Status Updates From Ashes to Ashes

She clapped her hands, all but bouncing on her heels as though her stepson had just given her a brand-new toy to play with. Which was accurate, because we were toys to them. ~Ash talking about Talia and Ant.

“You are an angel, L, but unfortunately, you’re in love with a devil.” ~Clara talking to L about Ash.

I already knew there were way more cons than pros, I was just willing to ignore them all to be with him. ~L thinking about Ash. #proofreading

Who is this about in Ashes to Ashes?:
When he says business, it’s always shady. He never used that word with legit jobs, always with illegal ones.

I have to speed up editing this as I will be having an op in the coming weeks, so will be out of commission for a wee while. I want to get things ready in time for September.

ASHES TO ASHES' next lot of edits are ready for my editor. Only two more lots left! Then I can finally publish this monster of a book (monster, as it's a large novel).

“Oh, you think Kara only put cameras in your room?” He laughed louder. “She kitted out your whole place! I get rather bored with home detention so I thought it would be entertaining to watch you. I was right.”

*Who said it and to who?

(From Ash's POV)
My phone started ringing, yanking my attention away from Joel. I answered it with a, “Kia ora, L,” noticing her number.
Crying came over the line, making me stiffen.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, now worried.
“He’s here, he’s here,” she cried.
“Who’s here?”
“Ant’s outside my office.”

I've just sent Part 4 of ASHES TO ASHES to my editor. I think there's about 7 parts, so I'm past half way!!! Now, I'm off to get Part 5 ready for next week.

Mrs. Connor placed her hands on her hips. “What did I tell you about swearing?”
“That I wuzn’t allowed to,” Sledge replied, “but if I don’t, Ash won’t fuck off.”

When I looked at him I knew without a doubt...

...he was my son, his dark eyes reflecting mine.

Taken from an unedited blurb at the back of Ashes to Ashes.

Dante doesn't know the meaning of the word 'politeness'.

While Ash doesn't know the meaning of the word 'protection'.

Now... guess how many kids Ash has and I'll tell you if you're correct.

BTW, I'd love to write EYE FOR AN EYE, which would be the sequel to ASHES TO ASHES. In THAT book you'll find out just how many kids Ash has.

I didn’t know how the two of us had fucked things up so badly. No, I did, the little girl in the next room. My baby with Beth had been the beginning of the end for my relationship with Tiana. ~Ash from ASHES TO ASHES. Yup, it doesn't look good for Ash and Tiana. But that's just like in real life, things like that can break couples up.

When your mind collapses, what can you do?

I watched her drive off, knowing she would never be my friend again, what we’d done destroying that. ~Ash Rata talking about L.

I wasn’t a sex kitten by any stretch of the imagination. I wasn’t anything, other than celibate and lonely. ~L (Dante's guitarist).

About Dante Rata's brother Ash. One word for this book: Provocative. The main characters so far are Ash and L. The other major characters are Kara and Tiana, as well as scenes with Dante, Clara, Jade, Angelo (Ash's 10 year-old son), Lily (Ash's baby daughter), Tane (Ash's dad) and Killer/Murderer/Pain, etc. Hunter might also be in there, not sure yet.
