Tuesday Tidbits

I know it's been a bit since I've been out and about online and I apologize. Been uber busy with the kiddos, who just got out of school on June 29th. And my oldest found a job -- her first -- so I'm definitely Chauffeur Mom right now :D

I've been able to fit in some writing. I'm 3/4 away from finishing a Menage story. The 2 male characters have been...a handful LOL  The heroine is such a gentle soul...with a certain quirk that she's been afraid to reveal and when she does...oh boy, are the boys rethinking things!

Awakenings update: due to busy schedules as a whole, it's with the final editor still and I don't have a release date just yet. But I can't see it being too much longer.

And speaking of Awakenings, I recently had an email from a reader, Betheny, who loved Illusions and was writing to find out more about the sequel and had a question. She wanted to know what males in real life inspired my heroes Brady (from Illusions) and Cole (from Awakenings).  I have shared the inspiration for Brady before, on my own or another blog, but will share the photo, as well of one for Cole.

Of course, my heroes always have a bit of my hubby as well in them. He's sweet, caring, driven, passionate, protective...all the great qualities my heroes seem to have as well.

So, the man behind Brady... is Eric Martsolf, an actor.

And for Cole...John DeSalvo - cover model who graced thousands of romance covers, whom I met back in 2005 at my first RT Convention

I'll keep you posted on the release date for Awakenings and other tidbits as they come.

Hope you're all having a fantastic summer!
