It's been a busy day, so I'm a little late w/this one. And since I'm late, you get another snippet. SM5, this time:
Caleb met my gaze and smiled. "Mind if I come up?"
I shook my head quickly and tried to push Xander away, but he refused to budge. "Please, come on up here, Caleb."
He did and moved to sit beside me, resting back on his elbows. "I wasn't going to come tonight."
"So I heard." I leaned to the right and kissed his temple. "I'm glad you changed your mind."
Caleb leaned into me. "Is my wolf bothering you?"
"Just being his usual, pushy self," I said with a smile. Xander pinched me on the inside of my thigh and I thumped him on the forehead. "And if he doesn't behave, I'm going to push him down the stairs."

Do you Twitter? Facebook?
(x-Posted)
If so, I’ve decided to start posting random lines from current works in progress. The two in progress right now are Soul Mates 5 and Target. It might happen once a day, a couple of times a day, once a week, or even once a month. It'll vary, no doubt, because I get busy and distracted. Or, if I'm working with spoilery scenes, I won't be posting at all. Sometimes the same lines will be posted on both networks. Other times, I might find a line/set of lines that need a little more room. Those will go to Facebook.
Either way, just thought I’d pass the word along.

Sorry I haven’t been around for a while. Life got hectic then summer time hit… Now that kids are in school, I’m hoping to get back on track. And y’all… I’m so much better at replying to things on Twitter and FB! You know how long I can take to respond to emails

*waves*
I've been out of touch for a while, dealing with life and other "fun" things. Okay, so not having internet isn't fun at all. It's freakin' torture. But now, I'm the frustrated owner of satellite internet. So yeah, I'm back online... as long as it isn't cloudy!
It's a busy time of year right now -- what with kids getting ready to go back to school -- so I'm not counting on getting caught up (okay, so as caught up as I ever get) until after I get my days back to myself.
One thing to note: I had a massive HD failure, resulting in loss of works in progress, pictures, misc files, and downloaded emails. Important stuff, of course. If you emailed me before May 10th or so (and didn't receive a reply), I no longer have access to those emails... so please re-send.
Also, while I was away I had two stories release. It may be old news to some folks, but it's still news ;-)

Never Let Go: The Ace of Cups
Also, while I was away I had two stories release. It may be old news to some folks, but it's still news ;-)
* * *
Never Let Go: The Ace of Cups Grant and Devon have been best friends — with benefits, of course – since college. Grant is a best-selling author of a well-known action/adventure series, but it still doesn’t pay well enough for him to live on. Devon is a photographer that works in the porn business and he’s gotten pretty close with many of his subjects. Grant and Devon roomed together in harmony, each putting up with the other’s quirks, until Grant developed stronger feelings for Devon.
After a night of passion-fueled love-making, Grant finally tells Devon of his feelings and Devon reciprocates. However, only hours later, Grant walks in on some unknown model showing Devon just how good he is at his craft. Six months later, Grant’s trying to find a job and Devon’s still trying to win him back. But Grant is hurt and still sees Devon as the player that he’s always been. The two of them will have to get past what happened between them in order to find out what’s in store for the future.

Toy Box: Biting edited by M. Rode, with stories by Misa Izanaki, Jourdan Lane, and Mike Shade
In Curiosity by Misa Izanaki, bartender Dante wants his half-vampire lover Kale to bite him. Kale is hesitant, afraid he’ll go too far and hurt his sweet lover. But will refusing his lover this request do as much damage as granting it could? Jourdan Lane’s offering, Clarity, brings us back to the world of Soul Mates. In this story Caleb’s punishment is coming to an end and he is finally allowed to feed again. While he’d love to begin with master vampire Lucien, it is his lover Xander he turns to.
And finally, in Keifer and Me, Mike Shade brings us the reunion of Davey with his lover Kiefer after a year’s separation. Keifer’s promised him a homecoming Davey won’t forget, but when Keifer starts talking about being a werewolf, Davey has to wonder if he’s going to have to have Keifer committed. Who doesn’t love it when the boys get a little toothy?

New Release: Mark of the Beast
Sabaan has no idea what to do to make things better between his lover, Nikolas, and his master vampire, Lucien. Heck, Sabaan doesn’t know how to help Lucien reconnect with his lover Peter, either. All he knows that the four of them have a connection like no other, and that he has to try to help make it work. When Nikolas gets a little jealous, Sabaan also knows that he has to do something to keep his relationship going strong. Can he make everyone happy, or is it a lost cause? Lovers of the Soul Mates series won’t want to miss this one!
Find it here: http://www.torquerebooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1871
*Note: This short story takes place at the same time as Soul Mates: Secrets, but from Sabaan’s POV.

Soul Mates 5 - Questions?
X-Posted from http://jourdanlane.livejournal.com
For those of you who have read the Soul Mates series....
I've just finished up work for the day... which included making outline notes on Soul Mates 5. It's not my main focus at the moment, but I will work on it occasionally when my contemporary gives me fits. Right now, I'm staring at the SM5 outline (mostly things-that-need-to happen notes and not a true outline, lol) and thinking that something is missing.
That I've forgotten something important that's *supposed* to be there in this next book. Which leads me to questions, of course!
* What do YOU want to see happen in the next book?
* Is there something that you want to see wrapped up?
* Something that MUST be wrapped up because not knowing is driving you crazy?
* Characters that have fallen off the map, but still have story you expected to see
* Anything else?
Now remember, I'm NOT taking a poll for what to include in the next book. I'm just kind of hoping that something in the comments will help jog my memory for that "missing thing" I can't seem to pinpoint.
Want to humor me??
**Warning: If you haven't read the series, then you probably don't want to hang out and read the comments!**

Update -- January 4th, 2009
X-Posted from my Yahoo Group.

*gets out the cleaning supplies*
I have been remiss in keeping up with my own group. For that, I do apologize. Last year was a rough one and I spent much time just feeling like hammered shit. Anyway...
New Year, new outlook... And hopefully, more time to both write and chat. I promise, I'll do my very best to keep up.
Word of warning, though? I'm STILL behind on email from September/October, so sending things through the group is probably the best -- and quickest -- way to get a response from me from now on :)
Unless you catch me on LiveJournal. Most of my entries are friends-locked to keep the trolls away, but anyone is more than welcome to set up a free account and friend me to see those entries.

I'd really love to get some conversation going in the group (hell, anywhere!) again. Read any great books lately? Found an author that you've made an auto-buy?
Tell us about it!
My to-be-read pile (both ebook and print) is just falling all over the place, but I'm still buying books and looking for new authors. For me, it really is an obsession :)
And remember, it doesn't just have to be m/m books, either!
* * *
I know many of you will be just ecstatic over this -- and some of you might still be pissed off at me that it isn't finished yet -- but I'm currently working on Target.
The progress is going well and I am LOVING the way Richard and Ryan are meeting and coming together in the rewrite. I had once thought that taking it and rewriting it so much would be a mistake, but honestly, y'all? I love it.
And I usually hate everything I write when I go back to read over it, lol.
Richard's a blast to write and I can't wait until the kids get back in school this week to get back to work on the book. I'm not going to give a time-frame for finishing OR publishing because when I do, things just seem to go wrong to spite me.
I will say, however, that I'll do my best to have it done in the next couple of months.
