Just to Tease your Tuesday

It’s another Tuesday… they keep happening. It’s like they’re weekly or something.

I have another Trace teaser for you. I love this guy he’s tender, filthy and full of feels. Raiden is definitely special, but Trace is my kind of dude. I’d be all over him.

I love me a hot mess of a man.

✨✨WIP-It Wednesday✨✨

It’s WIP Wednesday again, and I’ve moved on to the printed manuscript of TRACE. This is what I read while the Betas are reading the digital document and making comments. I red mark my book, pick out errors and make notes where I need to build up areas. I also make notes where teasers and excerpts are… even though the one at the bottom of this page looks like the word ‘treason.’

TRACE Teaser Tuesday!

It’s Teaser Tuesday, and I’m so excited because I remembered to post on the correct day… and I don’t mean just any day that ends in Y, but an actual TUESDAY!

Hallelujah and amen, even.

So, here it is. You get to know what Vivi was thinking when she first saw Trace. I love this girl (no offense Lilah-pet).

✍️ WIP Wednesday Bear Skins And All

Hello, welcome to a lovely Wednesday! It’s Hump Day and that means another one of my updates, as well as a typo. Today’s typo is lovely… I mean bare skin, bear skin… who could confuse them?


I’m on chapter 17 of the second draft of TRACE. If you’ve read my previous WIPs, you know that I take my original draft, print it out and start an entirely new document. It’s going well. My word goal for draft two is 70,000, and I’m a little over halfway through the draft and at 73% of my goal. That will put this book likely at 80,000-85,000, which is quite typical for one of my books. The exception being Ethereal Bodies, which was close to 94,000.

The Last RAIDEN Teaser Tuesday

Today’s Teaser Tuesday is the last week of RAIDEN. Next week I’ll start posting teasers of TRACE. I’m so excited to be bringing you this teaser because it’s a blend of both. It’s a teaser about Trace and Vivi from RAIDEN.

And let’s also say, everyone that is anyone who knows me, is so excited that I got the math correct here!

Another WIP Wednesday

We are hard at work on TRACE. I’m 10 chapters in on the second draft which means I should be done by the end of the month if not a little sooner.

My process is to do the first draft, print it out and then rewrite it all over again in a new document with new content, cutting out excess, so it’s damn near close to what I want minus editing and beta feedback. Trust me to misspell the word shudder once in every book and for it to get through editing. It ALWAYS happens. Generally, it’s caught by an ARC reader when it’s too late. But it will be fixed in future editions when they are eventually published.

One of my WIP image today shows a snippet of two things: I can’t use a comma correctly and Bri was making changes back in 1969 the other night. I thought it was hilarious and I included it. There is another image inside this post with a TRACE WIP snippet so click to read more!

Raiden, Somnolence, Teaser Tuesday

❤️❤️❤️ Teaser Tuesday! ❤️❤️❤️

It’s Teaser Tuesday and it feels like it was just like… yesterday that I missed last Teaser Tuesday! But I’m on point this week: I’ve done the newsletter, I’ve posted to Instagram which posts to Facebook. I’m doing here in conjunction with doing my Goodreads blog AND I wrote 800 words in one hour on Trace’s second draft– I wrote sexond draft which might be more appropriate for Vivi and Trace.

Trace is coming along really well and you will start getting teasers from his book in a few weeks. Raiden deserves a little more love yet.

Here it is…

Working on the Second Draft of Trace

I started working on Trace’s second draft yesterday. I’ve been fighting with one of my office helpers for real estate on the manuscript. This one is a real PITA and writing dirty scenes with an actual pussy on the paper is no assistance at all.
