Stubborn Love

Ok…the next book. Here is my beautiful new cover designed by Sarah Hansen at Okay Creations. I love this so much!!

Stubborn Love is a companion novel to I Love You to Death. It is Mia & Jared’s story but features overlapping characters, events and timelines.

My plan is to release it September 2013.

Confession time.

So, I have a little confession to make about this first draft I finally finished. Remember I posted on Facebook, that karaoke song of mine…The Reason…remember I told you I had a teeny tiny confession to make? Well here goes…

  1. Luke is a stubborn arse…really
  2. Because Luke is a stubborn arse, it’s hard for me to sit down and just finish his book. Because I’m a crazy person, I actually need these characters inside my head talking to me…he’s not.
  3. Two other people were jumping up and down and yelling at me though…I’d already started their story months ago and they were getting antsy for me to finish it…that’s what I did.
  4. Did I mention Luke’s a stubborn arse?
  5. Remember that other ending I posted yesterday? Where Ash says, “He’s stubborn remember?”  see, even she knows he’s a stubborn arse
  6. But she also said this, “Jared doesn’t live with us anymore because now he lives with Mia. She left Chicago when everything changed with them, when they finally sorted all their shit out, but that’s for them to tell you about.”

That is for them to tell you and guess what, they want to…So, after that long rambling confession, the take home message is this;

Luke’s book is not next…

Jared & Mia’s is…

Sorry…I really do plan to finish Luke’s book…their story just needs to be told first…

Title of Luke’s book

There is a new teaser for Luke on Natasha is a Book Junkie’s blog…

And, I have now got a title for Luke’s book….still no cover, release date or blurb, but one step closer right…

And that title is…

I Love You, Always

Also, for anyone who missed the post on Totally Booked with Luke’s plans for Ash on Valentine’s Day, here they are:

The lovely gals over at Totally Booked have asked me to spill the beans on my Valentine’s Day plans this year. Of course, I want to give a big shout out to every single one of you, and wish you all a very happy Valentine’s Day. I hope you all spend it with the one you love, it’s what I plan to do.

So what am I doing for Ash? Well, I’m taking her away, just the two us. We’re going up to Maine. She doesn’t know it yet, but Jared’s folks have a cabin up there, practically in the middle of nowhere. I’m taking a heap of nice food, plenty of drinks and we’re going to this amazing house, with an open fire and a huge bed. And I’m keeping her there for 3 days straight. We aren’t leaving and we aren’t seeing anyone. Honestly, I actually don’t plan on getting out of bed, except to cook for her. And even that is going to be fun. I’m taking ingredients for tiramisu and I’m gonna make it for her. Actually what I’m really going to do is get her to make tiramisu with me. Ash can’t really cook, but fuck do I love making tiramisu with her, ever since that first time I taught her. I know she knows how to make it by now, but we still act like she doesn’t, and each time we make it, I “teach” it to her all over again. And let me tell you, it’s getting hotter and more amazing every time I do. This time I’m suggesting we skip the bowls altogether. I can think of better places I’d like to eat it from. So yeah, that’s my Valentine’s Day plans…and I can’t wait.

Luke’s book.

Ok….I think it’s time I answered this question, I seem to get it a lot 🙂

Luke’s book:
Is not just Asha’s story told from his POV
It is different
It will move the timeline forward
But we will also go back in time
I wish I could tell you when it’s coming out….but rest assured I am writing it as fast as I can. Remember the boy is very stubborn….

Mmmm, think that covers everything. Thank you for loving him so much x

The next book…

Ok, so you may or may not know that I have been working on two other books since I finished writing I Love You to Death. Actually, both of them were started before I even finished it and both of them are probably at the same stage. One is Luke’s story and the other is Jared & Mia’s story. I love both of them and I want to tell both of them, but I do need to decide which one to finish first.

Well, I have decided, or rather it’s been decided for me – whichever one insists on waking me up at night you see 😉

I’ll let you know which one it is but first I’m being greedy…I wanna get 300 likes on my Facebook page! You know, 300, like that movie that features all the hot guys in very little clothing and awesome CGI abs…yeah that one! And in return for 300 likes, I’ll not only tell you which book is coming next, I’ll give you a teaser which will explain everything.

So, get on over there and “like” me 🙂
