Shelly Alexander Yes! I'm staring Oz's story now, and I'm so excited about it. I'm hoping to release it later this year so stay tuned!!!! And thanks for your patience.
Shelly Alexander Hi James! I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to answer your question. I never got a notice that there was a question waiting for me. (Or if I did, it must've slipped into my spam folder.) Anyway, YES!!!! I'm finishing the Checkmate series. I've gotten a little behind on my publishing schedule because of a new series my publisher wanted me to write. (It comes out next month titled DARE ME ONCE and if you click the book link on the next page, there is a 100 book giveaway going on for it on Goodreads.) Anyway, I'm starting Oz's story (SINFUL GAMES) right now and I'm hoping to release it later this year. So stay tuned, and thanks for your patience!!!!
Shelly Alexander Hi Lani! Thanks for asking. Yes, there will be two more books in the Red River series. Langston and Dylan will both get their stories just as soon as I can write them. I'm currently working on the first 2 books in a new small town series set on the Oregon coast. As soon as I'm done with those, I will write Oz's story for my Checkmate Inc series because I've promised my readers of that erotic series and I'm actually behind on that publishing schedule. So stay tuned and I promise to get Red River's next steamy story out as quickly as I can. If you'd like to follow my FB author page, there will be more updates there. Because I'd like to ask my followers if they'd like to see a Christmas book set in Red River. What say you?
Shelly Alexander Take a break, take a deep breath, and read lots of books on my 'to-be-read' shelf and watch lots of good movies. Works every time. Cheesecake doesn't hurt either.
Shelly Alexander I love dreaming up love stories, creating new characters, getting them to say and do things I'd never do myself. It's fantastic!
Shelly Alexander Write, write, write! It's never too late to start, but you HAVE TO START! It doesn't matter how bad you think it is. You have to start somewhere, and you'll get better with practice. For a writer, practice equates to more writing! Just start and don't stop.
Shelly Alexander I'm working on the third installment of my Red River Valley series.
Shelly Alexander I get inspired by reading. Anything and everything I can get my hands on. But I particularly like to read and watch funny books, movies and sitcoms.
Shelly Alexander Many romance novelists struggle with the decision of writing under a pen name or their own name. I thought it would be comical for my heroine to write a steamy erotica novel and then watch the reaction of the people in her small town when none of them know she's the author!
