Howdy! Fall is here whether I like it or not. I’ve been wearing a fuzzy fleece jacket all week to write. Trees are beginning to change color, which is good because we usually get a freeze before we get any colors. Baseball is wrapping up (Go Yankees!) and Football is breathing new life into my little college town. It’s all good, but I’d still prefer a three season summer.
Favorite Song of the Week ~ I just learned that the Pet Shop Boys released a new album! So I go on the lookout for one to share with you here, and find this video. A great expression of inclusion and acceptance. Winner.
Work in Progress News ~ Plugging away on Dean. I also have a tentative title, which is pretty big news. I usually don’t get one until I’m done with the book! Since the book is about an ex-cop, and to go with Falling Star, I came up with Rising Heat. What do you think?
Backlist News ~ Speaking of, Falling Star got a new review last week. Ana’s Attic said: “I have read so many good “rock star” romances this summer, and this ranks way up there on my good list. I read it in one day, and didn’t want to put it down.” 4.5 stars.
Search Term of the week aka How People Found My Websites ~ This one: “kale and alexa o brien” is obviously from when I talked about my friend Trina M. Lee’s urban fantasy Alexa O’Brien Huntress series. I’ve made it no secret that Kale is my favorite character.
What I’m reading ~ I waited so long for Sandra Brown’s new book. Usually I tear right through them, then turn around and re-read it. This time I stretched it out for almost two full days. Low Pressure is just what I expect from this author. Great cast of characters and twists galore. Sigh. Now I have to wait for her next one. Write faster, Sandra!!
Hero Quote ~ Jake, from Retreat:
“You come near me, and I forget every restriction I’ve forced on myself.”
I think that’s called Propinquital Amnesia. Â (I just made that up, but it sounds pretty good, yeah?)
Back to work for me. I hope you all have a great weekend.
