New Doms and slow progress

I spent this week writing as much as I can on Mercy’s next book. It’s unannounced, there is no pre-order for it yet and I haven’t revealed the title, but I can share that it is Theo and Callie’s story. I gave myself my birthday week to get as much of a start on it as I can before I set it to one side and get back to Ares and Josie. I’m loving these new characters and want to spend more time in their world! And I can’t wait for readers to read this book – it’s the first book I’ve released featuring a male submissive.

Mercy’s next release is Sold to Her Enemy: A Night To Remember Auction out later this month, on the 21st.

My hand is still healing and it’s making typing slow – which is making me a little grumbly because the word count on the somewhat secret male submissive book would be higher if I had my normal speed – and it’s a little achy when it rains which makes me feel like kind of crotchety which isn’t a downside; there is a huge part of me that kind of digs the hedge witch image.

In my emails today, I spotted this great deal from Golden Angel. Grab the Nights at Stronghold: Stronghold Doms Boxset for $0.99. These books are fun and spicy with memorable characters and definitely a great deal!

Thoughts on nourishing the weary creative

We are in the season of “Looks warm out there, but isn’t,” with the nights on their way to lengthening as the wheel moves into the darker months of the year. I’ve been thinking about nourishment and how we eat for nutritional reasons but also for nourishment or wanting to feel satisfied reasons and one thing I appreciate about my marriage as I open my kitchen cupboards and see spices I didn’t have growing up, is the abundance of new food it brought (new recipes, new celebrations).

I made breaded eggplant last night, served with turkey left over from our Thanksgiving, and the idea of that feast feeding everyone now is a really nice one to kind of take on in this chilly morning. Nourishment can be found in simple, unfrilled ways.

Also, thinking about how as a writer, I do better when I know someone is waiting on my words and how as a former blogger, I kind of miss having an immediate audience. November is National Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and I’ve challenged myself to blog here every day of November to see if it nourishes some of my writing that I have missed while having a blog. No promises that I’ll be interesting or entertaining, going to do my best to show up here.

For the past few weeks, I have tossed a writer friend pages to read while they’ve tossed theirs at me and that exchange has given me new energy and I got a book done for my alter-ego (ready for betas soon). There is something to this having an audience thing that spurs creativity.

Since I was last here, Flame For Foe has been released into the wild.

Ah! Chasing Words. Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit! Happy November!

This week, I felt like I was in some kind of time warp with the weather! 20C in November? Yeah, I’ll take that. Last year my cubs were trick-or-treating in an ice storm. This year, they did it in sweaters.

And maybe that’s why I’ve felt a little off, a little split-focused, chasing the words, getting the edits done on Flame True, to realize that I need to adjust to make something work for Book Five. The downside of being a plotter/planner is that when you outline to ensure there are no plot holes, fitting in something unexpected takes some mental gymnastics. I am a plotter AND an intuitive writer, and I don’t know how it gels, but it just does, and I am so grateful to be writing.

If you click to Get Sexy Tonight, you’ll find plenty of erotica and erotic romances up for grabs in this month’s group promotion.

Here’s a snippet of Flame True, and it is on preorder for $2.99USD right now
