I finished Riding The Edge, my Wild Riders novella. Holy sheep that was a difficult book to write. Some are. Some just fall out of my brain easy. Others are like brain surgery…you have to dig around in there for a while to figure out what the problem is. (Now there’s a nice Monday visual for ya, huh? :giggle: )

But now that one book is finished, it’s time to start the next. No, I don’t get a break in between books. Sadly. My schedule is pretty full between now and May. I have a novella to write next, followed immediately by a single title.

Anyway, I have this list where I keep all the character names I’ve ever used (which hasn’t prevented me from reusing names. :doh: . I opened up my list this morning to add the book I just finished as well as the one I’m starting. And I realized that I’ll be starting my 46th book today. I sat back and looked at that number–46. I’ve written 45 books. I’m starting my 46th book. Wow. That’s a lot of books in a short period of time. Or at least it doesn’t seem to me like I’ve been writing all that long.

I started writing–seriously writing–in mid-2001. I received my first epublishing contract in 2003, and my first NY print publishing contract in 2005.

And today I’m starting my 46th book. In less than 8 years. Not bad.

I think I’ll celebrate that with a cookie. :giggle:

I’m done! Done done done!

I finished RIDING THE EDGE this morning, one of my Wild Riders stories. It’ll be a longer novella for an anthology that’ll release late next year.

I have to tell you this was a hard book to write. I don’t know if it’s because the storyline or characters were difficult, or because I started it in the midst of all the holiday preparations, but i feel like it took me FOR-EV-AH to write this freakin book.

But I wrapped it up by knocking out the last 5000 words this morning, so this baby is done. Done done done and I did the happy dance all over the house (yes, I look like an idiot when I do this, and no, I don’t care. :giggle: )

Now I’ll put it to bed for a few days to get it out of my mind. I have copyedits on another book that are due back to my publisher like…oh…right now. So I have to tackle those right away. Once those are done I’ll start editing Riding The Edge so I can get that turned in. Because I have another novella I need to start writing on like…oh…right now. Such is my life. :giggle:

But for now, happy dance with me! :boobie:

On Sale Now at Samhain Publishing!

Mitch Magruder, rich, successful, wildly popular surfer and entrepreneur, is always on the lookout for the next big wave or the next great deal. So when he’s home for the holidays, he jumps at the chance to build one of his famous hotels right on the white, sandy, Florida beach where he grew up. The only thing standing in his way is Greta Mason.

Divorced with two children, Greta welcomes the struggle to make ends meet at the ramshackle beachfront motel her father left her. The motel means everything to her, and no amount of money—or hot nights of persuasion—offered by gorgeous, sexy Mitch is going to change her mind. No matter how much his touch unravels her defenses.

For once, Mitch finds he’s the one doing the chasing, and Greta’s doing more than throwing a monkey wrench into his perfectly orchestrated world. She’s making him think about things he’s never considered before, things other than the pursuit of money. Things like settling down with right woman.

Now if only he can convince her he wants more than hot sex, moonlit nights, and her hotel…
