Rolling rolling rolling

keep them doggies rolling...

rawhide...

Yeah, don't know why that's stuck in my head.  Maybe because things are rolling along pretty well here =)

ANYWAY.  Just wanted to do a little update-poo.

I am finally feeling 100% like myself again.  Still missing my grandfather but I'm past the worst of my grief and, well, I never want to stop missing him so that's okay.

I'm hard at work on Gabrielle's Discipline and I'm 90% sure that it will be out for pre-order by the end of May! YAY!  So I'm only going to be about 15 days behind where I wanted to be and that's pretty good.

Gabrielle is... well, let's just say I've never had a character make me cry so much.  I didn't mean for her to be so sad.  I keep having to remind myself that she's also still pretty selfish, not very nice, and doesn't have to act out the way that she does... but at the same time I just want to hug the crap out of her!  I cried all through the scene I wrote on Friday (looking forward to sending that to the beta readers tonight lol).  Of course, I'm a little more emotional lately anyway, but still.

RaineyCloud9 has done a gorgeous promo for me and I should have a cover reveal later this week!

I'm going to try to get another story done for Lit this month.  I'm trying to get at least one done a month.  None of what I'm writing there is going to be very plot heavy for a while though... things are too heavy in book world lol.  I need the Lit stories to be nice and light by contrast so that my brain doesn't explode ;)

And once I'm finally done with Gabrielle's Discipline, I'll be moving back to Stronghold for Andrew and Kate's story in Bound to the Past.  Which... is also going to be kind of emotional.  WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?! lol.  I'm really looking forward to it though.  This will be my first chance at second chance love!  Which, I usually don't enjoy books about second chance love all that much, so this is my challenge... writing one that I like lol.  I'm looking forward to getting back into Stronghold, as much fun as I've had in the Bridal Discipline world for a bit.

For those keeping track at home, Stronghold only has a few more books left!  Bound to the Past, Stripping the Sub, Tempting the Domme, and Hardcore Vanilla ;)  After that, I do have a novella quartet that I want to write in that world, but I don't know if I'm going to jump right into them or not.  As much as I love writing series, it does limit me on what I can write and I'd like to try writing in a different genre for a bit!  Maybe something in space...
