#IWSG Just Keep Swimming

Join us here! Thanks to Alex Cavanaugh for leading us.

Many thanks to the co-hosts for the July 6 posting of the IWSG: J Lenni Dorner, Janet Alcorn, PJ Colando, Jenni Enzor, and Diane Burton!

Whoops, I almost forgot about IWSG again! Too many summer days at the swimming pool. Ahhhhh.

Instead of answering this month’s question, I have a question for you. Have you ever asked for your rights back from your publisher in order to self-publish past novels? I’m considering doing so (now that the contracts have elapsed), taking time to update, and I’m looking for tips and pros/cons.

#IWSG: Ramping Up for Release

Welcome to July’s Insecure Writers Support Group, started by Alex J Cavanaugh. Join us HERE.

Happy summer in the northern hemisphere! How’s your summer going? I love swimming laps in my outdoor pool…


…and I can’t wait to watch swimming and other sports in the Olympics.

I don’t love a day job extra project that involves writing long papers with an August deadline. Fiction writing is WAY more fun!

I’m ramping up to release my next novel on 10/1/16: New Adult Sports Romance SPIKED (Blocked #3). Spiked features the awesome sport of swimming.

We plan a cover reveal and review tour as well as a Facebook party. I hope to put the first two novels on sale, too. Any other marketing strategies you recommend?

If you’d like to help host the cover reveal for Spiked on 8/1/16, sign ups are HERE

(Warning: this cover contains another shirtless man. But my character’s personality is much more important than his abs, I swear!)

Is July really over? *cries* We’ll have to make ourselves feel better by giving away stuff.

I’m stoked for the third and final novel in my adult romantic suspense series to launch September 24, 2013: On Best Behavior (The Conduct Series #3). It feels wonderful to finish writing a series!

To celebrate, I’m giving away an ebook of the first novel in the series:

With Good Behavior (The Conduct Series #1)



With Good Behavior is a fast-paced, action-rich and heart-wrenching romance with adorable main characters.”
