I&#8217;m late getting this up, thanks to WordPress for my daily collection of gray hair. I know you&#8217;re all on pins and needles, so\u00c2\u00a0 on with the update!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003300;\">Work in Progress News ~<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0I&#8217;m in the middle of merging two works into one. I also whittled down my &#8220;in progress&#8221; file down to eight. Five for Alanna, three for me. As I updated both sites&#8217; Coming Soon pages, I noticed that all eight of the wips are full length. I enjoy writing novellas, so I need to come up with a plot for a shortie. Any ideas?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003300;\">Industry News ~<\/span> Two bits of news this week. First, there&#8217;s news that the new Kindle OS will be compatible with HTML5, which is great news because that means the new Kindles will be able to read epub books with a lot fewer formatting issues. Also, how would you like a virtual bookstore that looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6GqhJDPi-Ug\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Pretty cool huh? Makes the virtual bookstore a more visual thing.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003300;\">Search Term of the week aka How People Found My Websites ~ \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>A couple surfers found my website by searching for &#8220;erotic riding&#8221; I suppose it&#8217;s a typo, but it could be a very interesting visual.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Something-New-ebook\/dp\/B00439GKGW\/?tag=alannacoca-20\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2588 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/alannacoca.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/CamDan_SomethingNew_coverlg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #003300;\">What I\u2019m reading ~<\/span> Nothing new this week, but I did re-read a book by Cameron Dane, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Something-New-ebook\/dp\/B00439GKGW\/?tag=alannacoca-20\" target=\"_blank\">Something New<\/a>. It&#8217;s a really good erotic menage with suspense elements.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A product of foster care, survivor Abby Gaines shields her heart and doesn\u2019t believe in romance or love. Not even for Rodrigo Santiago and Braden Crenshaw, the two men &#8212; friends &#8212; starring in her erotic fantasies.<\/p>\n<p>Tough-as-nails Rodrigo wants Abby with a passion. Just being near her makes him hard. To hide his desire, Rodrigo trades barbs and challenges everything Abby says. Rodrigo\u2019s secret? Recently, someone else has begun arousing heterosexual Rodrigo\u2019s libido too. Another man. Braden Crenshaw.<\/p>\n<p>Bisexual, Braden has bounced between men and women in affairs that never last. He\u2019s tired of hurting people but has never believed m\u00c3\u00a9nage relationships can work&#8230;until Abby and Rodrigo make him start aching for something new.<\/p>\n<p>When Abby begins dreaming of her parents\u2019 brutal double murder, the visions unearth new elements that make Abby question everything she thought she knew about the crime. Once Braden and Rodrigo discover the nightmares haunting Abby, they vow to help her find answers to mystery and love whether she wants their assistance or not.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cameron is one of my favorite contemporary authors. There&#8217;s not a single book of hers that I read only once, and I&#8217;m loving her shift toward RS.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003300;\">Hero Quote ~\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>From Alanna&#8217;s first novel, Wyoming Solace&#8211;Cody Campbell:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou can rest now, Elise. No one will hurt you here.\u201d \u00c2\u00a0He spoke against her hair, not wanting to relinquish his position. \u201cFor once&#8230;just rest.

Apparently I&#8217;m not the only one. When one of the band members made this video as a gift to the man in the video, it went viral. I can&#8217;t say that the video helped launch the band, but it sure didn&#8217;t hurt.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vr3x_RRJdd4\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Beautiful, huh?
