Greetings and happy March! To me, March is the real month of love (not February). I married my school sweetheart on a warm March day years and years ago. We’ve been together a REALLY long time and sometimes I can’t believe how lucky I got. Sometimes my hubby likes to remind me of that, too. LOL
The Work in Progress:
Book 3 of the Scandalous Brides series, Love and Other Disasters, was going really well until mid Feb when my RSI flared up. I’ve had to work slower and more rest more for the last few weeks, but the story finally got there and was sent off to my editor a few days ago. Yay. So happy to have another novel in the Scandalous Brides series almost done. Jasper and Sophie were a lot of work but totally worth it in the end! I should have edits back next week and then I’ll put it up for pre-order and share cover and blurb.
The Next Release
Desperately Seeking Seduction is nearing completion too. A bit slow thanks to the RSI situation, but I don’t foresee any issues with this one. The ebook is available for pre-order at Amazon, Apple Books, Nook, and Kobo now. Google will be up shortly and then the print edition too. My upcoming blog posts will feature some early teaser excerpts.
Indieversary
I’ve just started my 13th year as a published indie author. When I self-published my first book, In the Widow’s Bed, in 2011 I hoped to find maybe 100 people who might enjoy it. I had a pretty modest goals. Still do, too. But I never imagined I’d end up publishing 56 original stories (not including boxed sets and anthologies). Such an astonishing number. Let the good times, and my imagination, continue dreaming up new scandalous romances!
Sydney Book Signing
In February, I had an absolute blast at the Australian Romance Readers Association book signing! Got to hang out with old friends and met lot of new faces, too. Were you there? After a couple of years keeping away from people, it was wonderful getting back to Sydney and the ARRA. I had so much fun that I’m already planning to attend next year, too. So if you’re keen on supporting and meeting some great Aussie Authors, I recommend you check out ARRA. It would be great to meet you next year at the signing.
