Sometimes Life Gets In The Way
<= This is how I'm feeling right about now. I have so much going on in my life that my writing time has been shoved to the back burner at least until the end of this month...if not the next.
I'm still in the midst of our company changeover and getting more stressed with each passing day. I feel like I don't know what's happening any more. I'll be more than glad when the last bit of paper has been finalised.
Then the tax ma says I owe him money when I know full well I'm paid up... and waiting on tax time to roll around (June 30th) for the next financial year to start. I hate dealing with them... I see the letters ATO and get an instant headache.
Em is moving home while the hubs is out of the country. Just so I have an extra set of hands at home. that and her blood count was a little low (fingers crossed her ITP isn't about ready to make another reappearance).
So my writing is going to be slow for a bit while I play catch up. Hopefully I will get back on track soon... so I'm thanking you all in advance for bearing with me.

Prizes... Prizes... Prizes... Storming Love: Floods
Okay, I'm here today to share some information, which will lead you to prizes.
I'm going to tell you a bit behind the why of my story. I have lived through a couple of floods—one being a true horror.
For me I was lucky that a small rise in the road saved my suburb from disaster. The next town over (not even a minute down the road) copped the brunt of it and was classed as ground zero. Grantham basically got washed away—such death and destruction—both human, wildlife, and crops (we are a farming community known as the salad bowl).
The thing that stuck with me the most over the years is how something like a major flood, or any other natural disaster is how the community rallies afterward to get the place back to as normal as possible. Strangers working side by side—rich, poor, famous, everyday people all with the same goal in mind—clean up and rebuild.

STORMING
LOVE: FLOOD—Adrian & Lockie by N.J. Nielsen
Adrian
Clarke knows his life is a hot mess. This is only one of the reasons he boards
a plane and flies halfway around the world—so he can escape everything that's
determined to see him break. Lockie Rivers has worked his whole life on
Tenderfoot Downs. After his boss died, Lockie remained as caretaker for the new
owner—a man who'd never even set foot on the place. When circumstances bring
them face to face, a flash flood comes along to threaten their very existence.
Can virtual strangers work together to save their home, their hearts, and find
their own slice of heaven?

Hallowell was born and bred in Copper Creek. He knew what could happen during

a storm. Almost dying might be the best thing that ever happened to him.

together, but will it also bring them love?

STORMING
LOVE: FLOOD – Euan & Gregg by Pelaam
Euan
looks forward to spending time with his best friend, and unrequited love,
Gregg. But Gregg has a confession himself, he isn't the straight jock Euan
thinks. When the truth emerges, Euan learns of a side to his friend's life he
never imagined.
Just as
they find out the truth Mother Nature unleashes her fury and they're trapped on
a mountain during the flood.
Even if
they weather nature's storm, there is still a more personal fury to be faced.

STORMING
LOVE: FLOOD – Patric & Sam by Cherie Noel
Patric Carselowey
stole Samuel Touchet-Smith’s heart six years ago in an incendiary act of
passion. Then he disappeared, joining the Army without a word. When he
returned, treating Sam like stranger, he broke Sam’s heart. Now Sam’s meddling
Maman and sister have booked him a hiking tour with Patric as the guide. Caught
in the unexpected storm, will Sam’s wounded heart be healed during their race
to safety or crushed once and for all by lingering misunderstandings and lost
memories?
AUTHOR
BIOS
N.J. Nielsen: NJ needs to write like she needs to breathe. It’s
an addiction that she never intends to find a cure for. When you don’t find NJ
arguing with Vlad, her muse or writing about the wonderful men in her
stories, you’ll find her reading work by other authors she greatly
admires. NJ lives in the SE of Qld, Australia with her family who all
encourage her writing career even if she does occasionally call them by her
character’s names. NJ thinks that anyone taking the time to read her stuff
is totally awesome.
Jenn Dease: Jenn Dease is
a Chef with a reading and writing addiction. The six bookcases in her
bedroom are proof of this. She was born and raised in Pittsburgh with
one of those families that have four generations in a four
block radius. The Redheads, or her sisters, are the best things in
her life. When they want to be.
Jambrea Jo
Jones: Jambrea wanted to be the youngest romance
author published, but life impeded the dreams. She put her writing aside and
went to college briefly, then enlisted in the Air Force. After serving in the
military, she returned home to Indiana to start her family. A few years later,
she discovered yahoo groups and book reviews. There was no turning
back. She was bit by the writing bug.
She enjoys spending time with her
son when not writing and loves to receive reader feedback. She’s addicted to
the internet so feel free to email her anytime.
AC Katt: She
lives in New Mexico with her husband and new cat who, just as she does
loves paper and words. She got a late start to her writing career but is now in
a writing frenzy. Go figure!
Pelaam: Living
in clean, green New Zealand Pelaam is a multi-published author of m/m
romance and erotica. She’s loved writing since childhood and to become an
author is a cherished dream come true. She grew up reading fairy tales and
watching science fiction, horror and fantasy. When not writing she can be found
indulging in her other passions of cookery and wine appreciation.
Cherie
Noel: Cherie’s been in love with words since before she drew
breath, and doesn’t see that ever changing. She write stories, full stop.
Sometimes there’s music with them, sometimes they’re poems, and lately, to her
great delight, a plethora of M/M fiction and erotic romance.
Yum. Smexy man to the second…or third power…now that’s
the kinda math Cherie can get behind!!
The hair curls or frizzes
as it will, the eyes are green and tend to look in two different directions—no,
really—and the rest is subject to change. You know the guy who didn’t know if
he was a butterfly dreaming he was a man or a man dreaming he was a butterfly?
Yeah, that’s Cherie, but substitute drag queen for butterfly and wacky, wild
ex-Army chick for man.

Updates On Why I'm MIA For The Time Being
Things have been hectic in my life of late. due to my sister in law being ill I've been lending a hand at my brother's tattoo shop. at the same time I've been chauffeuring people to and from doctors appointments. tending to the kids and helping with both school work and uni assignments. Taking care of my mother, keeping up with the housework, cooking for the family, and clearing the yard of anything that may get blown around during a severe wind storm that is supposed to hit sometime this week (I bloody hope it doesn't). We are still in the midst of our construction company changeover, before we can start the new one in New Zealand. And I'm doing all this while still recovering from Bronchial asthma/flu... No wonder I'm so bloody tired all the time. To make everything fit together like a puzzle my writing world has been put on hold for the moment while I try and catch up with the two projects that are due.

Hollow's Trouble Update
I've rewritten the first two chapters on Hollow's Trouble and of course they are completely different to what I originally had, but at least they are done.
I'm hoping to still get this done and in on time. If I find problems I'll email and let the people at MMRomance know that I'm running behind on my DRitC.
I promise to keep you all updated on my progress because I know doing that will make me write faster.
