Tory Temple's Blog

Hi all, sorry for the long-time radio silence. I’ve been making a big transition regarding my books and I’ve let some things fall by the wayside, including my site.

Quick update! I’ve been changing publishers! Dreamspinner Press will be the new home for the majority of my best-selling novels. However, this means that they’ll be unavailable in ebook form for several months. You can still find them in paperback at Amazon.

Keeping Karma will be the first one to get republished, so watch this space for more updates. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I’m very excited about my new publishing home. Thanks for the understanding and please feel free to ask any questions!

Psst! New snippet up at Slash and Burn. The third book in the Never Too Early series is due out in November!

You can read it over at Slash and Burn. Tor and Tucker have been waiting (not so) patiently for their turn, and they finally get the opportunity to speak in this third book.

And damn, they have a lot to say.

The amazing people over at Love Bytes Reviews have given us a 5 star review for Never Too Early: Finding Their Way! This means we’re up for Book of the Week! If you could take two minutes to click and vote, Chris and I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Vote for Never Too Early: Finding Their Way!

… working on the third book in the Never Too Early series with Chris. Yay! Many questions will be answered, we promise. Have a great Sunday, friends.

A few weeks ago, I asked my good friend and amazing author Keira Andrews if she’d like to do a fun interview for me. She graciously agreed, so I tried to give her some questions that were out of the norm. “Where do you get your inspiration?” can only be asked so many times, amirite?

1. What’s your favorite line from any movie?

“A life lived in fear is a life half lived.” From Strictly Ballroom, one of my fave movies ever.

2. Tell me about a unique or quirky habit of yours.

I like my beverages very cold. I’ll put Diet Coke, beer and milk in the freezer for a little while before I drink them. If they’re a bit frozen around the edges, that’s perfect. But for the record I don’t drink those three things at the same time!

3. Tell me something you hate doing. Why?

Laundry. It’s not that it’s hard, but it’s such a Sisyphean task. Not a big fan of doing dishes for the same reason. It never ends!

4. If I came to your home and looked in your refrigerator, what would I find?

Hmm, let’s see. Cheese, sour cream, sliced meat, kale, coleslaw, carrots, eggs and Diet Coke.

5. Describe your favorite pair of PJ’s.

I usually wear a big T-shirt to bed. I have a baby blue Captain America shirt that’s soft and a little bit too big. I practically live in it when I’m at home (which is most of the time since I’m lucky enough to work from my apartment).

6. Where would you not be caught dead?

I can’t think of anything. I have no shame!

 If there’s anyone who hasn’t yet read Keira’s gay Amish angst series yet, I HIGHLY recommend you do so.  Isaac and David are not to be missed.


A Forbidden Rumspringa
A Clean Break

Happy Easter weekend to those of you who celebrate! I myself do not, aside from consuming as many Peeps as I can find. No, I will spend the weekend (and the subsequent five days) abstaining from bread and bread products. Observing Passover is a surefire way to remind myself that I’m a Tribe member.

In any case, let’s celebrate the beginning of Spring with a little contest. There are less than two weeks until the release of the next installment in Chris Owen’s and my series, Never Too Early. Never Too Early: Finding Their Way is now available for preorder!
