What’s Been Happening?

Thanks so much for all your emails! Since I’m getting so many from readers asking about the several series I have at Ellora’s Cave, I thought I’d better post an update.

News!!!

Undercover Series:

There’s been a contract offer made on “Kiss Me” sequel to Peppermint Creek Inn! I’m in the process of ironing out the contract details and I’ll give you more news when everything is finalized. Book 3 “Intimate Stranger” is starting to be re-written into the erotic romance genre as we speak. *jan wiping sweat from her brow*

 Works-In-Progress!

The Hitman (previously titled A Hitman for Hannah) is being changed as we speak. I’m halfway through. *high five*

Heroes at Heart series - The 5^th and 6^th stories will most likely be combined into one book to be titled Captive Heroes. I’m merging the two outlines into one so I can start working on the final book in the Heroes at Heart series…you won’t be disappointed on the ending of this one!!!

Outlaw Lovers series - Book 5 and 6 will be on the back burner for a little while and may be combined into one book. Still debating on this for now.

Kidnap Fantasies series: ” Desperately Hot” - Beth and Sawyer’s story is also on the back burner for a little while.

“The Dark Side” - horror futuristic erotic romance - I’m venturing into the horror erotic romance genre on this one and working p/t on the outline. This is a scary one and keeps me spooked at night! It’s along the lines of the movie “Where Have All the People Gone” starring Peter Graves. Agent inquiries are welcome for The Dark Side.

Keep those emails coming!

Have a great day and take care!

Hugs,

jan

Me! lol  I finally broke down and got one. I must say they sure are addictive!

Here’s a pic of my garage/loft as promised. The inside is a big mess still so I will clean it up before posting pics.

Here’s me sitting beside a river near my place. I’m pondering whether I should go skinny dipping or not!

And my nephew graduated GR. 8 with HONORS and with awards in Math, French, Geography and History…he wasn’t expecting it in Math or French but was very happy to receive the awards anyway. We are all so proud of him. That’s our kitty Spunky who is my nephew’s best friend.

Okay I must hop off back to writing. Have a good one!

Hi guys!

jan, off to celebrate!

With the help of all my fantabulous proofers I’ve tweaked up my futurisitic erotic romance “A Hitman for Hannah” and sent it to Ellora’s Cave for their consideration. *me crossing my fingers they like it*

“Loverboy” will get a rewrite sometime down the road. Not sure when, but in the meantime I’m at Chapter 21 of Kiss Me. Wooot! I’ve considerably changed the plot in the last third of the book making the story stronger and hotter. *wink* *nudge*  I’m estimating another four to five chapters to go…wish me luck!
The sidings are almost completed on the garage/loft. Yeah! We have a friend doing the honors and it is looking very nice. Hopefully it won’t be too long before it is finished and I can start uploading pictures here. *grin*

In the meantime I hope you all are enjoying Spring. It’s been a nice one so far on my end. Lots of sunshine and warm days.

Wishing you all the best,

jan
