It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my Writing Plan… and NO! not because I haven’t been writing, but because I have been writing, and totally focused on When Darkness Falls. Book I: The Palace just came out on June 3rd; Book II: The Dark Lord is coming out this week, Thursday, June 17th, and Book III: The Prophecy is coming out July 1st. Also on July 1st I’ll release the boxed eBook set, When Darkness Falls: The Trilogy.You can find all the buy links here, as the books not yet released are available for pre-order 🙂

At the moment, I’m in the throes of the very last step, a read-thru on my Kindle of the 3rd book. Once that’s done (today! I’m on the last 2 chapters) that will head over to my Mac to get formatted in Vellum, and fini! Well, I mean, I still have to format it, but you know what I mean 🙂

In other news… I’ve gone WIDE! This means that my books are no longer exclusive to Amazon (and no longer in Kindle Unlimited). You can also buy them on Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Kobo. In addition, Amazon has also come out with hardbound book printing, so all of my books are also available as both paperback and hardbound on Amazon and Barnes & Noble! You can find the universal book links to all my books in the My Books section below.

For my next project, I’m taking a break from paranormal romance and heading back to Sons of the Desert, my multicultural contemporary romance series set in lovely Santa Barbara, California. I’ll be working on the third book, Michael’s Quest. You can read more about this series here.

The reasons for the change of genre/series are two-fold: 1) I really do want to finish this 4-book series; which, by the way, also has two possible spin-offs 😉  and 2) I’m planning a writing road-trip in the fall, where I’ll go to the Hudson Valley north of NYC. The Wishes & Dreams series is set here, and I’m thinking being there, driving about and spending some time there, will give me added inspiration!

Also, last but not least, please subscribe to my monthly newsletter and keep up on important news, previews, and cover reveals!
