Busy Weekend!

I didn’t expect it to turn out this way, but as sometimes happens in this business, a lot of things came to a head this weekend. First, you may have noticed, I’ve changed my word count meter. Yes, I finished the first draft of ONCE BITTEN, TWICE DEAD yesterday. (And there was great rejoicing!)

While it was all fresh in my mind, I began work on the sequel today and am already about 3,000 words into it. I’ll probably write a bit more tonight because I’m seeing it very clearly right now and want to get my plans for this novel mapped out a bit more before I settle in. I have a little bit of free time, so it’s best to lay the groundwork for the next novel now, before things get busy again. I’m agonizing over a title for it now… wish me luck.

The other happenings this weekend include a new contract offer from Samhain. It looks like I’ll be expanding my contemporary paranormal world a bit next year with the publication of a great cat shifter story I’ve had in the works for a while. It’s called CAT’S CRADLE and I’m thrilled it’s found a home at Samhain.

I also changed the graphic theme on the main pages of my website (the parts with the castle background). It went from being 800 pixels wide to 900 pixels. I’m curious to know what people think of the new arrangement, so please feel free to give me feedback either here, by email, or on my Yahoo group. It still needs a little work in some places, but I’ll be doing more on it this coming week – things always need updating when I have a new release anyway, so it’s the perfect time to fix things.

There’s been a lot of activity behind the scenes this weekend too. Some personnel changes and shakeups that I’m sure will have everyone talking next week, but let’s not forget what’s really important. LOL. I have a new book coming out on Tuesday! Yes, it’s all about me. hee hee hee.

Well… to be more accurate… it’s all about Grady Prime and his love life. GRADY’S AWAKENING is due out in ebook formats on Tuesday from Samhain, so please don’t miss it! It’s a plus sized novel that is scorching hot, with what I hope you will find to be a great story with lots of cool new characters.

Now it’s back to writing for me. Have a great rest of your weekend!
