new ideas, writer's block and/or zombie apocalypse*
*My Favorite Mistake #2 is not on this list because I don't have a date from my publisher as to when it will be out. I will be working on it starting soon, so you'll get updates as far as writing it goes, but I don't have a firm release date. As soon as I do, you'll be the first to know*

Fourth, I've become obsessed with The Vampire Diaries. Again. I got totally into it Season One, and then my television stopped getting the CW, so I got behind and I couldn't watch the episodes online with my old computer and I just sort of lost it. But I bought the first three seasons on Amazon and I got through all three in about a week. I was up late EVERY night because I just couldn't stop. I'm all caught up, and I will be doing (probably several) posts about my love for the show, especially my love for Ian Somerhalder. Or as I like to call him, The Smolderholder. Stay tuned....
Fifth, I am doing a photo shoot on Friday for my official author photo and I'm freaking out. I am NOT a photogenic person, and I'm not being modest or whatever. My face just doesn't photograph well. But, I have to have a picture, so I'm doing it. I'll share the results and maybe let you vote on which one I pick.
Sixth, I LOVE YOU GUYS. SO FREAKING MUCH. I sent checks to pay off some of my student loans and my car yesterday. THAT IS BECAUSE OF YOU. It's astounding to see how far I've come in such a short time. February 11 is my indieversary. I made a (somewhat ridiculous at the time) goal of being able to quit my job within a year of publishing, and I was able to accomplish that. There are so many other people out there who don't get this opportunity, and I am truly thankful that I get to live my dream every day.
Seventh (because things should come in sevens), I have become obsessed with biscotti. Seriously, I have four boxes of the stuff right now. It's the perfect companion to the massive amounts of tea I've been drinking while I finish Deeper We Fall. My favorite kind is lemon anise. So. Freaking. Good.
