I've got some very exciting news to share. My book, No Greater Love is being translated into French! The release date is September 12th and I'm anxious to hopefully gain some new readers. I've also received a new cover which I'm totally in love with. He certainly makes a delicious looking Eros.

I've been working on several works in progress. I've got a Christmas story that I've signed up to write for eXtasy this year and I'm also working on a short short featuring my heroes from A Realistic Romance. It's been fun to revisit Merrick and Samuel and see where their lives are now.

I'm also working hard on the next Circle of Friends book. I have totally fallen in love with Tyler and Damarys and I hope when everything is said and done, you guys will love them too.

The next Men of Charlestown book is also in the works too. It's more angst than the previous books, so it's taking me longer than I hoped to write.

My next projects will be the next Kissed By and Sons of Aphrodite series books. I HOPE to get as much as I can completed before the year is up.

I hope everyone has had a happy Summer. Since I HATE the heat, I'm ready for some fall weather!

Love you!

Andi

 
OMG...how in the world can it be June?


I know you're shocked that I'm back.

To say it's been a while since I've blogged is an understatement. I hate that I've neglected doing it, but it's been a crazy year and I just haven't gotten around to it.

I'll work on doing better. I promise.

On the bright side...I am writing. I've discovered that I'm a slow writer. I wish I could write faster, but it's not me. I'm currently working on a few different books.

I am writing on the next Men of Charlestown book. It's titled Flowers for Him. I hope to have it finished within the next month or so.

I'm also writing a book called Color My World. Right now, it's been dominating my writer's muse, so it may be finished before Flowers for Him.

I'm about to start on my next Circle of Friends and Kissed by an Immortal book. I hope to get them done before winter. Also, I hope to write a Christmas story too...maybe...hopefully.

Have a great day.

*HUGS*

I am so excited! Kissed by Nemesis is now available through EXtasy books!! I admit I am very nervous about this book being released. It's been almost two years since I've published something new and my anxiety level is off the charts...ugh!

Here is the blurb:

Nemesis breaks the laws of fate to be with his forever mate, but will Jared be able to accept what he must do for them to have an eternal life together?  

Jared lived an ordinary life until the day he was kidnapped because of his twin brother’s evil deeds. Days later, he comes to the horrific conclusion he will not be saved. Just when he’s lost all hope, out of nowhere an ethereal looking man appears and Jared begins to believe this gorgeous creature just might be his salvation after all. Nemesis has one job to do. He must follow the laws of fate and sit in judgement of mortals. When Nemesis is called to witness the dire circumstances surrounding Jared because of his brother’s cruel choices, he is surprised when the helpless mortal can see and talk to him. Instinctively knowing Jared is his forever mate, Nemesis breaks the laws of fate and saves Jared’s life, in turn threatening his own existence. Only Jared’s unconditional love and acceptance will seal their destiny together, but will his mortal be able to face the harsh judgement of what’s to come?

Thank you for looking!!

I'm so excited! Kissed by Nemesis will be released on September 15th!!

I would like to say that this could be read as a stand-alone book in the series, but I do highly suggest reading the first book, Kissed by Death before reading this one. Nemesis plays a pretty large part in Thanatos and Gregory's book as well as the other brothers who will have their own stories to come.

*HUGS*  I hope everyone has a great week ahead!!

I have cover art! I'm thrilled with the way it turned out and I'm getting more and more anxious for this book to be released.  As you know, this is the first book I've completed in a long while and I truly hope that y'all love Nemesis and Jared as much as I do!

I'm not afraid to reveal that it's been a long year. In some ways it's been a good one and in many ways it hasn't been that great. On the negative side, we are still dealing with the sudden death of my brother-in-law. Between his death and the consequences of being a victim of a vehicular manslaughter has brought much heartache to my family. We are still waiting for the woman to go to trial for hitting him and hopefully, we will before the year is over. I personally believe it won't happen until after the holidays are over, but we will see.

On the positive side, I've discovered a lot of things this year. I've made many supportive friends and enjoyed putting myself back out there again. This is not an easy thing for me to do because I'm basically an introvert and I've been burned many times before, but I've learned that nothing ventured is nothing gained, right?

Also, I am finally getting my writing published again. I'm thrilled to see my books being read and enjoyed by many readers. It has given me the drive to continue to do what I love...and that is write. I will have a new book published soon and I'm working hard on the next Men of Charlestown book, Flowers for Him. I hope to have at least two to four books finished by the years end, so please keep your fingers crossed for me.

The picture above is of me and my beloved niece Snow White. It's a pretty recent pic and as you can tell I adore the ground that baby walks on! This year she started third grade and I am so proud of her!! Here is a picture of her on her first day of school this year:

It's amazing to see how much she's growing up. She loves to read and told me the other day she wants to write a books just like I do...isn't that the coolest?

We spent my birthday at with my family at the lake and had a blast. It was good to be surrounded by people who love me and who I love. As usual, time flies when you're having fun and our weekend together was way too short. BUT I loved it and look forward to making many more happy memories together in the years to come.

While I was at the lake His Christmas Wish was rereleased through eXtasy books! I'm so thrilled and I hope that those to chose to buy it will enjoy it as much as I did writing it.



So after much reflection, after having the year I've had I've realized it's basically been a good one. I'm actually ready to see it go and I'm anxious to see what the next year for me will bring. Thank you all for taking this amazing ride with me.  *HUGS*

I'm thrilled to announce that Kissed by Nemesis will be released on September 1st!! I'm so excited about this release! It's the first completed book I've finished in a long time. I fell in love with my heroes, Jared and Nemesis, and I hope you will too.

His Christmas Wish will be re-released on August 15!! I'm so thrilled to have received a lot of positive emails from people telling me how much they missed these characters and how glad they are back out there. I am too.  As you can tell by the pictures above, Sasha has been helping me write. We are currently writing on the next Men of Charlestown book *hope to have it finished by the end of the month* and a stand-alone book that's been plaguing me for a long time. Sasha is a good supervisor and he keeps me on my toes...lol!
 

The past couple of weeks have been very busy ones for me. Last week, my grandmother turned 87 and we had a nice birthday party for her. We've been busy this summer visiting family and although it's been a HOT season, we've had a good one.

Today is a very happy day for me! My book, Yummy Indulgences is not available through extasy books!! I'm so happy to have this book re-released and through such an amazing publishing company.

Here is the blurb for Yummy Indulgences:

Sparks fly when blue collared worker Allen meets Shiloh the baker, but as their relationship becomes serious, will they be able to handle the heat?


 What should have been just another day, ended up changing Allen Garner’s life forever. He’d just finished the night shift as a supervisor at the rendering plant, when his sister gives him a frantic call asking him for a favor to meet with the local baker, Shiloh Ballard, and pick out his parent’s fortieth wedding anniversary cake. Reluctantly roped into doing this chore, when all he wants to do is go home and sleep, Allen is surprised and immediately enchanted by the beautiful baker the moment he lays eyes on him.
   
  Shiloh can’t believe a strong, masculine man like Allen would ever be interested in a rainbow flying, petite baker like himself. Immediately sparks fly between them and they are swept up into a whirlwind romance which soon turns into a deep love neither man expected. But there is one problem.  Allen hasn’t revealed his sexuality at work and because of this, their relationship must be kept a secret, causing both men to wonder if their relationship is strong enough to survive living together as a couple out and proud.


Thanks for checking it out. I truly love this book and this series and I am so thrilled about it being released!!

I did it! I finished Kissed by Nemesis!! It is the first book I've successfully completed in almost two years. I am so happy I was able to work through my writer's block and thanks to my characters the story went pretty smoothly. They had a good story to tell.

I've sent it off to my editor so now the waiting begins. I hate this part. Ugh!

There will be three more books in the Kissed by an Immortal series. I'm really anxious to write the third book in the series, Kissed by Keres and hope to have it done by the end of the year. I've started the next book in the Men of Charlestown series and there is another book Color My World that I'm currently working on now. I'm also going to try and squeeze a Christmas story in there somewhere too. So if things go the way I plan...by the end of the year I hope to have four more books done.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Now, I'm off to stalk my email....ugh.

I am so tired and as you can tell by the picture above, Sasha my four-legged son, is exhausted too. He's with me every step I take and supervises me while I write, cook and everything in between. I love him so much, I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. He is my sweet boy.

Between working hard at finishing my book and running back and forth to Little Rock *which is 2 hours away* this girl is exhausted. I attempted to write tonight, but when I found I kept repeating myself and having to continuously go back and fix things, I knew it was time for a break. Plus, by the look of my son *See Picture Above* he is ready for me to take a break too.

So I decided to walk away from it for one night.

I am SOOOO close to being done, so I should still achieve my goal of finishing Kissed By Nemesis today or tomorrow.  Is it okay to say that I really love the two heroes in my book? Jared and Nemesis really work hard at making their relationship a successful and happy one. I liked them both and loved the story they had me tell. I'm very excited to see if you guys will love them like I do too.

Another fantastic thing that's happened this week is that Kissed by Death has been read and reviewed by several review sites AND they really liked the story! This is an oddity for me because I NEVER get reviewed so I am so thrilled and appreciative to anyone who takes time out of their valuable day to read and review my book. It really makes all of the hard work worth it and it totally makes my day.

So, I hope to actually finish my book and do some darn laundry around here soon. I keep hoping the laundry fairy will come and do it all while I'm asleep, but alas she never does. I guess she's to busy having a blast at the beach, drinking Strawberry Daiquiris and hanging out with hot men...lucky girl!

I think Sasha and I need a vacation.

Have a great day:)  See you soon.  *HUGS*
