Pigeon Forge, TN I Love it Here!

I'm still in Pigeon Forge and having so much fun. I've been over to Gatlinburg as well and have had so much fun. There is so much to do here! I can't wait to come back.

I'm already outlining a series to be set here in the area. The Smokey Mountains are gorgeous and offer so much to do. I can just see my characters living here. What do you all think about that?

I'm also getting plenty of writing in while I'm here. The second book in They Knights in Black Leather series is just about finished. The heroine, Stacey Addison and her men, Steve and Ben Tyler are fighting their love and need for each other. I'm on pins and needles to see them finally admit they are meant to be together.

I wanted to give my friends a heads up as well as to where I'm going this coming year.

I'll be at Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention (RT) in Kansas City, MO  May 1st through the 5th 2013  Here is the link http://www.rtconvention.com/

I'll be at RomCon June 20 - 23rd in Colorado Springs, CO outside of Denver. Here is the link http://www.romcon.com/index_copy.htm

I'll be at Hot Mojave Knights October 18 - 20th in Henderson, NV outside of Las Vegas. Here is the link http://www.hotmojaveknights.com/

I'll let you know if another one pops up on the horizon.  I'm back to writing now. Talk to you all again soon!

I See A Book Ahead of Me!

Well, I finally made it to Pigeon Forge, TN in the Smokey Mountains. It is absolutely gorgeous here even in the winter. I've already got a few ideas for a book and can't wait to get started on fleshing it out. I really needed this mini-vacation. I brought along all sorts of um, research material. ;-)

Be thinking of me everyone. They say there is an ice storm coming and I don't want to loose power and not be able to write when my battery goes down. Wouldn't that be crazy!  I am here to write and relax.

I hope to do a little exploring while I'm here as well to use in a book. I think it would be fun to base one out of this area. I'm going to do some serious plotting and thinking over it. One of the things I want to do is look at some of the park here and read up on the animals and such. There are so many things to do and so little time.

Okay, time to get started relaxing. LOL  I'll keep in touch while I'm here and let you know what I'm doing.

Ready For A Change

 I'm looking around and finding that there are not enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished that I want to. Between the Evil Day Job and life in general, finding time to write has become a major ordeal. There has to be a better way to arrange my life. I'm going to work on it while I'm gone next weekend.

I'm leaving Thursday to head to Pigeon Forge for a nice LONG weekend of relaxation and plenty of writing. No phones to interrupt me and no distractions to entice me away from the computer. I'll keep in touch through the Internet since I would miss you guys too much otherwise, but writing is the main theme for the weekend.

Because I can't not show you, here is my latest cover. It's for Between A Rock and A Hard Place.
 
I'm not as impressed with this cover as my others, but it is still true to the characters. Vernon is bald and a bad-ass where Rhodes has long dark hair. They have to find Jessie and bring her home so they can make her theirs. The only thing standing in their way besides Tussler, her brother is, well, Jessie herself. She isn't quite sure she wants to live the life of a biker bitch. At least not the way her brother's gang lives. Little does she know that The Ghost Riders are a law unto themselves and aren't your typical MC. Vernon and Rhodes will enjoy teaching her what being their woman really means.
 
 
This is scheduled to be published in February. As soon as I have the exact date, I'll post it. I can't wait to start the next one. I already have an idea of who it will be about. Maybe I'll share that with you soon.
 
Right now I'm in the middle of edits for Making Them Happy. It's the next in the series for The Men of Space Station One.
 
Here is one of my favorite pictures that I use for inspiration. Hope you enjoy!

Knights in Black Leather Book Two in the Works

Hey guys! I'm working on Book Two of the "Knights in Black Leather" series and it's going great so far! No name as of yet, but I'll let you guys know when I figure it out :-) I'm sure you're all wondering what the second book is about, so I'll give you a little information to give you the idea. :-)

The two brothers, Steve and Ben Tyler, have difficulty sharing. They are as different as brothers can be- Steve owns Heavy Trinkets and Ben is a veterinarian. They do have one thing in common- both men have it bad for Stacey Addison. Steve, who is heavy into BDSM, goes after Stacey, intent on making her his submissive. Ben doesn't think Steve is treating her right and wants her for his own. Stacey loves both men, but she won't make a decision or come between the brothers so she backs away from them. Steve and Ben will have to join forces and agree to share before someone else takes away what they consider theirs.
