November news and personal thoughts.

Happy November! I hope you're having a great month. This one has flown by. I'm so not ready for the holidays this year, are you? November has been a fun month. I've been writing a sweet novella for an upcoming boxed set. My story is titled Cleaning Up Love. Not sure the name of the boxed set yet. It will release in March 2016. It's been fun writing sweet, I must admit. Though, it is hard not to use the bad words. Sometimes that feels a little unnatural to me, not having a man cuss. It's also hard to make the man alpha like, but I created a great guy, I think. He's a movie star who has gotten himself some bad press, and his house keeper Penny is helping him get out of that mess by being his fiancée. Yes, I know, not super original in plot, but I love fake fiancée and wife stories. And they are fun to write.

The Maddox Brothers has released and I'm so happy that in 2 days of release, it landed on several Amazon best seller lists! Yay!!! Go Hudson and Liam. It isn't currently in the top 100 anymore in the categories, but it's still doing very well. Ella and I are very proud of this book. Up next, it will be going to paper back. I can't wait to get this book in my hands.

If you've not grabbed a copy and want one, it's still $1.99. This is a limited-time offer and it will be going up in price in another week, I think.

AMAZON - NOOK - ITUNES - ALL ROMANCE

This has been an okay year. Yesterday I went over my sales of books spreadsheet, updating info. The year hasn't been as good as past years. It's been one of those years where I've really struggled as a writer to hold on at times. I am thankful for every one of my readers, and they are the reason I keep going. The books they ask for. I've been published 4 years now. It does bother me sometimes not to be a USA or NYT best selling author. I would love to have that above my name on book covers.

But I have to stop and look at all the things I have accomplished. When I got to my About Me page and see the books of mine that have been on Amazon lists and best sellers at All Romance, I have to just remind myself that these are great accomplishments. The book market has it's ups and down. Staying positive is hard sometimes.

Pushing forward. I'm not sure what I have in store for writing. It's not been my most creative year. Other than the sweet novella I am currently writing, I don't have anything else in the works. I don't typically write during December, taking the whole month off and then getting back to writing in January. I imagine the end of summer and fall will be my busy time again, like this past year.

Thank you to my readers for hanging in with me. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you have a delicious meal.

​See ya next month!
