This summer writing jam brought to you by coffee. Specifically, Nespresso. This apartment has a machine, and I’m seriously thinking about picking up this cutie when I get home.

If you follow me online, which, let’s face it, you probably don’t, you know I’m in Greece right now, trying to write like mad. And if anyone is listening – I am returning to Cable’s Bend! You may or may not have read Saving Grapes. If you didn’t, it doesn’t matter. Each Cable’s Bend book will be a stand-alone novel. Although events and characters do overlap and you get a bigger picture if you read them all. But again, it doesn’t matter!

So now I’m working on “Love Letters” – it’s a second chance, mature couple story. If you’ve only read Jake & Boo, you should know that Cable’s Bend is more straight up romance. No shifters or psychics, and pretty much everyone consumes coffee, beer, and pie in moderate amounts. Also, while there is a solid romantic relationship in Jake & Boo, all the sexy times happen off-page. That’s not the case in Cable’s Bend. Those folks like to get naked, and they like the readers to watch. So, yeah, there’s some steamy action going down!

Anyway, the writing is happening. The coffee is happening. Sexy times are happening. And if all goes well – super well – all y’all can go back to Cable’s Bend, too, by the end of the year!

The very near future, to be precise. I am off to Greece with my husband, where he will visit family and I will spend most of my days in an apartment on the outskirts of the city, overlooking the forest, the harbor, and writing up a storm. Pictures to come!

Doesn’t sound like much of a vacation to you? Oh, man, I can’t wait. No cats, no distractions, no house stuff that needs to be done. This is how I wrote most of Not a Werewolf and it was some of the most productive writing time of my life.

So, I’m hoping for great things! I have three projects in various states of “in the works”, so I will be able to keep things fresh. I am also taking knitting, because you kind of have to. Also, a 12-hour plane ride is in my future.
