I've got a few things going on. The first is a contemporary erotic romance between Elijah, a former special forces soldier who is now the CEO of a security firm, and Miranda, his personal assistant. Eli has strong feelings for Miranda, but he's kept them to himself. That changes when he and Mira are abducted. This is book one in a new series and there's a preview on my website.
I'm also working on a new adult romance about Evangeline, a damaged young rebel who refuses to fall for Lincoln, the hottest, most determined cowboy in Montana. Linc is a one-woman man, and the woman he wants is Evie. This is also book one in a new series called Phoenix Falls, about a Montana ranch dedicated to helping foster kids, and what happens when those kids are all grown up.

Lucas and Sofia were characters in earlier books in the Shifter Town Series, just begging me to put them together.

Freewriting. I just keep typing anything and everything until I burrow through. Generally it's rubbish, but like most journeys, you eventually get there.
