Happy New Year

Well, here we are, friends and readers. Another year under the belt. Another batch of wonderful romance novels to read. More days to do the things you love and be with the people who mean the most to you.

For me, 2024 will be the time to get serious about writing again. I've been through almost two years of upheaval: a move, changes in my job, a sick mother, a cancelled writing project. Yikes! While I haven't stopped writing and don't intend to, I've definitely been derailed. I want to get back to my three books a year pace, which was a pretty good clip. A few novels and maybe an anthology will satisfy me!

Another goal is to wrap up a couple of my series, including the final Wicked Affairs book, the final Birds of Paradise book and I've been playing with the idea of writing a companion novel to my Imogene series, about her three brothers.

Alas, many books are started by few are completed.

The most current project is my next novella for a Christmas anthology due next year for publication. Since I have group responsibilities here, it will be the first thing I finish.

I'm ready for the new year!!!!

Giving Thanks

Wow! I am dizzy with the speed of this year's passing! You? 

Well, what's new? I already told you that an anthology I was to be part of was cancelled. But, good news, I am part of a new one for Christmas 2024, probably available sometime in Sept/Oct of next year. That's just the fun of being part of a group project! 

This will be a Regency setting - my story is set in the winter of 1816, during one of the worst weather events of the 19th Century. But honestly, isn't that one of the best tropes in romance writing, forced proximity? Bad weather, especially snow, can make for some romantic, sexy times!! Add Christmas and a few mistletoe kisses... What can I say, it will be hot. I know you expect no less.

So, Thanksgiving is coming up. I will have a week off as family will be visiting and my sister has all kinds of things planned. Come December, I am traveling by train to the coast for a few days in the sun. I know these next few weeks will fly by.

MANY THANKS to all of you who've purchased my books and even better read them and left reviews. It means so much!

Hang with me

Hi readers! 

Some sad news. My anthology has been canceled! I was really excited for this...the story premise was very interesting.  I'll need to rewrite this, of course. That is always a pain but when the story line itself is interesting, it is doable.

The real problem is that I am just behind! Moving, a couple work trips, sick parents, my focus has just been missing.

So, hang with me please! I will get some new stories out soon.

Keep on reading! E.

New Anthology coming

          

 Just a quick update:

Still writing, but at a little slower pace due to my very, very hectic last nine months. I feel like things have settle down quite a bit, so onward!!

The main project right now is the anthology I am working on. The book is due in October with a publication date around January 2024. Of course, delays can happen when you are working with several authors, but I am hopeful. These stories will be all new works, including author Sandra Sookoo! I really like the binding premise of the stories. Let's just say there are many interesting characters visiting the curiosity shop.

You know I mostly write Regency-era romance. This will be in the Victorian era, much like my Imogene Farrell series, (which you should read - it is consistently my high-rated books/series). There are just so many changes happening in England during the Victorian era: telephones, expansive train routes, suffragette movements, Jack the Ripper, the building of Tower Bridge and so much more. It's going to be a fun, and magical, anthology.
