August 2010

Rock Hard complete! The second round of revisions went well. The book is finally finished. It’s a long book. It’s even longer than Backstage Pass, which, for an erotic romance novel, is very long.

Hot Ticket finished. Well, I finished the first draft mid-month. I sent it to a few author friends who serve as my second readers. Hopefully, they don’t think it sucks. This part always makes me nervous. Up until now, no one has seen it but me.

I LOVE Research! I’m so lucky. I get to go to great concerts like ROCKSTAR’s Uproar Festival for research. Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed make excellent research subjects. Oh, and I observed the FOH for an entire set. The heroine in book 4 is a soundboard operator and I needed to see what they do during the show.

Another early review for Backstage Pass from armsofasister.com. Here’s an excerpt:

A touring rock and roll band. The guys are HOT! Groupies. Young. Scantily clothed. Excitement. Lust. The tour bus. And a female Dr. of Human Sexuality. With a pink '57 Ford Thunderbird convertible. When you combine all of that - and I do mean combine - you get sex. Lots of it. Kinky sex. Threesome sex. Voyeuristic sex. Quickie sex. All kinds of sex. And it's all described in detail.

Sinners on Tour Book 4! I just started writing it. I’m currently calling it Snared, but my publisher never keeps my titles, so we’ll see how long that lasts. This is Eric Stick’s story. It’s sure to be a fun one!

Rock Hard copy edits. Yep, already. But that means the ARCs will be ready to print and sent out to reviewers soon.

Hot Ticket revisions. My second readers had some great suggestions so I’m working on a few revisions before I send it to my editor at the end of the month.

Snared writing was going well and then... copy edits and revisions happened. It’s currently on hold. I’m not making much progress.

Sinners’ website. I’m working on their website all month and counting down to my release date of October 1st on my blog. Lots of fun to be had! You can even buy official Sinners merch and chat with the members of Sinners.

Reviews. I’m getting lots of them now and they’re great! I’m so happy. YAY!! I’ll be posting excerpts from some of them on Backstage Pass’s main page and links to the full-length reviews on my facebook page. Also check out goodreads. Many post reviews there, too.

Rock Hard ARC cover! Isn’t it beautiful?

The blurb on the back reads:

An ultimatum can break your heart....

Every night lead singer, Sed Lionheart whips thousands of women into a frenzy with his voice alone. But the stage is the only place Sed feels any passion since he lost Jessica...

If you’re not willing to break all the rules...

It shattered her heart, but law student Jessica broke off her engagement to Sed, determined to be successful on her own terms. But no other man can ever hold a candle to Sed...

Then a chance meeting and tortuously close quarters lead to uncontrollable flares of passion and rediscovery of their unique penchant for public encounters. Now, in addition to the risk of mutual heartbreak every time they get together, they’re in danger of truly scandalous public exposure...

Backstage Pass is released on October 1st! My dream come true.

Reviews. I’m still getting more reviews and they’re still great! Still posting review excerpts from some of them on Backstage Pass’s main page and links to the full-length reviews on my facebook page. Also check out goodreads. Many post reviews there, too.

Awesomeness! Book reviewer and self-proclaimed Sinners groupie, Leontine, created buttons that you can put on your blog or website to declare where your Sinners loyalties lie. There’s a different badge for each member of the group, or if you can’t pick just one (and who can?) there’s a badge for the whole group. Get the badges on Leontine’s Book Realm blog here.
