Summer's over. Already. Sigh. But that also means more writing time for me! I make no apologies for being selfish (and the kids were getting bored anyway...) So, here's what I have on the go, and what I hope to accomplish story-wise, and yes, I know I'm slow:
Lullaby of Lies - Spies, lies, Black Ops, conspiracies, false identities and two polar opposites who share the same motto: Trust No One. Until they have to trust each other in order to survive. This will be a contemporary m/m with BDSM elements (moderate to lite, depending on your opinion), hurt/comfort and probably some angst, because, you know, Trust No One. I really hope this one turns out how it plays in my head. It will probably be long...just sayin'. The picture below is a clue, wink-wink.
A Trick of the Light. Yes, there is a sequel to A Thread of Deepest Black, it just needs some love, and I love my shifter/werewolf world, so I will find some time to work on this soon. There is also a prequel, which is Young Adult about the Prince of Thorns (not m/m). It needs revising and editing and I want to get that done soon as well as it is my fave pet project. I really wish I could clone myself, LOL.
I am also working on a ghost story, as yet unnamed, and no it's not a friendly ghost, so nobody will be getting warm and fuzzy feelings from it, more like cold and creepy feelings. I'm not a horror writer, but if it gives readers the willies, so much the better!
And for those who liked my Love Has No Boundaries short, As He Watches, I do plan on writing about whatever the hell happens after 3:00 because I can't stand not knowing myself. Erik needs to spend some time in that corset, damn it. And Winter needs to suffer...er, I mean, needs to learn the fine art of wooing. And spanking...well, spanking Erik, which is actually harder on Winter. I expect to make this a freebie as well.
And then there's that sequel to Not His Kiss To Take. Ah, Jamie...how do I love thee and thy snarky nicknames, let me count the ways...

So that's my update - don't know what I'll finish first though, the muse always has a mind of it's own, the darn thing.
Thanks for checking in and happy reading.
Hell yes for the 3:00 reveal!
ReplyDeleteI may be sliiightly biased in what I'm looking forward to, but Lullaby of Lies also sounds like my kind of fun. Good luck on your goals:)
You make fantastic story prompts, Cari :) Thanks for letting me write As He Watches for you. I'm working on Lullaby right now, but I really should think of lots of humiliating and kinky trouble for Erik to get into, on the side, and not for my own amusement, you understand...
ReplyDeleteI don't know about summer being over, since the heat index is supposed to be 105F here today. ;)
ReplyDelete105?? Can I come visit, LOL? It's quite nice here, actually, although we never reached that temp this year, darn. Last time I was cooked like that I was in Hayden, Idaho at Silverwood Park - we spent most of our time on the waterpark side (regrettably, so did everyone else...).
DeleteHope you're not suffering, Chris. Here's to the invention of the air-conditioner! Pet kitties for me?
Oh, gah, it's SO STICKY and horrid. Bless the air conditioning. And I'll pet the kitties for you. :)
