It’s happening!
RENLEY is here, and it’s not a moment too soon. I feel like I waited forever. Check out Renley and Adder’s story. I think you will be satisfied, but remember, I recommend you start this series with book 1, RAIDEN, to get the entire story arc.
RENLEY is a week away, and this is my last pre-teaser. Thank you, the.open.bookish.mom, for making my lovely teasers for the previous week and this week. You’ve been an amazing PA, and I will sadly miss you, but you will be a forever friend.
It’s been a trial.
I had been feeling better for about three weeks and only had my voice back for two days before I got sick again. My husband gave me his cooties again. I know, I know… this is divorce-level bullshit.
RENLEY went to the formatter yesterday. He should be going to ARC readers next Tuesday. It’s very exciting. Somehow, after all the delays, he is on track for his release date. I will be honest; I didn’t think it would happen.
For today’s WIP typo, I have a name boo-boo. I may have confused Ronan’s name with the word Roadmap. He didn’t hold it against me, thankfully.
Celebrating R. Sullins new release Those Who Whisper!
Title: Those Who Whisper
Author: R. Sullins
Genre: Paranormal Ghost Romance
Release Date: March 28, 2023
From International and USA Today bestselling author comes a new thrilling tale of ghosts that want to be set free and the young woman that wants to help them, even at the cost of her own heart.
I never expected to fall in love with a ghost…
I had to get away from my life.
As if anxiety was something I could escape from.
But landing a job half a world away,
teaching a precious little girl at her home in Scotland,
seemed like the perfect answer.
The Manor was beautiful.
Large and mysterious,
it held secrets that lurked
behind the glass panes and painted walls.
Secrets about a witch.
Secrets about a curse.
Secrets like – all the ghosts from the past are still here.
And they wanted me to end the curse.
But if I did, I would lose him.
:WARNING:
Do not read if you don’t enjoy insta-love, or ghostly relationships.
This is pure fantasy, not to be confused with reality, and readers should go in with a suspension of disbelief.
So in RENLEY, Adder’s best friend is Jasper Stetson, otherwise known as Jazzie September– a fabulous gold star gay. He’s a touch catty, a little uncouth, and generally downright loyal, but doesn’t always extend his loyalty to the things that come from his mouth in front of others. He and Levi commonly share the inability to keep secrets, secret. Nothing is particularly sacred, as you can see here in what I have dubbed ‘The Not So Bestie Teaser.’
It’s my great joy to share more RENLEY with you. This is a little of Chapter 5… you may think from this that you know what’s going on, but I assure you, you do not. Renley’s a white knight, this book really lets him shine.
I’m sick again! Woot!
It seems once a book I catch the plague and screw up my deadline. Like, for instance, the deadline for this draft is Friday, and I’ve been sick 10 days and the book is 19% done on beta. Oh yeah, we are clearly screwed there.
So, let’s talk about the book. It’s a little done. I am fattening it up like the feted calf. I always love the be characters more than my main characters and nothing is different in this book. Jazzie is so fun to write. I am about to rearrange my calendar, so my writing goal isn’t an unreachable 7500 words a day, while I’m ill.
And about this teaser… Shelby must have an unusual relationship with his coffee… or I made it uncomfortable the way I wrote it. And it was supposed to be SIPS.
So much has happened in only a week.
I am irritated, frustated and some other –tateds. I’ve been having some trouble with my dominant hand for a while. Swelling, numbness and other bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Friday, I woke up and it was swollen and felt like I had fire ants under my skin. I went to urgent care and was like… ‘I think I have shitty arthritis.’ They came back to me and were like, ‘No, you are wrong.’ They couldn’t tell me more than that but put a rush appointment in for me with my GP, who saw me first thing Monday morning.
I was like… ‘You sure this ain’t arthritis?’ And she was like, ‘No, you have De Quervain tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel.’ At which time I looked her in the eye and said, ‘I don’t have time for that.’ She laughed and laughed and gave me steroids, wrist braces and a follow-up appointment for 6 weeks. Because this bullshit, bullshit, bullshit has all the time in the world for me.
Continue ReadingI’m almost done with RENLEY–well, the first draft. I still have to do the hard work and the rework of it and do it in a tight deadline because I’m going to Las Vegas with my bestie for a few days on a girls’ weekend. I’ll be starting the rewrite on Saturday, watching the Superbowl on Sunday… so any writing I get done that day will be done EARLY… very early, since I get up at 0400-0500. It shouldn’t be a problem. Yes, I use twenty-four hour time. Hey, my husband used to do international travel for work, and it was the easiest way for us to sync up since most countries in Europe use it too. We never stopped using it. I also tend to write dates in European standard and use Celsius.
I suck like that, and Bri is generally correcting my date usage, and ignoring my Celsius claims.
So, here is my typo of the week. It would seem there is a sneaky camera in their gardening equipment. My characters are bizarre and do weird things. Why wouldn’t they put surveillance equipment in a hoe?
