The Year in Review

Thanks to everyone for making 2011 an awesome year! This includes all the wonderful authors who were nice enough to play guest for me as well as all my readers.

This past year saw the publication of Twice Is Not Enough, Slave to Innocence (Sins of Sybaris), Tempting Terms, Not Just Friends, Riding Rodeo (Cowboy Kink) and Time-lost Love. (These are all short stories. If you total the word count, I published about 60K last year.)

I was amazed and humbled when Twice is Not Enough passed 1000 copies sold. A heartfelt thanks to all those who purchased it and those who will purchase it. (There is a sequel in the works, and I hope to have it finished in January.)

Also, I was flattered to receive a lovely piece of fan mail from a German reader on Slave to Innocence. This tale was my first departure from the norm since it's predominantly F/F. My goal was to show that love can pass all boundaries and takes many forms. In the New Year, I hope to see my first M/M published. It contains a similar message as well.

Riding Rodeo was my first foray into menage world, and since it was just published in November, I don't have a solid grasp of how it's sales are doing. However, sales aren't the driving force behind the stories I write, the characters are, and I have another menage in the works I hope to submit in the coming year.

Book 3 of Mates of the Guardians: His Capture, Her Rescue is slotted to release in the new year. I believe it will come out in March, but I'll post more when I have a firm date. I'll also be releasing Blood Sword, the first story in a fantasy serial, in the early months of 2012 under the pen name L. J. Maisen.

Finally, I'll be kicking the new year off with a series of interviews featuring unconventional heroines. I hope you'll stop by!

Happy New Year!
