#MondayBlogs Post and You Want Me To What??

Howdy #Mondayblogs fans!

 

My book, Undesirable, hit Amazon on the 14th.  Since then no less than four people have asked me what’s next.  Sure, I know what’s next on my plate, but it might be a while.

Secretly?  I like the impatience and curiosity of my friends and family.  It means they like what I do well enough to want more.  That’s never a bad thing and I’m thrilled.  So while I’m writing a prequel to my Oregon Trail series, get started reading Undesirable or maybe Undeniable first if you’ve not read it yet. Out of order is fine, too, and you won’t be lost, it’s just not what I’d prefer.  Meanwhile, I’ll be planning arguments, fights, and love at first sight.  When that’s done and I get to type the last line, my next task is to paint another cover for Unavoidable, the Oregon Trail series prequel.

After that, there’s a lot more down the road. The last book in the series, The Very Worst Man, three more American West novels, some paranormal romances, and some science fiction.  There’s be mysteries, romance, and all sorts of plot twists in these.  I’m so excited at the projects hovering on my horizon and hope my readers are, too!

Book Release date set!

Available on Amazon July 14th, everywhere else October 13th.

Undesirable, available July 14th!

It’s been a long time since Lucky’s Christmas Wish dropped into stores and I’ve forgotten how much fun this is!  I’ve also forgotten what all I need to do to get the word out about this book.  I’m a new enough author that I can’t get, or rather haven’t dared to get, the pre order option.  So I feel odd about advertising before the product is out there for purchase.  At any rate, I’ll probably make time on this blog each day for a post.  Today is nervous excitement, tomorrow may be the value of a good editor.  Who knows?  I’ll be posting things I’ve learned each day before the book drops, so that if nothing else, when Uncivilized is ready to go, I can come back.

In the meantime, and if this sounds disjointed, it’s because my mind is still back in Oregon Territory, August 1858.  There’s a rescue to choreograph, a death to mastermind, and maybe a gratuitous sex scene to write.  

 

This is not the MondayBlog you are looking for.

Yes, I had plans for this post.  Maybe.  Sort of.

Ok, I’ll ‘fess up.  I’ve been so focused on Undesirable, wanting to finish the last chapter and a half already.  Some authors experience grief when typing ‘The End’ to their books.  Not me.  When this is done, I’m moving on to Uncivilized, which has its bare bones typed in already.  Even after that, there’s the Santa Fe Trail, Orphan Trains, and either the Pony Express or the Mormon Trail.

Then too, I may take it in a totally different direction and go all science fiction on everyone.  I know, logically, that I’ll be more likely to see superstar success if I stick to and build up one genre of my work.  Emotionally and as a reader, I never read just one genre.  How can I write only one?

So my question is, if anyone chooses to answer, are you a laser focused reader or writer?  Or are you more of a shotgun, reading or writing everything and anything?  Answer in the comments and don’t be shy!

So you’re the touchy-feely type, huh?

Here you go. The cute little novella, The Very Best Man available in paperback in the next couple of days.  My bet is Wednesday.  It’s a cute, fun, and ‘can you believe this?’ kind of read.  So go, already, poke around in the author’s page I have, check out a sample, see what you think. Then, if you like the sample, you can order the paperback if the smell of ink is your thing.

The Very Best Man!

Ok!  The book is out on Amazon exclusively.  If there’s a demand, I’ll see about putting it on Nook, iBooks, and others in the future.

At the back of this is an excerpt from The Very Worst Man, which is 75% done and has been fun to write.  The hero is a loveable nice guy who decides to be bad to get the girl.  There’s sex, drama, murder, beer, and Wyoming, so you know it’s going to be fun.

The cover for “The Very Best Man”

The Very Best ManThis whole having to look at men and their washboard abs for a book cover has been tough!  Hours and hours spent and I didn’t even pick a shirtless guy.  I may have to go back and review why I didn’t pick any of the somewhat nude men for this.

Kidding aside, this cover perfectly shows the sweet and spicy contemporary romance I have planned for release this week.  Let me know what you think about this being a good back of the book blurb:

“Jane Lawson planned everything to the last detail.  When her sister, the maid of honor, flakes out on every task, the best man, David Wells steps up to the job.  He sacrifices his time for cake and wine tasting, dress shopping, and other duties as assigned.

David is in trouble.  Spending time with his childhood friend’s fiance has turned an attraction into love.  He wanted to bow out of the ceremony, but to walk away meant less time spent with Jane.  With no light at the end of this wedding’s tunnel, he’s not willing to give up a single second with her.”

Like it?  Don’t like it?  Nothing is etched in stone so go ahead and tell me!
