Cue Pomp and Circumstance Please

So my life had been a whirlwind within a whirlwind.  I've been writing up a storm but haven't been able to go back and do any editing. Its been driving me crazy, especially since I had hoped to have chapters 8 and 9 out for Finders Keepers. Thanks for bearing with me.

Graduation is just 8 days away and I finally had to pull things back a bit and just enjoy the moments.  And indeed I am having a lot of great moments!!  I look forward to addressing my fellow graduates in a week and for the first time in my life I have to keep it under 5 minutes!!! Lord give me strength.

Many of you know I had released #SatinHighlands early, wasn't supposed to come out until May 15th but everything had fallen into place and I let it go.  I enjoyed revisiting the actual places I had been to while in Europe and I hope to not let to much time pass before I visit again.  I don't think my passport will ever get dusty.

I've finally recovered from not being able to make it to Kansas City for the Romantic Times Convention. Next year!!!  It was good to see the tweets and FB updates on the events.  So much happening, I am glad I have someone helping me keep up and organize my schedule.

Went to a lovely wedding last weekend and I am still glowing from it! I had such a great time I wish we were doing it again this weekend! I'm such a romantic, I am pitiful and there is no hope for me. The smile has become permanent.

Okay let me get back to Mark and Monique because one of my favorite authors has a new book out and I have got to get my hands on it!!
Happy Reading!!!

I didn't mean to...honestly I didn't!!

It truly did not set out to write stories that were interconnected.  I really didn't.  I started having so much fun creating the supporting characters, some of them warranted stories of their own.  Now that Satin Highlands is out, and can stand alone, I will move a little more quickly when the next four books to not keep everyone hanging too long.  I indeed understand when I wait for books from some of my favorite authors.

In Seductive Satin I'll bring back my favorite FBI Peter Grambling and will finally deal with the the villain John Kennedy once and for all.  So many of you have expressed wanting to see him get his come upins. 

Will I tell Corinne and Angus' love story?  As of right now the answer is no.  My main focus will be to give you Marcas and Krya story and then bring you what's going on with the secretive Sydney, where I'll bring back Eric and Daila to help their friend.

Okay vacation time. Happy Reading!!!

And we're off...

I've been enjoying my vacation and it's a little funny how when you're supposed to be resting you're actually busy.  I finished the outline for Finders Keepers and I hope to release the next four chapters soon.  Mark and Monique have been a pleasure and because I'm doing this mostly for my Fictionpress peeps I have been having a lot of fun.  No pressure, no deadlines, just creativity.  Not that my other works aren't creative too but there is something about different about making mud pies versus real pies.  I know most of you'll will be like "Leichelle you can't eat mud pies at least with a real pie you can eat it."  Yea I get it and I understand but when making mud pie, its always perfect whether you follow the recipe or not.  Not going to happen if you want to make an edible pie.  Enough of that or I'll fall of my weight loss wagon.

Recently I've been working toward reading through the works of all who follow me on Twitter. Its a challenge, especially if they've written more that one book and I want to get through my "small" list before it grows! There are so many awesome writers out there! I strive to make each subsequent story I write better than the last to keep up with the amazing company of individuals I find myself in. I am humbled each time I turn a page.

Alas you girl still hasn't decided on whether or not to get a Kindle or Nook.  I was even considering getting a iPad but I'm so not motivated by technology right now.  I still like going to the story and trying things on.  Of course once I get rid of my extra natural padding I'm really going to have a good time.

The exercising is going great.  I really like Zumba, I may not get all the moves down but I do move and shaking my groove thang has never been a problem!  Okay time to go tackle a hard assignment, "What's for dinner?"

Happy Reading!!

Wish I Could Give Everyone 6 Stars!

While I'm in copy-editing mode I've been enjoying reading the works of the authors who follow me on Twitter. You know its a good, great story when you tell  yourself only one chapter and read two, you talk to and fuss at the characters, you laugh (out loud), tear up or cry, jump up and down and cheer, throw the book across the room (or slam closed the laptop) and then retrieve it so you can see what happens next. I'd "@" all followers if I could but I'm not wanting to type any more, I need to get back to reading!
