Undercover Desires

At the moment I'm working on Undercover Desires. It's almost 30k, but once again, I find myself with a Titanic mental block. Oh, well. No doubt it will go. When? I don't have the foggiest.

Lust in the First Degree (The Andersons 4) has a release date of 18th November, which is almost a year since the release of Together Forever, the first in the Andersons series.

I honestly can't believe what I have achieved since April 2011 when I submitted my very first book Secret Eyes to Siren. The rejections from Mills and Boon are a distant memory now. I wonder if they are kicking themselves for rejecting not only Secret Eyes, but Together Forever and Animal Instincts. Probably not. Mills and Boon is a tough market to crack. Maybe, one day...

So what's next after Undercover Desires? Well, first off I think is the sequel to Secret Eyes. The title is Addiction. I keep getting ideas for chapters and my note book is stuffed full of them. I don't think I'm going to have a problem with Addiction.

Next, I think, will be Edge of Heaven.  That one maybe a bit trickier, but I'm sure a coffee and a chat with a very good friend of mine, Mark Ovens, will get that one written and submitted.

And then I plan to write another series. The Sins of Silver Creek. I have already written the first book! It was my very first book that I wrote, had it critiqued, edited it from suggestions made by a Mills and Boon editor (I kid you not) and now with a few tweaks here and there, and name changes for the characters, it's done. Yay!!

Lust in the First Degree

Following my stupid mistake when submitting to Siren but forgetting to attach the damned book, I resubmitted yesterday (Thursday 30th August) and today (31st) I received the acceptance email for publication. Yay. Happy dance! The tentative release date for the ebook is November 2012. The print version April 2013.
There might be a coincidence with its release date, because the first of the Andersons series - Together Forever - was released 18th November 2011. It will feel pretty special if the first and last of the series are released in the same month but a year apart. Fingers crossed.
