Work In Progress
A Friend In Need
Julian is the kind of guy who will always do a favor for a friend. Whether it’s moving furniture or providing a shoulder to cry on he is always there. When Matt gets dumped by his boyfriend, hard, and doesn’t bounce back, Julian discovers that Matt might need more than a shoulder to cry on, and Julian just might have the kind of skills he needs.
Eden Springs Unnamed Sequel
This has been started and outlined but I’m having trouble switching between modern voice for my other works and they old fashion voice for this. I will keep you updated. I have a feeling it might end up novel length.
The Agency
A quiet office romance within the halls of a vague yet menacing government agency. A solid outline has been worked out and some scenes handwritten.
Bottom of the Pool
My first YA project. 13k words in but have hit a few bumps. Will probably be on the back burner until 2016.
Blood Magic
Non-romance, urban fantasy, murder mystery.
Just read your book Empty Nests and absolutely loved it, Can’t wait for the second book. After reading Empty Nests I checked out your other works and read Whistle Blowing and loved that one too. Are there plans in the works for a second book for that story because I want to Know what happens next for Daren, Sebastian, Rachael and Agent Kim while they are on the run. Do they ever take down the Delaware Family, will Daren find his father figure Richard while on the run, how will there budding relationship progress, etc. Thanks for writing such awesome books.
First off I’m really glad you liked Empty Nests and I hope you enjoy the sequel even more.
Second: Whistle Blowing

I wish so very much that I could go back an do another pass on that and just make it better. I wrote the whole thing in about 4 months and at one point I lost 20,000 words while trying to do a backup. I have seldom cried like that. As for a sequel…
I’ve never worked out a solid plotline, just ideas for some scenes. The big hurdle would be the research needed for world building. I know nothing about how international finance or big rich families work. For Whistle Blowing it was basiclly a one room two hander. Except for the ending it could have been a stage piece or low budget film. I think this would be one of the few project where I would need a writing partner in order to get it done. I did a blog post for more detail on the project if you’re interested.

Just finished Bowerbirds. I don’t see book 3 of Nested Hearts listed on your WIP page. Is that just wishful thinking on my part or will you be continuing the story? Loved both books, thanks for writing them!
First off thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed both books. I’ve been particularly worried about the reception for Bowerbirds.
As for a third book, I never list anything on the WiP page until I’ve got a clear plot. Right now I have a handful of scenes but until I can work out how they fit together I don’t want to lead people on. I don’t want to go to the ‘they break up and get back together’ well again. The whole project was meant to be one little 60k bog standard romance. It got a little out of control. Oops.
I do have a couple more projects I’m committed to first. I hope you enjoy those as much, and I’ll keep rolling James, Gabe, Dylan, and Tamyra rolling around the back of my mind.
Thank you again.
