misslj_authorIt feels like forever since I've posted anything. That's due to the fact I've been very sick. I'm starting to recover, slowly, but I still find myself getting worn out very easily and still feel a bit "flat," for want of a better word. Ten days after my night in the emergency room in hospital, I *still* have a large blood bruise on my left arm from where they took blood. Apparently, I now bruise easily. At least the bruises from the tattoo have faded - though that took about two weeks!
Anyhoodle, No Surrender, No Retreat has been out for about a month now. It's a book I'm really happy with, and I adore the cover that Anne Cain did for me. Book three, No Shadows Fall, will be out before the end of the year.
I've been taking a break from writing Archangels - when I've not been sick - to write other things. I've finished a long novella for a sekrit project for one, and I have a plan, which is more or less set in stone, barring more illness and I hope there's no more of that because I am SO over being sick. September and October will be spent writing the last third of Deliverance, which is an AU contemporary m/m, and doing some more on the sequel to City of Gold, which is City of Jade. I don't imagine Jade will be finished by the end of October, because there is so much I need to research as I go, and that takes time. But I'm determined to make more progress, even if it's only one more chapter. Then in November, as part of NanoWriMo, I'll write book four of the Archangels, which I actually have a title for! It's The Wind-Up Forest and the plot veers away from fallen angels and demons and megolomaniac people. Which is all I'll say for now!
I'm looking forward to my 40th, which is September 23rd. Myself and three close friends and my mum are doing a day trip up to the Barossa Valley. Wines, cheeses, fresh produce and Maggie Beers' chocolate and salted caramel icecream are my plans for that day. Also a visit to the giant rocking horse, the whispering wall and Tanunda, which is an awesome town in the Barossa Valley. I'll take lots of photos!
Finally, for anyone who's interested in participating or bookmarking in their calender to read along, I'll be participating in the Romance Reviews GBLT Madness Blog Hop. I'll be talking about No Surrender, No Retreat.
Hope you guys are all doing better than I have been the last several weeks. I'm so glad it's Spring on Saturday.
Oh, and if you're interested in following/friending me over on Facebook, you can find me right here.

Date: Fri, Aug. 31st, 2012 05:32 pm (UTC)I'd like to do a novel-length addition to the universe of Temple, Caleb and Agni (points to icon) but that requires tons of research into the 1930's and specifically 1930's Pittsburgh PA which is harder than it should be. I have two for-work research projects going on that are consuming my time so it might be too much for me.
If not that, then I have two others burning in my mind right now, one that's UF with two twenty-somethings in a demon hunting college in Pittsburgh and one just happens to be half demon or a fantasy world with murder plots afoot.
