Monday Brain - Inaugural Edition

Oh, hey *waves* I'm terrible at starting traditions, especially when it's blog related. Remember Man Crush Monday and Woman Crush Wednesday on the blog? Yeah, me neither. Let's try something new. Something different. How about I use Monday's to expunge what sitting in my brain; What I'm thinking, what I'm feeling ... and hope somebody (anybody) cares. Of course, I'll try my hardest to keep this literary world related, but no promises. If Monday posts read like a teen girls diary entry, or a valley girl from Southern California, I apologize in advance. I blame Monday brain. It's the brain that takes over when I've been drinking too much, or I'm not yet caffeinated. Yep.

First thing I want to announce is I totally have another book coming out this year. It's almost finished, and I'm in love with it. It's become more fun and amazing than I could have hoped for! I'm so excited to get this book to you! This is a humorous erotica novel titled, Fahrenheit. There is as much comical flare as there is sex. How fun is that? ;) It was supposed to be a novella, but word counts have been my thing. It's definitely a full length novel and will probably round out at about 60K words. Also, something to know is my hope is that this will be a series about different characters that are involved with what you'll find out is Fahrenheit.

A little bit about this project...
FAHRENHEIT.
RELEASING: September 22nd
It's about a woman who wants a promotion to journalist at the magazine she works at. Currently, she's the chief editor but seeks more spice. Her boss doesn't want to lose her in that role so she gives her the impossible task that she thinks prude, Lauren Michaels, won't be able to accomplish--investigating the fetish underworld of Los Angeles. Not willing to fail, this assignment leads Lauren to not only the deliciously enigmatic Nathan Sanders, but also an invite to the nightclub FAHRENHEIT that everyone talks about, but no one knows anything about. All she knows is that it's a club that's only about sex, and it's the center piece to the article she needs. Read the synopsis on Goodreads [here] and don't forget to add it to your 'to-be-read' list!

The cover reveal for FAHRENHEIT is scheduled for July 20th with Between the Sheets Promotions. This cover reveal will include preorder links, too! I'll also be giving away ARC's of the book. More info to come!

[UPDATE 7/29 2:05PM: July 20th Cover Reveal Sign Up Link is Here: http://bit.ly/1C2HEVv]

**Something to note: FAHRENHEIT will be released at a promotional price of $0.99 for about a week before the price goes up to $2.99.

OH! My agent is currently in the process of pitching the sequel to TRYST, tentatively titled ENDEAVOR [add this sequel to your Goodreads here], and is also pitching a separate standalone novel. Hopefully I will have more news on these projects in the upcoming month!

Will anyone be in Vegas July 17th - 20th? I'll be attending LOVE N VEGAS Book Convention as fangirling reader. I'm so excited! I'll be meeting up with my editor bestie, Dani Crabtree [looking to get your next novel edited? check her out!]. She's flying in from Oregon and we can't wait to get bookish-nerdy, and relax poolside with margaritas for three days! If you'll be a around, shoot me a message! I can't wait to see some of my favorite authors at this event! My signed book collection is getting intense.

I also want to extend my sincere gratitude and send out tons of hugs to everyone who made the TRYST 99¢ sale an utter success! You guys are awesome! Thank you to everyone who shared, did a giveaway, tweeted, posted, or just talked about it. You're all so awesome! I'd be nowhere without you, and that's a fact

*taps-chin* what else do i have to expunge from my brain?

Non-writing related ... I'm currently obsessed with the movie Kingsman only because it has my old man crush: Colin Firth, and a new hot guy crush: Taron Egerton. The movie is both fun action, and funny, while still providing eye candy. I may or may not admit that I've been watching this almost everyday.

Alright, I DID IT.
I did a Monday post! *throws confetti*

P.S. Newsflash. The almighty coffee gods have imparted a new delectable summer coffee onto the minions of their rule that i must get ahold of. It's called NitroBrew and it's infused with Nitrogen. Say what, right? Part of me feel like this makes absolutely NO sense, and then the other part of me is stoked like nobodies business. Buzzfeed shows me the way, and you can read more about my next obsession [here]


With lot's of book-nerdy love, thanks for reading <3
