Back of the Book

A father’s love doesn’t bend, so what happens when it breaks?

Corruption, dark truths, and a new Alpha mean Leon Gray’s days of running without a pack are over. At least, that’s what everyone but him believes.

He’d rather be helping his teenage daughter navigate the landmine life of a full werewolf, finish out his servitude as bodyguard to a former Demos City reporter and, in all honesty, not be taken advantage of by a beautiful woman who really only wants him for his body—figuratively and metaphorically.

Of course, the only way any of that might happen is if he’s dead. That’s likely given the information the reporter has unearthed and the territorial battles already underway between packs. If only Demos City’s corruption didn’t have such deep roots—older than the bones of the city or any of the werewolves who’ve decided to claim it. A city can only take so many power hungry mongrels invading it at one time, and Leon can only take so much knowing his daughter lives within its boundaries.

War has come to Demos City.

It’s up to Leon to fix … what’s most important to him.

And another week comes to a close.

Here are the “FAR” goals I established for this round of ROW80:

F-INISHING works in progress by adding >500 weekly new words, net.

A-DDING >1000 weekly new words to works with 10k words or less to them, and

R-EVISING two works for submission (converting one from adult to new adult and editing one based on feedback.) by tackling at least ONE chapter per week.

Here’s what I did this week:

FINISHING: 1290 words written for Mismatched Irregulars and Seconds (weekly goal met)

ADDING: 1172 words added to my NA novel. (weekly goal met)

REVISING: 1 chapter edited (weekly goal met)

Wish I had felt like writing a bit more, but just had a few too many competing head space issues to deal with. My word counts are solid, however, so I’m pleased.

I was also made giddy to find a lovely Amazon review of my debut novel wondering and expressing hope it would be a series. I never planned on it…but writing the rogue and whim-like followup novella reinforced how easy the heroine is to write and slip inside her skin. So…maybe. But I’ve just got all these other projects to get a grip on. I don’t want to become a partial story hoarder. They’ll make a reality show about me…being haunted by incomplete ghosts of stories stuttering for attention but never quite getting to the point enough to make a difference. Ah…probably a very common problem. Reminds me of when I used to sew. I collected fabric and patterns. I never met a seamstress who didn’t. I’ve never met an author who didn’t have a crowded hard drive or notebook either. 🙂

Thanks to all my visitors and commenters so far. 🙂
