Spring Forward



Can you believe it's already time to spring our clocks forward? I don't know about y'all, but I've been ready for Spring for months! I've missed the colorful flowers and lush green leaves on the trees. I'm ready to break out some of my cute sandals and put away my clunky winter shoes! Woo Hoo!

It's been a busy week this week. My mother, Ashley and Snow White came over and spent a couple of days with us. It's amazing how fast my niece is growing! It was great having some quality time with them and as usual, time flies when we're all together. Lucky for us we'll be seeing them this coming Friday. We're all meeting at my Grandmother's house and spending the day with her. That will be a fun filled day for sure!

Unfortunately now, my husband Chris is sick. He's running a temperature and has a bad head cold. It must be going around because Ashley said that Snow White is sick, my mother-in-law is sick and I've read that Shayne is sick. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone to have a speedy recovery really soon!




I haven't had any time to write this week. Staring tomorrow (hopefully) I'll be working on my two projects. I'm continuing to work on Angel's Redemption which is Jack and Riley's story and I'm starting a new book tomorrow. I'm planning on submitting at least two Blue Collared themed books to Amber Quill Press within the next couple of months. I've been brainstorming the storyline with my sister and Jack and I think I've got a good handle on what I'm going to write.

Now all I have to do is get it written and submitted. Whew! I'm already tired!



I will have to take time out to read Shawn Lane's newest book, Only in his Dreams, tomorrow. This is the first book in her highly anticipated "Only" series and I can't wait to read it! It's going to be great!

I hope y'all have a great weekend!

Two out of the ten statements will be the truth about me.

2. I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas.

3. I met my husband Chris through a mutual friend of ours.

4. I lost my beloved dog Daisiemae a few months ago.

5. I love to watch sports.

Since just about everyone I follow has already done this list, I have no one to pick, but Jack to do this. It's up to him whether he wants to participate or not:)
I'll post my answers Monday night. Y'all have a great night!

My week so far...




I've read some really great books this week. If you haven't already, read From Afar by Ava March. It's a great Historical/Vampire/Gay story that's very fast paced and I loved it.


I also read Liquid Glass by Zathyn Priest and just like everything else he writes it was great!


I've done some writing of my own over the weekend. I'm currently working on two stories. One is about Sidney, who is Samuel's artistic/goth brother in A Realistic Romance. He's been really impatient to get his story told, but unfortunately for him, his partner to be is being strangely silent. I've been struggling with it some, but I know as soon as his partner starts talking it'll start flowing pretty easily.





The second story I've been working on is called Angel's Redemption. My friend and Shayne's partner, Jack, has been brainstorming this one with me. He loves a young man named Brent Corrigan and has wanted me to write something loosely based on him. As you can see he talked me into it!
For those who do not know who Brent Corrigan is, he is a popular gay porn superstar who has had a very interesting career in his young life.
So Riley is going to be quite a challenge to write. I plan on him being very redeemable and very lovable despite the mistakes he's made in the past. Of course, his future soul-mate and partner Jackson will have a lot to do with that.




Snow White has been sick. She's been running a low grade temperature and Ashley knows she is doomed to get it too! Chris has been working a lot of overtime to keep us a float. I'm just glad he really likes his job and doesn't seem to mind doing it that much. I've been looking for a job, but in Arkansas as in most places, they are few and far inbetween. I've put in several applications, and hopefully I'll be hearing something from someone soon!


In the meantime, I'll just write and enjoy what time I have left off.
