GRL and other random thoughts
So, I just came back from GRL where I attended as a reader along with Ann Lister. We had a blast and got to see Zack Hardt (My Harley from the Rock Series). As always, we had so much fun with all the other authors and I got to meet Alexa Land whom I've never met before besides on Facebook. Awesome lady! As always, when I get to hang out with other authors that write M/M I'm ecstatic about talking with them.
I was fortunate to have a front row seat for some of the panels thanks to Jessica Canoto and Dennis Quinonez, two of my readers that spoil me rotten (Please don't kill me if I misspelled your last names). Anyway, one of those panels i sat in on had one of the authors talking about how she was done with a certain two characters (for now) and I was relieved to hear that, why? Because I was feeling weird that I needed to take a step back from the Assassin Shifters.
Just like anything else, if you write something for so long, you tend to get bored and I don't want that to happen. I don't want my guys to suffer because I'm not all in. I need to be ALL IN and until Mateo and the guys begin whispering again, I'm going to write the Rock Series.
I think it goes along the lines of an actor taking on a different role after being typecasted for so long. Some viewers just can't get behind the new role. Kinda the same for authors who try to branch out I think. I went through something similar with the Men of Manhattan series, but eventually, I grabbed some new readers.
Sometimes, change is good, and I'm hoping that reflects in the Rock Series. Will everyone like them? Probably not and I'm okay with that. I learned a long time ago that you can't please everyone. When the Assassins come back, you'll be treated to Loki and Cezar's book, the12 Olympians are Jordy and Wraith and the next MoM book is Michael and Ryan.
As for the Santoro's, we're working on that book now and the next book in the Angel series is Michael and Ty.
I've got a full plate and I'm trying to get to all of it so please bare with me while I try to navigate it all!
In the meantime, I have updated the eBay store with new merchandise so check it all out. I'll add more as more books come out.
As always, I thank you all for taking this trip with me and I appreciate all your emails and messages!
MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL!

Being patient is hard... Anxiously awaiting more for the Assassin/Shifter series! In the meanwhile, I'll start on another of your series. With everything I have to do to keep the world turning, I NEED this escapism to keep ME going. Thanks for helping to keep me sane (such as it is)! :-)
