Who Do You Love?


My baby is no longer a baby! Today, Roo is officially a big bad teenager, though he’s been moody and pit-stanktacular for a while.

I have more happy news…

Baby don’t hate, I've published number eight!

After four years of publishing, I’ve FINALLY managed more than seven releases! And 2016 isn’t even over yet!

Admittedly, I fell behind with my "release a month" plan after The Deliciously Dirty in Dallas signing in August threw off my writing mojo. It took over a week after our return to get back my groove.

The signing was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed having Aimie Grey as my table mate. While I managed to forget my banner at home, Aimie’s sexy new one got us plenty of eyeballs.

When my hotel reservation got jacked up, the woman at the Weston was awesome. She allowed us an upgraded room at the original discounted price plus offered free buffet breakfasts during our stay.

The hotel is RIGHT NEXT to the airport. Noisy, for sure, but very cool to see the airplanes closeup. In the mornings, we sat near the rooftop pool and watched the massive planes landing. I felt like a kid up there.

In personal growth news, I engaged with the R-word loving turd during the signing. She was as awful as I expected, but I never batted an eye. The last few months of prep work got me ready to deal with her nasty attitude. I’ve learned to accept how some people are raised to think using a cruel word is acceptable. There’s no changing them. I can only control my response.

Though Tigger and Roo enjoyed the Dallas trip, the latter decided to remain home during the upcoming Charlotte signing. Sally will no doubt enjoy the company.

Having begun writing the final Rawkfist MC book last week, I’ve completed about a third so far. Considering how road trips slow me down, I’d love to be halfway through by the time I leave for Charlotte. Ideally, I'll publish Train Wreck this month. Then I'll finish out the year with Evolution and Whiskey Blues. Eleven releases in a year would be well beyond anything I dreamed. Fingers crossed that it’ll all come together.

Until next time, Happy Autumn!
