I’m working on the next novella in the Take Me, Lover series. Then I shift gears to Red Queen. All Neuri, all the time. Well, except for all the other shifters and assorted creatures who belong in that world, too.
Take Me, Lover is all in this world, though, and I’m working on Take Me, Lover #3, Adventure Lover. It’s going to be fun to go from real world to werewolves and leshii and monsters, oh my.
I’ve enjoyed all the variety in my schedule over the last month, but I am looking forward to settling back into a full length novel set in a fictional world I know and finding out what new surprises it holds.
Most of all, though, it’s just fun to be a writer at work.

Two Knights in Camelot is on sale now!
This idea came about because I was watching First Knight and thought to myself, "If this was an Ellora’s Cave story, it’d end in happily ever after instead of in tragedy". And thus formed the kernel for my tale of magic, reincarnation and the Russian mob in Vegas.
To win your very own copy of Two Knights in Camelot, tell me what tragic love story you wish ended happily in the comments.

Imeem is my BFF when it comes to making playlists. Because often I do not know what song is going to work, so I have to listen to lots of stuff. I can usually tell very quickly if it’s right or not, but when you go through many possibilities, good search function is key.
The playlist for Adventure Lover:
All I Need, Within Temptation
Sunflower, Everclear
Open Road Song, Eve 6
A Lot Like Me, The Offspring
The Kids Aren’t Alright, The Offspring
Staring at the Sun, The Offspring

This week I am knee-deep in Adventure Lover, after wrapping up a. special ops tale and b. Undercover Lover last week. How do I switch to the next project?
First, I read over my synopsis and first chapters again. It read better than I expected, which was a nice surprise. I re-familiarized myself with the characters, setting and conflict, and made some notes on things to make sure I include in Act One. And also a note to make sure I do not turn the thing into a travelogue. (The story is set on the Olympic Peninsula, on trails I have hiked. Readers do not need an Olympic hiking trail guide, as several already exist and as that is not the purpose of this piece of writing.)
Second, build the story playlist. I don’t have one for this yet, so I’ll be listening for music that captures the feel of the story and helps me hook into it.
Third, sit down with the file open and write. It’s amazing how many words you can get if you just keep the file open and keep coming back to it throughout the day.
