A Shadow Riders MC: Blue's Book ~ Manic Monday UPDATE!

Just an FYI! "Code Blue" picks up where "Inflamed" left off, with Blue and Snake ( who has come to pick him up from the wedding ) driving back home to Crescent Beach, while River spends time with Mia outside of the hospital for some honeymoon time. *Ahem* Now, it's not *required* to read "Inflamed" first, BUT, it might help to get acquainted with it in order to have a grip on the characters and the situations ( as well as dialog, language, etc. ) at hand. I write out of order and never manage to stick to my outlines unless I have full blown scenes written ( and even those will get cut from time to time if the story ends up flipping in a completely different direction, as it did with Inflamed and as I feel it will here ), and right now, I'm penning the prologue. This is where Blue meets Roxy for the first time and their first meeting is... intense , to say the least. I was surprised because I had two other prologues in my head for about a mo...

Tentative Writing Schedule for 2016

SO! These are the next books I am working on this year: Code Blue ~ A Shadow Riders MC The Wedding ~ A Miss Independent Novel (Book 5 ) Bound With You ( Written under my pen name, "Sasha" and final book in the Bound Serial ) I had planned to write at least two more following ( Styx's book, along with the final Miss Independent novel ), but when Inflamed got pushed back to March, I had to step back and look at what I was actually capable of finishing before 2017 ( this year is zipping by, good grief ). And I realized that penning one book at a time REALLY works wonders for me creatively as opposed to writing so many stories at once. I am able to concentrate so much better, get all my ducks in a row, focus harder on characterization and flesh out a more authentic world and setting.  When I rush, the results are awful and it shows in the writing and story. So in order to give you the reading experience you deserve, I need to focus one at a time instead of being sca...

FWIW: This is a Personal Note, so Please Read at Your Own Risk

I truly appreciate the passion many readers have for Inflamed - the title is very aptly named, I think. However ( and I never planned to do this and don't really ever plan to address something like this again in the future, but it's kind of getting to me personally and affecting my daily writing process for the next book ), I don't think I expected some of the more vitriolic messages I've received as a result of this book either. Now, I expected opposition to the story/characters/writing/setting/swearing before I was even halfway done with the book, so that's not what this is about. People are entitled to feel how they choose and once a book leaves my hands and is in yours, it's no longer something I "own". Truth be told, I really appreciate hearing all sides because it helps me to grow as an author, and this is where reader feedback comes in. But I think that a line of respect on both ends sort of needs to be drawn as well. I stay away from revi...
