Trindie Books: August 20th  How Much You Want to Bet? will be the book of the day.  Sept. 5 See Lynne Chased will be the book of the day.


Ooook. I believe that is all so far. Like I said, I'll keep ya updated.

Save the Date: May 11, 2012

Lynne's story has been in the works for years. Eons, more like it. (Ok. Ok. 2009) She first showed up as Megan's bestie (2007). Snarky and with secrets. Now see I don't usually write series. Or I didn't. So I didn't think much of writing Lynne's story. Until I re-watched You've Got Mail. Around the same time I watched Gone With the Wind. And because my brain is bent, a story came together.

See, Lynne had been after Megan to sell her the Boutique, a clothing store. (Yeah, I know a creative name. My brain is bent, not original.) My mind started thinking, what if Megan did sell the store to Lynne. She trusts her to take care of the business started from heartbreak. Really, Lynne would be the only person she'd sell it to. She'll start her own business closer to home i.e. Aiden Blake. (And make a nice piece of change. Megan is business-minded after all.) And what if, Lynne finally gets her hands on the Boutique. Sees a grand future in the works and someone comes along to rip it out of her grasp. Of course, since this is a contemporary romance, the person to rip the store out of her grasp is the hero.

So, this book is three years in the making. And finally it's, sort of, here. It'll make it's debut on May 11th To tide you over here's the blurb:

Nathan Craine eats small businesses for breakfast. There's one store he is dying to buy, but this time it is for very personal reasons. He's certain the owner will hand over the store; it's only the matter of naming a price. To his surprise, Lynne Kelley refuses to sell, now or ever. 

For Lynne, this is more than a business--it's a home. For Nate, it is a way to honor his father and right a past wrong. Both are determined to win, yet the more time they spend together, the deeper their attraction grows. In this battle, someone has to lose. And the cost of winning might be far more than either is willing to pay.

Also, some other (some of them older) links to see behind the scenes of Lynne's story.

The first incarnation of Lynne.  As an aside, she looks more like this now. Without the nose ring. But, at one point in time she had one. Lynne, the wannabe rebel.

The collage.

Pinterest board that goes a little more in depth of how the implosion happened. And other stuff.

And, FYI, I'll also bundle See Megan Run and See Lynne Chased together. This is the cover for that edition of the stories.

What's on the Horizon

I honestly cannot believe April is here. What happened to the first three months? I know I've been busy, but daggone?

Anyway, what I've been doing? Thinking obsessively about the See Megan Run follow up. No matter what I've done over the years, Lynne, Megan's friend, hasn't been far from my mind. So much so I had to write her story. Then let it linger on my hard drive for a long, long while. I think Lynne has had enough. So much so I...Well...

In my defense, I couldn't sleep. (Release date TBA)

For Sale, Not Quite Everywhere

Amazon doesn't quite believe I am who I say I am. So that's taking forever. Other locations also taking forever for one reason or another.

 But, and this is a good but, you can find See Megan Run at Smashwords here and at Barnes and Noble (Nook)here. *insert sales pitch here* *insert I'll appreciate any review plea here* I'm off to attack How Much You Want To Bet? Got to fix the cover and ya know enter formatting of doom.

 ETA: I like to think Amazon read this post and hopped to it. But I doubt it. You can now buy this title on Amazon.

 ETA: This should let you know I'm rusty at this selling books stuff. I forgot the blurbage:

Megan Hazely hasn't taken a vacation in quite some time. Unfortunately, her first day off is spent being emotionally blackmailed by her mother to come home for a month. Not a big problem.

Ok. A huge problem, and then there’s Aiden Blake, Megan’s ex-boyfriend. The boy she loved has become a man. Time hasn’t lessened the spark between them, a spark that should have died the day she hitchhiked out of her small town.

Just like old times, better than old times Megan begins to succumb and fall hard, again, for Aiden. This will not do. 

Now home, again, Megan must deal with the troubles she left behind twelve years ago, and somehow leave again with her heart intact.

A rock and a hard place has nothing on her.

RELEASE WEEKEND SALE: Priced at $0.99 until Sunday midnight.
