WIP#1 of 2012

I missed my desired deadline but I have completed my first WIP of 2012, entitled Virgin Unbound, a story about a virginal bookworm and her hunky professor. I am off to a good start! Here a few images I found on the internet that resemble the images in my head that inspired me to write the story...

Ergonomic Sweetness

My husband is a sweetheart. A conversation about ergonomics brought up the realization that a new desk and or chair would make my life better and maybe even increase my productivity. So off to Office Max we went. And lo and behold, a sweet desk and chair were found! I haz a huge happy. :)

The new desk is a Z-line Zentra glass and metal thing of beauty.

 And the chair is a Serta. Sweet!

Nothing better than sushi on your birthday.

New Place, New Headspace

My husband and I have a new place. My office, the second bedroom in our apartment, is much bigger and has the ONLY balcony-access door on the entire complex. That's gotta be cool, right?

Also cool is the prospect of a new headspace. 2011 was NOT the best year for writing here at Casa Del Persephone Jones, so I'm hoping the change of scenery will prove creatively fruitful.

Love Hurts

Well, not a happy post to be sure. Sadly, Cougar's Kiss will not be published any time soon. As it turns out, I must return it to the drawing board and rework it extensively. I do however believe Cougar's Kiss will be published one day. At its heart, it is a really good story and worth putting out in the world. For now, it will go on the back burner to simmer for a while. When the time is right, Sierra and Joseph's story will return to my computer screen. Sometimes the best things in life are hard won. Maybe Cougar's Kiss is one of them.

Another Soon-To-Be-Best-Seller

The best CP in the world released another killer story today. Give it up for Kitty Cahill!

Cougar's Kiss

As of six o’clock this evening, I submitted Cougar’s Kiss to Shadowfire Press, my awesome publisher. At just over 66,000 words, it will be the longest work I’ve had published to date. If it gets accepted. *Fingers crossed*

A few acknowledgements are in order…

Thanks to Kitty Cahill, my gal pal and crit partner for being awesome, fun, and hard-working.

To J, The Husband from Heaven, for being an understanding sweetie when dinner consisted of take-out. Again.

And to my Mom, who’s always encouraged me.

I’ll post again soon with details about the edit process, the final wordcount and the cover. Can’t wait for that! *Sending get well wishes to Coyote*
