Living a Dream, One Word At a Time

Website changes! And a cover sneak peek!

by

So in case you didn’t notice! The PINK IS GONE! I’ve updated my website a little bit (NO MORE PINK, Can you tell I’m excited by that?) I have a blue bar at the top I can’t seem to get rid of (working on it) the spammers are under control AND I’m editing like a MOFO!

ALSO! Because you’ve all been so nice and patient with me. I’m giving you a Sneak peek of the cover for “Duty, Honor, Love” as I finish up re-writing book 2 in this series (Duty, Honor, Sacrifice) and clear up the last few edits. I don’t have a release date but once I do here’s hoping for a BIG cover release PARTY!! WOOO!

So with-out further Ado here is the Banner for my newest book!

I need to Blog more!

by

I know, I know, I need to blog more. Life has been all shades of crazy lately! Here is the basic updates:

In case you missed it! Unsportsmanlike Conduct released in November! It was featured in USA TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A year to the day of my last release Boots on the Ground. The past year has been spent writing-A LOT. I’ve completed Craig’s Story as book 2.5 in the “Canada’s Finest” series. As well as “Special Investigations.

Only after writing both of those did I figure out that I need ANOTHER book. I mean I don’t have to, but I can’t have Jason on the edge at the end of Boots on the Ground, only to have him all happy and living a good life at the beginning of Special investigations! OI!

So book 4, which is in order-book 3 is being written, as I write book 4, Book 2.5 and book 3 are being altered as well. So it means you’ll get three books very rapidly, but in the mean time you’ll’ll have to wait just a bit longer for them!!

In other news I’m working on a R&R for “Duty, Honor, Love”. A book about a telepathic cop. I wrote this book a while ago, so it needs some work but I’m super excited about this trilogy (which is all more or less written, just needs A LOT of revisions) Book 1-Duty, Honor, Love Book 2-Duty, Honor, Sacrifice Book 3-Duty, Honor, Death are the three novels in the “Toronto’s Elite” series. I’m hoping to send off the R&R by the end of January so cross your fingers for me that this book/series finds a good home!

Last but not least, my plans for  RT2014, are very up in the air at the moment. I want very much to go, I have my hotel reservation ready. I’m just waiting as with my RL job I have an opportunity to attend a conference in Germany. As the conferences overlap I have to choose one or the other, as much as I LOVE RT and everything about it, if my paper is accepted for presentation in  Germany then I’ll be off to Europe for a few weeks! (Because why go for a 5 day conference when you can go for 3 weeks?!). Once in a lifetime opportunity that I just can’t pass up, both personally and professionally.

As this fantastic new year starts with so many new opportunities and hurtles I wish everyone the best for 2014 and I hope that you have a wonderful kick-off to 2014

Boots on the Ground

by

Wee!!

In case you missed my exciting news! Phaze just contracted the follow-up to my debut novel Sometimes It’s Fate 

 “Boots on the Ground” is due out in the Spring of 2012!! It features Jason and David Plus! two new characters Ash and Matthew. 

Here is the blurb (subject to change):

Ash Cooper knows him and, his Civilian Police partner, Jason McCarty need to do one thing- Stay Alive. An IED attack leaves both men stranded in the high desert of Afghanistan and running from insurgents. With damaged satellite phones and Ash being injured their only hope is to take refuge with a group of civilians until they can be rescued. But rescuers don’t come and as the days turn to weeks Ash and Jason think about home, the partners they left behind, and when all hope is lost they turn to each other in a struggle for survival. 

 I’m so excited to bring these boys back :)!

Rejections, the good and the bad

by

So I subbed my latest book to two publishers on Saturday morning.

Monday morning at at 8:05 am I got my first rejection. The good news is that it was personal feedback, not your standard form-rejection. So that’s something.

The bad:

1. Mechanics need some work

2. More spit and polish needed

3. Not right for this publisher.

 

The good:

1. They thought the concept was good and had potential

2. They recommended that I have a look see at other publishers who might fit my needs.

 

I’m kinda sad to receive this rejection as I really wanted to work with this publisher, however I understand their reasons especially if they think it won’t work with their audience.

So onwards and upwards, waiting on publisher #2 who I would also like to work with before I start looking at others. In the mean time I’ll be spitting and polishing as much as possible before my next ’round of subs.
