Another Contract!!
Just got word on another contract from The Wild Rose Press for my new short vampire story, Sweet Redemption.
Here's the blurb: On a cold December night, Union infantry captain, Jonathan Hackett, is pinned down on the Fredericksburg battlefield trying to escape Confederate fire. But a creature of the night, more dangerous than any enemy soldier, stalks him. Jon must fight for his life as well as his soul.
Maddie Emery has lost everything dear to her. Her husband and parents have passed on and her brothers are off fighting for the Confederate Army. She's alone, trying single-handedly to hold onto her family's farm, when a Yankee soldier collapses across her stoop.
Maddie and Jon form a bond of love and desire, but as Jon exhibits signs of becoming the creature he fears most, is their love enough to fight off the evil of a centuries old vampire bent on destroying them?

Working On Something New Again
I've completed the first draft of my science fiction romance, Moons of Cynara, and put it aside for awhile, so I can come back to revise with a fresh eye.
In the meantime, I thought I'd start preliminary work on a brand new romance novel. This one will be a sequel to a young adult Civil War novel I had published years ago. I recently got the rights back and it's now out of print. But I loved those characters and want to write a brand new story that takes place around 1870. The characters will be older, so this one won't be YA, but a straight historical romance, set during the Victorian era.
So far, I've done character and setting sketches, made a list of things I need to research and have started on a rudimentary plot outline. It's fun working on a brand new story. My plan is to get as much work done on it as I can this month, then go back to Moons and start on the revision. When I'm done with Moons, I'll have my new story at least partially plotted out and can get to the first draft that much sooner.

Not Sure What I'm Doing...
... this month. I just finished the first draft of my science fiction romance, so have put that away to cool for a bit.
And the only other ongoing project I have is to finish edits, polish up and submit my short Civil War Christmas story. This project has to be submitted by the end of the month, so will be my top priority. But after that, I'll need to start on something new, I guess.
I've been toying with a post Civil War story featuring characters from my out-of-print YA novel, Under the Guns. So, maybe I'll start work on an outline for that, unless some other project captures my imagination.
