The Snowbound ebook and tote bag giveaway is now over, and the winners have been contacted. This morning I mailed the prizes out to the five lucky winners. :)

Now that the giveaway is over and it's nearly time for my two-week Christmas break, I can focus on writing again.

I'm reworking the plot for the Nanowrimo 2013 novel that went horribly wrong. I've also got an idea in mind for another book. I think I will jot down both plotlines now so that I won't forget.

I'll keep you posted on the new books. And within the next few weeks, I'll start a page here for Maybe Baby, which I will release sometime in January. Be sure to add it to your Want to Read list. :)

My next novel--Maybe Baby--will soon be available! I've already set up a Goodreads page for it.

Hope you like the sound of Maybe Baby. If you do, please add it to your Want to Read list. :)

Will keep you posted with the final publication date.

After a busy week, I am glad to say that Maybe Baby is now available for Kindle, Kobo and in paperback. Hopefully, the Nook version will be available soon. It's taking forever to get it online there.

I'm also hard at work on two projects connected to Maybe Baby--Maybe Tonight and Maybe Tomorrow.

Maybe Tonight is--at the moment--an e-short that gives us a glimpse into Mads's life just before and just after he meets Laney. But here's the thing: this is just the beginning. Every few weeks, I'll be updating Maybe Tonight with new chapters, so it will grow to a full length-novel. So far, Maybe Tonight is only available for Kindle, but it'll be available for Kobo and Nook soon. And once the entire novel is complete, it'll be made available in paperback.

And then there's Maybe Tomorrow, the follow-up to Maybe Baby that follows Laney's cousin, Eddy, and what happens when she gets her own Danish surprise--not what she was anticipating, especially since she's moving back to New York. I'm nearly done writing my plot outline for Maybe Tomorrow and I hope to finish the first draft of it within the next few months.

Just wanted to let you know I've uploaded the first update to Maybe Tonight, the serial novella told from Mads's POV. It should be available by tomorrow or Sunday

You'll get three new chapters. I'm already working hard on the next instalment.

A few weeks ago, fellow writer and former expat Emily Breunig asked me if she could interview me for her blog. We ended up having a great chat session in which we talked about Maybe Baby, our characters, the expat life and a whole lot more.

One of the things we ended up talking about a lot was this idea of the disconnect and rootlessness a lot of expats feel. I've been an expat American for over twenty years now, so I can relate. I love the life I have here in Sweden. I sometimes miss my life in the US but I've been away so long that I feel like a tourist when I am there. It's disconcerting.

I think my character Laney feels a similar rootlessness. For her it is more pronounced: she has no family to go back to the US for--her mother is dead, her father abandoned her. Her only family now is her cousin Eddy, Eddy's mother and her Swedish boyfriend, Niklas. Is it any wonder she feels so confused about exploring the unknown? Well, that's for you to decide when you read Maybe Baby.

Emily and I have both written about the expat experience. Her novel, A Ghost at the Edge of the Sea, is out on submission and is represented by the Levine Greenberg Literary Agency. And while Maybe Baby deals with the game of love and an expat woman at a crossroads in her life, A Ghost... deals with ghosts, parallel universes and the afterlife in modern day Shanghai.

I can't wait for Emily's book to finally be published. Or maybe she'll take the plunge and go down the self-publishing road.

If you're following my serial novella, Maybe Tonight, you remember that KDP was giving me a lot of grief about when, once I'd added extra chapters, they would make the updated file available to readers.

For those of you who've been following Maybe Tonight, you know I began putting all the updated chapters on a blog.

Well, now Chapter Ten is online. Check it out. :)

For those of you following Mads's story in the serial novella Maybe Tonight, Chapter Eleven is now online. Head over to the Maybe Tonight blog to find out the latest of what's going on with Mads and Laney.

BTW... We're up to Chapter 14 now in Maybe Tonight. You can read the new chapter at http://maybetonightnovella.com.

Just a reminder, I will update the ebook files again once I have a few more chapters. Why? Because KDP and Kobo were screwing with me earlier about updating the files and when they'd alert people that updated files were available.

We're closing in on the final chapters for Maybe Tonight. On Sunday, I posted chapter Sixteen of Mads's story. Later this week, I'll be posting Chapter Seventeen and (possibly) Chapter Eighteen.

My plan is to end the story at Chapter Twenty. Once I reach the final chapter, the novella will remain online for a week and then I will remove it, compile all the remaining chapters and update the ebook files for Kobo and Kindle. And, just like I said from the very beginning, the price of the ebook will not change. It will remain 99 cents.

If you want to follow the story online, head to the Maybe Tonight blog.

We're close to the end of Maybe Tonight now. After this week, only one chapter left. Last week I posted Chapter Seventeen and this week Chapters Eighteen and Nineteen went online...

Once I post the final chapter next week, then the entire novella will remain online until the updated ebook file is available for Kindle and Kobo.
