Odette Stone Yes! Jackson will be in the new book!
Odette Stone Well, so far I have two full-length hockey books planned for my "Puck Me series", a hockey novella (for the same series), and the conclusion to Femi and Aaron, a novella called "My Exiled Princess". I also have a forth full-length book for my SEAL series planned - with some shocking twists. I can't wait to throw that at my readers, they are going to FREAK (in a good way)! If I did POV for Jackson, it will be a ways off....but I might do it as a bonus for my newsletter at some point. No promises. But there is some exclusive bonus material that I will be giving away only to my newsletter subscribers, so be sure to sign up at www.odettestone.com.
Odette Stone Hi Madeena,

Great question.  And the answer is yes, I do have an ARC team.

I’m using a system called ReaderLinks, which is a really advanced and convenient way to get my books in the hands of my readers who are interested in either providing feedback about the book or providing a review.

If you (or anyone else) is interested in ARCing my books) please email me at odette.stone@yahoo.com and just let me know - and I will send you instructions on how to sign up.

I currently have Book 3 available to ARC and within the month, I will be ARCing my new "Hockey sports romance" (which I am so excited about).

Odette Stone Inspiration is a really odd thing. Some days I can't wait to sit down and work at my current WIP, other days, I'd rather do anything else. Having more than one project going at once really helps me. If my brain needs to work through some issues on one project, picking up and working on a different project really helps. Especially if my projects are all at different stages.
Odette Stone There are two reasons why my words stop flowing. 1) I need a break. So, I will typically give myself a day off to just not be writing. 2) The more common reason for the words to stop flowing, is something went wrong in the book. I find that if I go back 2-3 chapters and re-write - and re-work, the words start to flow again.
Odette Stone The infinite possibility of it all. You're the creator of everything. Every breath, every room, every character. As a writer, you are in charge. It's almost too much power. But trying to take that and make it into something fun to read, that is my idea of a good time.
Odette Stone I think there is a writer in everyone. There is a story teller in all of us. My best advice is if you want to be a writer, than write. And write. And write. You're first draft, you're first book, your first gazillion words will not be a masterpiece, but you will get there by writing and practicing writing. I look at some authors and I think, "Man, I have so much to learn yet about writing." Be okay with where you are as a writer and embrace it.
Odette Stone My current WIP for writing, is the first two books in my hockey romance sport's series. My current editing/ getting-ready-to-publish is Beth's story. The third book of my "Guilty Series" that is a stand alone. Beth and Porter. I can't wait for people to read their story. It's sassy and hot.
Odette Stone I don't really know how my ideas come to me!? I guess they start out as "what if's" that they tend to grow into little mini-stories that I daydream about. The ones that stick, tend to turn into books.
