Select D'Vaire titles coming to print soon!

It’s been an exciting week around my house. On Saturday I was lucky enough to secure an author spot at GRL. If you’re unfamiliar with GRL, it’s a retreat for authors and readers which will take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico in October. For more information on the event or how you can join us for a lot of fun, go visit www.gayromlit.com. I’m glad that this year the husband and I can drive there, and I’ve convinced him to attend. If you’ve got some ideas for the types of swag you’d like to see, let me know. I’d love to give some away to my readers who aren’t going as well, so even if you have no interest in attending think about the fun things you might want.

Since I can’t go to a retreat like GRL without at least one D’Vaire book in print, I’m happy to announce that certain titles will appear for the very first time in paperback! I’m going to start with Dra’Kaedan’s Coven and Sentinel’s Dagger. My plan is to convert more of them in the future and I’ll have more news on when you can get your copy soon. I’ve never gotten to hold one of my own books in my hands so I’m pretty thrilled.

Next week you’ll get to see the cover for the next book in the series: Becoming D’Vaire. I love it and I hope you do too. Delaney’s story will be available on March 14th and I’ll set it up so you can pre-order it a few days before that if you’d like. I can’t wait for you to get to spend some time with Delaney and get to know his mate Grigori.

I finished Damian’s story last week and though I’d like to dive right into my next project my best friend is flying into town next week which means I must run around like a maniac doing things like scrubbing baseboards and other stuff he’ll never notice in a million years. I’m driving my husband crazy but seriously after living together for two decades he should’ve known this was coming. I’m also editing the other stories I’ve finished and that’s both fun and frustrating.

Speaking of my best friend, I mentioned in a previous post that I had some concerning news about someone close to me and I wanted to update you. His name is Patrick and he’s a cancer survivor. On his most recent CAT scan, there was some concerning inflammation that required further tests. I’m happy to report that his cancer hasn’t returned as we all feared. He was diagnosed with mild ulcerative colitis which his doctor is confident can be controlled if he vastly improves his horrible diet. I’ve got an entire week with him to get on his case to be sure he does just that. So thanks for all your positive thoughts!

This one is a bit short...

Five weeks ago, I sprained my finger and unfortunately, the tears in my collateral ligaments are still healing. I’m back at the orthopedist at the end of the month to check on it and with some luck, I’ll get to stop wearing the straps anchoring it soon. As you can imagine, it’s limiting my time on the computer. But I'm squeezing in as much writing and editing as I can. It was great to finally return to the D’Vaire household with Scales and Stone, and we’ll be there again for the next edition to the series, which is a holiday story. In my Facebook group, I’ll reveal the first hint about what to expect from the D’Vaires and their loved ones tomorrow morning. Although I’d hoped to be finished with a book by now, I’m still plugging away at it. The characters are being patient with me, which I appreciate. Like Scales and Stone, it takes place at the D’Vaire mansion, and it’s been fun to hang out with some of my favorite people. At this point, I’m still paranoid about whether these

Catching up!

It’s been six months since I wrote a blog post. I didn’t intend to stop writing them for so long, but life got in the way. Between struggles with a lack of creativity and some minor medical issues, I’m trying to work my way back to writing daily. But I did finally finish a book! At the start of the year, I was burned out and wasn’t sure how to get my guys to talk to me again. I’ve mentioned before that I have OCD. I also struggle with depression. This year my doctor and I decided medication was a necessity. It has helped. So has balancing out my other health struggles and my ever-changing role as a spouse to someone with primary progressive multiple sclerosis and Sjogren’s syndrome. This time of year, I always try to send my editor my dates for the following year. I decided to commit myself to fewer releases in 2024. I’m going to put out five novels and a short story. The biggest change is that they won’t all be D’Vaire books. To find some inspiration, I had to take a huge step back

Twists and turns

Shadowy Illusions was a fun, but emotional project, and I'm thrilled that Amaury was so insistent on telling his story. He definitely deserves a happily ever after, and so do his mates. After spending a few months hanging out with the Gennevioses, I enjoyed them, but I was ready to move on. I’ve spoken several times now in my Facebook group about how many of the books this year contain characters that came into my head long before the D’Vaire series planted its roots in my brain. I'm not sure why they chose now to demand things, but I was happy to oblige. The next book is the last of those…at least for now, because I have a ton of old stories, and I certainly can’t predict who is going to jump in and request a story next. Unlike Matebond Dance and Deliciously Enchanted , where the stories paralleled their original tales, the couple coming next barely resemble their foundational characters. Their story has edged its way near the top of the list of books I love most. It featur
