As I’ve mentioned in previous WIP Wednesday posts, I always schedule in advance. So I’m actually writing this blog post on January 6, 2020. Currently, I finished my edits with eXtasy Books for Dressed for Success, my latest short story that will soon be released. To celebrate, I’m going to share an excerpt for this May/December steamy read.
WIP Wednesday
Here is Teaser and the blurb for Dressed for Success:
I’m a member of the Author Toolbox Blog Hop. What is it? A chance for authors at any stage in their career to connect by providing helpful posts related to all things writing. The Hop occurs once a month, with the exception of November and December. My third post for The Hop is on blogging for romance writers. So read on…
Today, I’m reviewing the Monarch of Pyramid Mountain, a young adult fantasy novel by Curtis A. Cooper.

I’m on pins and needles, waiting for the release of Renewed, book four in the Matawapit Family Series. I received an official publication date of February 7, 2020 from my publisher eXtasy Books. So here is another excerpt to whet your appetite.
Before I continue, and if you’ve read my previous WIP Wednesday post, I am proud to say both short stories I mentioned, Dressed for Success and After the Snow Melts, are now in the editing stages with my publisher. Whee!
Since I post in advance (and it’s Christmas Eve morning LOL), I’ll have started on my next full-length novel project. More news will be forthcoming in another update.
WIP Wednesday
The Matawapit Family Series: In the wilds of Northwestern Ontario, the adult children of a domineering Ojibway church deacon find their faiths crumbling and their beliefs faltering when a vengeful former lover, an ex-fiancé out on parole, and a seductive family enemy challenge Emery, Bridget, and Jude in a duel of love, loyalty, and values that threatens to destroy their perfect Catholic lives and family.
Here is Teaser Two for Renewed:
From New Year’s Eve, Tuesday, December 31, 2019 to New Year’s Day, Wednesday, January 1, 2020, the blog will be closed. I want to thank everyone who supported my web site over the past year whether guesting, commenting, or providing me with a book to review. It’s very much appreciated.
Today, I’m reviewing Protecting Joyce, book five in the Love Me or Leave Me series by Cameron Allie, a contemporary romance.

From Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, 2019 to Boxing Day, Thursday, December 26, 2019, there will be no blog posts. Enjoy the holidays! I’ll see you when I return on Friday, December 27, 2019.
Today, I’m reviewing Forge in the Heart, a steamy contemporary romance by Lisette Kristensen.

Today, I have author Sara Dobie Bauer in the interview chair. We discuss her latest release, We Still Live, a m/m contemporary romance. I’m also reviewing her book, so read what I have to say about her new novel that takes readers deep into trauma and love.

Today, I’m reviewing Bells and Whistles by Liza Kay, a m/m contemporary romance, and book eight in the Twelve Days of Christmas holiday special published by eXtasy Books.

Today, I’m reviewing Anything for a Hit by Dorothy Carvello, an autobiography about an A&R rep in the music industry who gives the inner-scoop about its many dealings and secrets.
With Renewed, book four in the Matawapit Family Series and the sequel to Sanctified, coming soon, I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at what’s in store for Jude Matawapit and his lovely leading lady Raven Kabatay.
Before I post the excerpt, I thought I’d let you know what I’m currently working on. Because I schedule posts waaay ahead of time (it’s Nov 14th today), I should have submitted both short stories to eXtasy Books by now. One is a contemporary, interracial romance called Dressed for Success, and the other is a LGBT, YA contemporary romance, with the working title of After the Snow Melts.
