My languishing “to-read” pile…

This is really getting ridiculous. Behold, the “to-read” pile growing beside my bed…

That is not even including the books I’ve downloaded by Fallon Blake, Allegra Gray, and Cris Anson. And see that lovely bag of buttons there? Those were taken from the collection of my late mother-in-law to anchor the origami strings of a Senbazuru, or collection of one thousand cranes. I intended to create the Senbazuru to celebrate the upcoming release of Fortune, which is my most favorite novel I’ve written to date. So far I’ve folded about 35.

Alas, I blame my readers. I always want to be writing more and more and more books for them because they’ve been so supportive. I’m almost done re-editing Owning Wednesday, the first book I ever wrote, in order to release it in a more polished form. I am really excited about what I’ve done so far… I’ve expanded all the sex scenes (YEAH!) and added some all new and very hot sex scenes too! I’ve fixed some of the confusing timeline issues and firmed up the characters.

Next, I’ll start working on my historical, which I’ve been calling Lilyvale. That name may change. It’s 99 percent done and I love the story. I love the hero and heroine. I still have a few more questions about it to answer for myself before I turn it into my editor, but it’s on the way.

I’ve also started a new book called Caressa’s Knees. It’s kind of in that magical, anything-is-possible stage where I know the characters and I know how I want them to relate to each other, but I’m not sure where they’ll end up. It’s really exciting.

So for now, the to-read pile continues to grow. If you are one of the authors in my to-read pile, I promise I am anxious to read you. I promise I will get to you soon!!
