End Of Week Report

For once I'm right on track. I feel pretty good about where I'm now heading.

Do you know how strange it is when you have to read your own work just because you can't remember what the hell the story is about. After a year I've been re reading all of my works especially for the books I'm working on now... Some parts make me cringe, but I know I'm getting better with each and every story that I write.

At least the cramps in my arms have stopped, and hopefully like when I constantly wrote before, I'll get faster with each passing day.

I never did find the mouse to the house computer, so in the end I went and bought another one. So I got a cheap one because I know I'll eventually find my good one. The problem is the new one is bloody pink. It's the last time I let Emily choose for me.

From here on out I'll only blog Monday to Friday, because I'm trying not to spend to much time on the computer during the weekend. I'm trying to keep my weekend for family and pets.

Some Oldies But Goodies

What's Going On #4

These are books that are in my WIPs list, but I haven't yet decided where I'll be submitting these to─but I guess I'll figure it out when I get there.

Admetus Gaea: Yes I wrote and published this through Silver publishing, but have since pulled it apart and when I re submit it will be the same story line, but will be less cluttered... if that makes sense. #1 Zadyn & Jarkebb, #2 Raeligh & Coen, & #3 Grayson & Jondalar. there will also be more books in this series but I'm still working them out.

The rest are still only ideas and will come to light when it's their time:

Flagstone Creek
Guardian of the Dragon Born: Cullen Arinan
Inner City Pack
Mountain Made
Outside the Safety Zone
Quaide's Crossing
SPAM Inc.
Taking Chances
The Brothers McCrieve
The Core

And if I can work it in another Bush Bashin' story for Cinders.

What's Going On #3

I'm lucky to have such great publishers who accept the often crazy-arsed paths my mind take while writing.

Hidden Hearts: There are only two more books to come in this series #3 is a friend of the families's story, &#4 is Macen's story. I'mm looking forward to writing these two, but will have to wait until they come on the roster. I wish I could write them all at the same time, but I'm limiting myself to 3 books at a time.

Moon Runners: This has been a series that always seemed to get pushed to the back-burner, but not anymore. I'm determined to let these characters reach the light of day. # 3 Marcus & Kaleb carries on from the first where our pack is protecting those who need it against an enemy they can't quite figure out who is coming after them. The Moon Runner Pack has to change with all that's heading their way.

The Diamond Rose: I'm still struggling with this one. I know as soon as I get my head around the probably non-existent (all except to me) it will start to flow quickly. I'm also still deciding just who's stories to tell as there are so many characters I could go with. I'm also figuring out if there are other worlds out their besides the one discovered in #1.

The Freedomers: If the truth be told, I'm kind of freaking out over this one because I've never written MF before and I so don't want to suck at it, and I have to figure out how to write the MM & MF as a cohesive whole back story, but make it so if you don't like MF you can just read the other four stories and still know what's going on... Though for the life of me I don't understand why you wouldn't want to read the whole series.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

27 today

I swear, Emily, it wouldn't let me play Bullet

What's Going On #2

I'm lucky my publishers have all been wonderful & understanding over my train wreck of a 2016.

Destiny House: This will be a spin off series I'm starting which will be coming this year (6 books in all). In essence it's a spin off from my The Connelly Chronicles series. The characters from TCC won't be main characters, but will be floating around in the background stories. I want to tell the stories of the young men who come to reside at the refuge GG set up.

The Connelly Chronicles: I love this series and can't wait to start writing it again. Originally I had planned 5 books, but in my year away I came up with a story for one last book, so now there will be 6 I'll have this whole series finished by the end of 2018 because I want to not let too much time to pass between each writing. #3  Dan & Nate, #4 Declan & Sean, #5 Jamie & Bear, #6 Ben & ??? (I'm still thinking).

Wardens of the Guild: I'm still figuring out where I'm heading with this series. I have so many ideas, but not sure which direction I should take to get to my end place. I know #2 is about Eric & Murtagh, but after that I'm still a little hazy.

What's Going On #1

I have most of my books through MLRPress, they were the first publishing company to take a chance on me, and I'll be forever grateful to Laura and the team. Over the next 3 years I plan on finishing: 

The Lines of Marsden (up to Book 6): We'll follow Michael and his ever-changing family before hand of the story to the next generation. This story takes up a large part of my heart, and yes Doyle is still my favourite character for the first Line. the more I write these books the more I love unravelling the secrets of their lives.

Experimentals: Another story I wrote by accident. Originally it was supposed to be part of the Mixed Tape anthology, but as per usual with me the story line took off and in the end it had nothing to do with 80's music. Never-the-less it is a story that I really enjoyed writing & can't wait to explore more in the lives of the characters within.

Intended Mates: This is still a new concept to me. I'm still trying to figure out who is who, and where they fit within the story line. pardon the pun─I wasn't even intending to write this story, but when my editor pitched it to me I couldn't help but jump on board. I'll have to do some more planing on this one before I can share, because I can't tell you what I myself haven't figured out.

Lancaster's Way: I should have this series finished by the end of July this year. I know I have been promising to pull my finger out and get it done─now that I'm writing again it's time to make true on that promise. #3 is Chet & Grady, #4 is Kelly Mac & (I'm still deciding), & #5 we visit Riley's family in Australia.

Pack Matters & Watson Falls: Here I'm hoping to tell of the beginning background story (or prequels if you will) to Sons of Evenmore: This is another series I've been lax on and for that I apologise, but I promise to make up for this over the next 3 years. Hopefully I'll tie up all the lose ends.

Toowoomba Boys:  #1 of this series was the first story I ever had released and by the time we get to #7 we'll have come full circle. and have come back to Angelo & Marlowe. I know the wait will be worth it in the end.
