Apologies!
I know my words here have been few and far between for a little while now. Unfortunately, the schedule is so tight with writing, editing, promo...and family time, I find it difficult to schedule regular blogs too. It's no excuse really, and I'm going to try and do better, I promise!
Having said that, the family and I just spent the long weekend soaking in the sunshine. The weather was fantastic--hard to imagine we're still only in May!--so I took a much needed break and went out to play.
For us that means we hit the water and go boating. It's our favourite pastime. We also love to hike and bike and anything else that keeps us out of doors! And with a whole summer of great activities planned, I have a feeling I'm going to get a great tan. *grin*

Plodding Along
I've been editing for ... a while. I can't quite remember when I started. I'm not really sure how much longer it's going to take.
I do know that I still like this book. Actually, I like it quite a bit more now than I did before. I think that the changes I'm making are really enhancing character and depth, and it's exciting.
The other thing keeping me going is the awesome cover I got to peek at. It's not official, and I have been warned it's going to change, but I still like it, so I have it as my wallpaper on the laptop and I check it out every once in a while.
Oh, and I think we have a release date for Greta. December 2012. It seems so long, but with all the work I have to do on this, and book 2 ... and the other books on my plate for this year ... I'm sure it will be here in no time.
As soon as the edit is done, I'll post a snippet or two!
Talk soon!

An update
Edits are done for A Clockwork Christmas, the steampunk anthology that will be available in December from Carina Press. I'm excited because I've now had a chance to read the other stories, and let me tell you, you won't be able to pick a favourite. They're all SOOOO good!
PG Forte, Jenny Schwartz, Stacy Gail and I have formed a Facebook page so that we can share everything steampunk as we countdown to release day. I hope you'll come check it out. There's already some fabulous stuff there, but we'll also be using this page to let readers know about the blog tour we'll be embarking on as it comes closer to the holiday season. There'll be excerpts to read, prizes to be won, and lots more!
Also, I'm now moving into edits for my little short, RUN WOLF, due for release near the end of this year in the UK anthology by Hic Dragones which is tentatively titled Wolf Girls: Dark Tales of Teeth, Claws and Lycogyny.
AND...more edits. For my EC release, BRAZEN GAMES, which is also due for release late-2011.
Needless to say, this is going to be a busy few months. As busy as the year has been so far. I took a small vacation this summer but I'm thinking now I'll need another one, although I'm certain there won't be any time for that since I think there'll be more news coming down the pipe shortly....
But I'll have to hold that to my chest a little longer. I promise to share as soon as I can!
Take care everyone! I'll check in again soon :)

Quick Update
It's Monday! What better day to post an update and let you know what I'm doing.I just finished up a couple of short stories. They were so fun to write, and now that they've been submitted, I play the waiting game. One was a cool alternate China Steampunk thing, and the other was a bloody werewolf horror. Wish me luck!
Right now though, I have to finish a final read-through of my romantic fantasy, before I finally press send and get it out to a few people. Then I pray while I get back to work on my contemporary partial.
That should take me all week (I know, I'm so slow!) but THEN I'm going to be starting on Book 2 of my angel series for Carina Press. I really hope everyone ends up liking these stories as much as I do (excerpt coming soon, I hope).
Gabe and Amelia from book 1 feel so real to me, and their trials ripped my heart out. It was devastating to be finished with their story and have to leave them behind. But of course, Cass is going to be a challenge and I'll need to focus on him. He's skirting the edge of total evil and I'm not even sure yet if he'll make it.
So that's me for now!
What's everyone else working on these days?
