Hi, everyone! I have a lot of exciting stuff going on. I’ll begin with what I’m working on at the moment. Then I’ll share the BookFunnel Promo I’m in this month. After that, I’ll share the YouTube and Rumble links where you can listen to Tagalong Bride. Ready for a long post? Here we go. 🙂

I am done with the first draft of The Hero Least Likely

This is Book 2 in the Love Under Desert Skies Series.

This is Book 1 in the Marriage by Chemistry Series.

The hero and heroine are just about to find out who the other is. In case you don’t know, the hero is an actor who rejected an aspiring playwright’s work. The playwright is really the heroine. She is pissed off at this “actor” but is completely in love with the hero. It’ll be fun when she finds out he is the actor and he learns she is the playwright. Sparks are going to fly. Those sparks won’t be good for them, but they’ll be good for those of us who enjoy tension and conflict within a relationship. Don’t worry. This is a romance. There will be a happy ending for these two, though I don’t know how the hero is going to make things up to her yet.

I think we are looking at July for this one to be out, but I’ll know for sure as we get closer to the release date.

I made a good start in The Preacher’s Wife

This is Book 2 in the Oregon Series.

I think I got a good handle on the preacher now from Book 1 in this series. His backstory was vague before, and I had to figure out why he was so eager to marry Corrine and to take on the role of helping her family. Now that I have it, I have the conflict that will be at play for this book. Most of the time, I start a story without knowing much of anything about the plot. I wing it as I go along. It’s more fun this way. I like being surprised.

I’m expecting to get this out before the end of the year, but I have a holiday series (Regency) that will cover Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine. Since the holiday books will be the priority, I might end up shoving this off to 2026. We’ll have to see how things go. The writing isn’t necessarily slow, but these books I’m writing these days are longer than I expect when I start them. I refuse to rush a story to get it done. I want to honor your time by giving you the best I can.

Now for the BookFunnel Promo!

This month, I have two books I put into the March Free Historical Romance BookFunnel promotion.

One is a Regency, and the other is a historical western. I know some people prefer the Regency and others a historical western. So I thought I’d do one of each.

For the Regency, I picked out The Rake’s Vow.

I had someone request a romance where the hero has a broken past and the heroine makes him whole with her love. The heroine is a virgin. The hero used to be a rake, so he isn’t. However, he is reformed and has taken a vow of celibacy. Given that this is a romance, and I write spicy content, we all know there’s going to be some spice.

For the historical western, I picked The Convenient Mail Order Bride.

Someone else requested a mail-order bride story. The hero and heroine in this one are both virgins. The hero’s half-brother posts the mail-order bride ad on the hero’s behalf–something the hero did NOT want. When the heroine shows up, the hero doesn’t know what to do with her. This is a spicy book. There are a couple of sex scenes.

I am using YouTube and Rumble again

I finally figured out how to use the programs on my computer to cheaply and easily make videos to post on YouTube and Rumble. I want to see my books put into audio format in many places. I already have all of them in audio on Google Play using digital narration. I have a couple of them across all retailers with a human narrator. (I could not afford to keep paying her, unfortunately, though she was top notch.) I have my newer books on Apple in digital form since they are allowing it Draft2Digital (the place I upload to for this perk).

YouTube and Rumble will be two more places I can use now that I know how to get this done. I am not worrying about making “professional” files. I am simply reading the book. Right now, I am working on Tagalong Bride.

After this is done, I will read Eye of the Beholder since most people seem to like that one. Tagalong Bride was requested, so I chose this to do first. If there is a book you’d like me to put on YouTube and Rumble, just let me know, and I’ll put it on my list.

The days I have new chapters coming out are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I need to space these out so I have time to work on them.

That’s it for now. I hope everyone has a great March!
