Well, here we are, mid-October already. I guess if I only post once per week the weeks seem to go faster. So far, not enough snow to actually shovel, so I’m still in denial about winter coming. Also, October is the best month for baseball! And my favorite player Derek Jeter is in the post season looking as sexy as ever sigh swoon They just won the division series, so bring on the championship!
Favorite Song of the Week ~ I couldn’t help it.
Work in Progress News ~ I changed the starting point of this wip three times. Finally I got one that’s perfect. I can always tell when it’s right when the words just flow. Now I’m just hoping the flow keeps flowing.
Backlist News ~ All my titles (except At Ease, but that’s the publisher’s choice) are available at iTunes again! Company Ink got a new cover to commemorate the occasion. What do you think? Subtly sexy. Thanks, Booknibbles!
Industry News ~ You’ve heard of Spotify, a subscription service for music? Well, what do you think about the same concept, but for books? Personally, I’d be all over it. All you can read for one monthly price. I’ll be keeping my eye on this company: Oyster
Search Term of the week aka How People Found My Websites ~ Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary this week! Just the usual folks looking for my books for free. Which reminds me of a tweet an author sent out some time ago, but for the life of me I can’t dig it up so I’ll paraphrase: “It takes a barista 3 minutes to make our $6 cup of coffee and we tip him. It takes an author over a year to write a book and we balk at paying $4.99.” Deep thoughts.
What I’m reading ~ Dreamspinner Press keeps putting their titles up for free for one hour only. I was lucky enough to catch the tweet that announced Heart’s Home. I do love shifters and historical m/m, so I snatched it up. I’m not finished with it, but so far I’m liking it. Great dialogue and I love how the MCs have their own voices.
Hero Quote ~ Are you guys sick of reading my hero quotes? Should I switch to heroine quotes? Bad guy quotes? Â Let me know. For now, here’s one from Cody in Wyoming Solace:
 “I know it’s wrong. You’ve been hurt, and you probably don’t want to have anything to do with…a man. God help me, it doesn’t stop me from wanting you. But I swear I’d never do anything to hurt you.”
Okay, now  I’m going to get back to writing. Have a great weekend and week!
The Yankees will lose!
I’d dig a service like spotify for books too! Maybe you should start one yourself. And maybe just do character quotes, might be easier to switch at will to whatever quote from your characters’ inspires you at the time.
And the site is not bad at all. I never got back to you about it, so I’ll let you know here. It isn’t as unintuitive as I thought from my initial visit.
Bring the snow! Hope all is well.
Jeremy
Ah thanks, Jeremy! There are a few inevitabilities in this world. One is the fact that it will snow in October on top of a Wyoming mountain, the other is the fact that the Yankees will win.
:p
Switching to all character quotes is a good idea too. Thanks for stopping by!
