Anasa is FINISHED!
Oct. 9th, 2017 12:20 pm
So, Anasa is DONE!
*runs around the room screaming*
I'm really stoked about this book. I love the two characters, their banter is really some of the best I've written in a long time. I really happy how it turned out, but again, the ending is lacking. I hope to fix it once I get it back from the beta readers, but in the meantime, I'm happy with Anasa.
I'll be putting down the paranormal for a bit and concentrating on two contemporary novellas. One is an MF for my new muse, Veronica and the other is an MM for Rawiya called Save Me. Save Me is actually a continuation of a story I wrote for my cousin who committed suicide in 2011. A lot of the parts were done in a short I did called Guardian Angel and an antho with the same title. I'm basically rewriting the whole book into one to give this book the happy ending I wanted for it in the beginning. I'm hoping to release that for Xmas.
Teacher's Pet is my MF and I hope that will also come out in Nov/Dec. Those books, along with Calisto's Quest, which is Immortals 4 and my short Double Play for Minor League Alphas, will finish out the year for me as far as releases. I really wanted Immortals to be done by the end of the year but again,I have a series that will be carried into the following year. Thankfully, with only 2 books. Mercurio's Mating, book 5 and Book 6 for a character who has wormed her way into my heart, the kid Annerxa. We shall see what happens with that.
So as far as WIP's, I have Teacher's Pet and Save Me on tap. Also edits on SMOKE which I got back from my content editor. This book might not be out this year, but we will see what happens. I might hold it back until January so I'll have something new to look forward to for the new year!
Thanks for listening

Done with Baseball Short
Aug. 28th, 2017 04:10 pm
So, I am done with the baseball short.
The dang thing ended up at around 22K.
*shakes fist at characters*
WHYYY! When I tried really hard to make it like 15K, but no, these two continued to talk. And in that 22K, I have like 4 sex scenes.
JESUS!
There is a lot of banter between these two as well. Some great one liners. It's kind of like The Wretched but with athletes instead of rockstars. It won't be out until November, so we'll see if me and my betas can cut some of the filler.
So that leaves me with Crossfire. I really wanted this story to be done by end of August. Unless I write like 10-12K in the next 3 days, that won't happen, so I'm setting the goal to be done by September 4th. I actually need to be done by Saturday because I have a wedding to attend. That means no writing. Oh and the wedding is out of town so, yeah, probably not going to bother taking my laptop. I will take my Kindle though so we shall see what happens.
To make that date happen, I will be putting off starting anything else new. Anasa is ready to go, but Crosssfire has to be finished. I wanted it in the editor's hands sooner than later, but due to RL and so many other things, I couldn't make that happen.
Once I get that done, I'll start rewriting my stories Guardian Angel/Save me, combining them into one titled Save Me. It's the story I wanted to write for my cousin who committed suicide. I've wanted to finish a full book for him for a long time, and since I bought the cover, I'll be doing that.
Also, I'll be doing Veronica's short, Rain Delay, and Anasa for Michael. Once any one of those are done, I intend to work on a couple of stories for BLMorticia. One is a novella I don't have a title for, but it's set in New Orleans and involves paranormal. The other is a short called Heat of The Night. I have a cover for that as well and I'll be probably giving it away as a freebie or charging 99 cents for it. We shall see how it goes.
Wish me luck on finishing Crossfire by Sept 4th!
February is here!
Feb. 1st, 2017 09:28 am
Greetings folks.
It's February! OHEMGEE, can you believe it? January already flew by and now the second month of 2017 is upon us.
January was a busy month for me. I managed to write over 75k last month, mostly because I finished like 4 stories. *laughs* The one I'm doing with my co-author isn't done, but we're almost to the finish line. Currently we're clocking in at 56k and probably looking at 65-70k for our book.
This month I'm focusing on a new set of challenges. I've decided to let BL relax and won't be doing
Why you ask? Because I realized BL has over 30 books to her credit. Sure, 18 of those are for The Wretched alone which is a collection of novellas, but dang, my Michael muse is starving for more attention. Such is the reason why I've to stop writing with the Wicked Gal for now. No worries, she'll be back. I already have a lot for her to tackle once we start writing again.
Another series for her with my co-author, the first book is done. UTG3, a Wretched spinoff or two, the follow up to Odd Couple, the redo of My Lieutenant, and possibly Wild Horses will finally get a look over. AGAIN. So believe you me, she has a lot on her plate and I'll look to doing more with her after May.
When I looked at the breakdown of books per author, they looked like this:
Michael 14
BL 31
Rawiya 7
Rawiya doesn't do a bunch, so I'm not really worried about her. She is supposed to be the opposite of BL anyway, so I'm not really concerned that she has a low amount. I would like to try getting her another book or 2 before the end of the year. Sugar Daddy is on tap to be re-done and I have a new one titled Love in the Slow Lane. We'll see how it goes.
In the meantime, wish me luck on my WIPs. As you can see I'll be hella busy. And I've decided to dip my toe in freelance writing as well. Hmm. We'll see how much I do. You can follow me there if you so desire. Sharita Lira
Oh and the muse is David Garrett. In my co-author story, he is Frederick Tremblay world famous violinist. <3
