Beth and Scotty's story, Immortally Yours, is finally out on the bookstore shelves! YAY! Seems like just yesterday I handed this story in to my editor! Beth is an awesome heroine. Although she'd been put through the ringer time and time again as a mortal, she overcame the hand she was dealt and thrived as an enforcer. And Scotty, crusty stubborn Scotsman that he is, is about to learn a lot from Beth. She’s definitely his equal and will never allow Scotty to rule over ANYTHING in her life.

So, I finished my last two books on my last two contracts; one historical and one Argeneau. Now I have some free time. Woot woot woot!! And I started on and even finished several projects in the evenings this last week. A new cushion for Teddy’s dog bed that goes in my office. A new mattress or cushion for the dog bed in the kitchen (both of which had been eaten by the dogs who just love giving me projects). I also replaced the low toilet in the downstairs bathroom for a higher one, and I’ve been refinishing and painting a table that we keep the dog dishes on in the kitchen. Nearly done that. Hmm, just realized as I wrote this that other than the toilet, all of my projects were dog related. Guess I must love the mangy mutts, lol.

I suppose I’ll have to consider new projects. Or maybe new books. I could finish the new Argeneau I have two thirds done. I was having fun with it. It has pirates. Yes, you read that right. Pirates. They are immortals and used to be proper pirates, but now sail around the Caribbean luring tourists onto their pirate ship ostensibly to sail out and feed the sharks. Of course, the mortals think the pirates are just in costume as a tourist attraction. They don’t realize there is no chum involved, the sharks they’ll be feeding are the pirates, and that they, the tourists, are the ones on the menu. Bwahahahaha. Oh, sorry. I was having fun with this one. The hero is a Notte, one of Christian’s cousins from the band. I think his name is Raffaele, but I suck at remembering names so might have it wrong. It’s not Santo or Zanipolo. Santo’s story comes after Raff. I already have a story idea and heroine for him, even started that book too. Yes, now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure it’s Raff in the pirate story. But Santo and Zani are there with him. They’re actually all there because Raff and Zani had to take Santo away on a vacation to help him get over what Dr. Nasty did to him in Immortal Unchained. Zani picked the vacation spot, and Raff is none too pleased with the hot and sunny choice he made . . . until he meets Jess. Jess is in the Caribbean as a guest of a relative’s wedding, and her cousin dragged her onto the ship of pirates who happen to be rogue immortals run by one Captain Vasco. Oh my Gawd he was so much fun! Guess I should stop there or I’ll be giving the whole story away!

So, change of topic, but not much of a change . . . I’ve been toying with titles for my vampire pirates. I’m considering Ship of Rogues, Vampirates, and The S.S. Immortal. Those are a few I’ve come up with. But I suck at titles so any opinions or ideas would be appreciated. Maybe we should have a contest. If someone comes up with a better title and we use it, they get something. Yeah, I’ll talk to Terri about it. So if you have a title idea, hang onto it and wait for the contest. But any opinions on the ones I’ve listed would be appreciated in the meantime.

So, that’s all from me now. Later guys!!
