It's been a long time since I posted any sort of update. And I still don't have much in the way of news. All I can tell you is what I have been working on, how it's going, and what's next. But hey, I guess that IS news to everyone outside my head, right? ;-)
Soul Mates.
I've been working on the 5th book for a while. It's going as well as expected I guess, but it's a more difficult book than I thought it would be. There are things from earlier books that need to be wrapped up, current plot bits that need resolution, and then there are new bits that need to be set up for another book (same world, different POV).
The book and I kind of have a love/hate relationship. There are times when I think all is going well and I love it. Other times, I look at it and growl, wanting to do nothing but hit the delete button and start all over. Right now, I'm hovering somewhere in the middle, carefully working my way forward. I'm about 2 weeks behind where I needed to be on the book at this point, but I guess that's not as bad as 2 months -- or years!
And this next bit of news is something a few of my longtime readers might appreciate...
The DEA book (Target) is next.
It seems like every time I set a deadline in the Soul Mates world, my DEA guys just yell even louder. Richard is growly and demanding and even gun porn isn't keeping him occupied. Hell, I half-expect him to pop up in SM5 at any time and start "helping"...and that'd be a very bad thing. Ryan is currently being secretive, but it's more in a "pssst, come see what I found" sort of way. And I'm "Not looking yet, dude, so cut it out."
So, yeah....As soon as SM5 is wrapped up, Richard and Ryan will get my full attention.
Promise.
Um, what else?
LiveJournal hasn't been sending me notifications for a while now, apparently. I logged in to find that I've missed quite a bit in the way of comments, messages, and friend-adds. Is it just me or has LJ been wonky with anyone else?
Somewhat behind on Facebook, other than friend-req's that I can confirm on my phone. Feel like I've been away from there for so long that I don't know what to post.
Email? Those of you who've known me for a while are probably laughing because I'm always notoriously behind. Yep, still behind. Will probably always be behind.
Twitter. Probably the best (and fastest) way to get my attention. It runs in the background on my phone and doesn't shut up unless I look at it.
And that's...all I've got for now, I think. ;-)

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.
