Getting my groove back

Yep. I've been neglecting my blog lately. I'd like to blame my new lap top which seems to freeze every single time I try and save a blog entry but this is really just a lame excuse. The truth is that getting back to work after ten months of medical leave has been more challenging than I ever expected. I have a tendency to nod off on my couch like a little old lady around 8:30 at night, which makes writing anything just about impossible.

That being said I see signs of improvement all the time. It's all slowly getting better. My hair is growing back, which is fantastic. Having had long hair most of my life it's bizarre working with a few measly inches of the stuff. I'm doing a sort of Justin Bieber pompadour right now and hoping people aren't assuming I'm a transsexual. Not that there's anything wrong with that but the boy hair combined with the boy chest isn't exactly making me feel sexy.

Which brings me to my next lame attempt to shift the blame away from my own laziness. You see, the hormone therapy has pretty much crushed my libido so the spicy parts of my books are still a challenge but I'm hoping that will improve soon. I caught myself checking out a construction worker the other day so my interest in men and their fabulously interesting body parts must be buried in there somewhere.

But enough about my stupid cancer recovery. I'm doing great and that's really all that matters. Besides, if you're reading this you probably want to know when you can expect my next book. Well, the Kingston Bros book I was working on, "Fair Market Value" is going to be delayed. About halfway through I realized that I couldn't really go ahead with my plan to bring my own medical issues into the plot line. Cancer just kills the sexy and there's no way of getting around it.

I want my books to be fun and entertaining, not depressing or scary. So I will need to re-work it to reflect a lighter tone. But I can tell you that Serena will make an appearance but Karl will not play a major role. He will be back in another Kingston Brothers book but his storyline will not be advanced anytime soon. I know he's not the most popular but I love a good villain and he's a chilling character I can't wait to re-visit.

In the interim I am working on a new Delta of Venus Inc., book under my other pen name, Verena Vincent. This should be completed in the next few months, so I hope you'll check it out. I'll put a notice up on Goodreads before I publish it on Amazon.

Until then, thanks again and I hope 2014 is full of good reads, big laughs and much love for you all.
