Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! Hope you have a wonderful day.

This weekend I have been working on edits. Had Friday off (Yea!) and went to work on my summer release Summer's Girl which will be part of The Summer Seductions Books!

Received the edits from my publisher and finished them last night. Summer's Girl will be the 2nd book in my contemporary books which are loosely related. The characters from Seduced by the neighbour make a brief appearance.

Friday I worked on the final write for the third book in The Were Chronicles: Pack Territory.

I also finished my own edits for Fated Love. The sequel to my first book Savage Love, which was released in 2008.

I hadn't planned on writing anymore about the characters from Savage Love. I am not sure how it happened but I sat down to write a werewolf book and Marcus kept coming to my mind. I decided to try to write an outline for him, and Bam! here you get Fated Love.

I did have to go back to my notes from Savage Love and even read through it once to get my mind on track. I had forgotten that in Savage Love that Marcus had a southern accent. Cajun as matter of fact. So I ended up changing where the story takes place.

I am pretty pleased with the turn out and look forward to sending it to my editor this weekend.

But it got me thinking... how many secondary characters should I expect to pop up? Hmm... I guess you just never know.

Oh BTW! Alex does make an appearance in Fated Love. I mean how can you have a sequel without the main character from the first?

*** Now don't forget that we are only about a week away from the release of Pack Alpha*** April 20th!!! And The Were Chronicles will start!!!

Pack Alpha: The Were Chronicles Excerpt

Moving farther away from the porch towards the edge of the trees, Marissa felt her wolf jump inside her skin. God, how she wished she could shift.

Could let the wolf completely free like it wanted, like it needed.


But that wasn’t going to happen. She couldn’t shift and no one had figured out how or why this happened to some. Her DNA was not like her sister’s or a mortal human’s. She was caught somewhere in the middle.


Resigned and unhappy, she turned back towards the house and stopped short when she noticed the man who stood on porch watching her. Her wolf growled its approval, demanding she take this available male.


**********************************************************


Gage watched as Marissa’s eyes widened. She licked her lips, and his cock jumped in his jeans. He’d been surprised to find her staring into woods like she was ready to go running. He didn’t know much about non-shifters. They were not common. Only a handful of them existed. But the intensity of her stare was like that before a shift.


He quickly covered the distance between them. Marissa didn’t move away from him when he reached her. Her green eyes had started to glow.


"The wild calls to you?"


She nodded and licked her lips again.


"How does it make you feel? Not being able to shift?" He wanted to know more about her. He wanted to reach the woman, and the wolf, under the skin.


She looked so sad he wanted to wrap his arms around her and tell her everything would be okay.


She cleared her throat twice before speaking. "Trapped."


She had started shaking and he reached for her. "Does it hurt?" He couldn’t imagine how it would feel for his wolf to be trapped.


When she only shrugged a shoulder, he continued, "What can I do?"


Her gaze met his before dropping to his lips. When she sucked her bottom lip, he felt the last thread of his resolve slipping. Yanking her to him, he took control of her mouth. She didn’t fight him, but opened immediately. He plunged his tongue inside dominating the kiss. Her low moan only drove him on farther, harder. With one hand wrapped in her hair, holding her head still, he used the other to bring their bodies closer.


Her lips moved against his. Her hands clawed at the shirt on his back.

What kind of writer are you?

This weekend I was finishing the final edots for the third book in The Were Chronicles Series: Pack Territory.

While going through this I realised something. I have never kept an ending. I mean never!!!

They say there are two kind of writers. The fly by the seat of the pants writers and the outliners. Myself I am an outlining. I have a serial notebook for every story I do.

In that notebook I have a characters page including description. I also have a synopsis on what should happen. Then I break down scenes. I do not number the scene but write what I want to happen throughout the book. The scenes get moved around. I use them in diffrent places but I get an idea on how things will happen.

I also go chapter by chapter. Then I write the first draft. Then I put it away for a few days (weeks) before going back and doing the re-write. Then once again put it away (hopefully for only a few days) before I start the edits.

Now depanding on the story length and all that edits can be done two to four times. After that I do a final run through to make sure everything is polished before I send it in to my editor.

Well this weekend I started wondering how I have changed every single ending I have ever had. I have even changed the ending after I have sent it to my editor. Probably drives her crazy!

I have now contracted eight books. And yes all eight of those books once had a different ending. Never would have guessed it.

So tell me. What kind of writer are you?
