Hey! I said I would pass on the release date when I found it out, aaaaand then I forgot. I am such fail. I can't even tell you. Tsk.

JULY 7. IT'S JULY 7. THE RELEASE DATE IS JULY 7. (Oh right the poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco. Kuzco's poison.)

Sorry about that. However, I've been informed that pre-ordering is possible. Which is good, because Dreamspinner sent me about twenty sheets to sign to put in the paperback copies. Now I just have to actually sign them. IDK. If I were Rhoades, and I were signing a book, I would sign with something smart and classical and Greek. If I were Wicklow, I'd probably just slash an "X" and be done with it. (Yes, I make things too complicated. I should just sign my name. But where is the fun in that?) I signed A Boy and His Dragon as if I were Bertie autographing books. Why can't Rhoades sign some books?

Still with me? Sorry. Scattered thinking today. But um, yes, July 7 for the release date. July 12 for my Meet the Author thing on Goodreads (not nervous about that at all oh wait I am actually incredibly nervous and trying not to think about it.)

In other news, Dreamspinner has a new Author Arcade feature going up, in which you can access information about the author more easily, including links to social media and all that. I haven't filled out my profile yet (shocker) but I will. :)

I also submitted a novella-ish Being(s) in Love story a few weeks ago. So hopefully they will want that and soon you will get to read about the baking werewolf in love. Then I am finishing up getting Little Wolf ready for submission (which, okay I just want it done). This exciting!! Even if, somehow, it ended up at about 360 pages. (!!!) This is too many pages. I know this. It's a nightmare and yet they are so cute and precious to me. We will see.

To recap: July 7. July 12. Arcade thing. A Beginner's Guide to Wooing Your Mate. Little Wolf.


And um, sorry about my crazy. Here:

Tim watched Nathaniel take another steadying breath, then quickly glanced away when Nathaniel opened his eyes again. Tim wondered if he knew how Tim had been studying him, because his voice was as warm as his scent. “May I touch you?”

Tim had to be hearing things wrong. He tugged at his ears. “What? You’re asking to touch me?” He recognized that Nathaniel was trying to respect his feelings but that wasn’t a request Tim could be expected to answer calmly. He licked his mouth. “Yeah okay, sure, why not?” He could do breezy, really. Breathless-breezy, tense with anticipation-breezy. “Knock yourself out, you beautiful weirdo.”

Nathaniel crossed the rest of the space and stopped in front of him. Then he reached out and let his palm rest on Tim’s neck. “Beautiful weirdo?” he echoed, almost tenderly, and Tim pulled in a quiet breath. Nathaniel brushed his hand up over Tim’s throat, his fingertips trailing over Tim’s skin before he took his hand away.

Ooooooo. *pre-orders* :DDDD I'm so excited!

And Little Wolf is getting me excited. From all that you've talked about it before, I can't wait to read it all.

And really, I would not argue against 360 pages of your writing. Usually I always feel slightly sad and bereft when I get to the end, because its the end. It then devolves into reading your other things to try make it last just that much longer.


Cute snippet is cute. <3

Okay that is good to know. Because I have been freaking out about how long the story ended up being. My reader was like no, the slow build works, but it just seemed too long/a big ole mess. :)

Only 10 more days!!!!!!

I was staring at my download page on DSP's website today...if I stare hard enough, do you think it will accidentally let me download Wicklow and Rhoades now? I'm so excited!!!!

You know I am a HUGE fan of the Being(s) stories. More pages = Happy Kristi! I'm so glad you still feel like writing more...I feel like the novella is a bonus that Tim and Nathaniel are giving us by being so so so stubborn.

The novella *is* a bonus! It was never meant to be... but they are so very cute. I kind of feel like they would be the most precious couple ever I wish I had done more of them now.

(Whenever people get excited for one of my things, I kind of panic that they are going to get too excited and I will let them down, and I never know how to react, so... I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!! *runs away*)

I agree that more of your writing can only be a good thing. I, too, like to wallow in your previous writings when your books end because I feel sad that they're over. So, Little Wolf can't come fast enough for me.

Mega excited to know that Beginner's Guide has been submitted, too! I really hope Dreamspinner want to publish it, because, of course, I want to buy it already.

I pre-ordered Rhoades and Wicklow as soon as I had some money to spare, so just in time for the 25% discount Dreamspinner have going for their 1000th paperback release. I hope that doesn't affect your earnings, mate? But I've had the 7th of July marked in my mental diary as soon as you announced the date, so I can't wait!

Hmm it probably affects my earnings, but whatever. A sale is a sale, amirite? Unless it's a book sale, and then it's muthaflippin' BOOK SALE. They cannot be denied. :)

For me, there cannot be too many pages of a Beings story. I love the two I've read, and can't wait for more!

Who said 360 pages are too much?! Don't believe anyone who claims something like that, don't do that ... just downloaded pre-ordered Wicklow - right in time after I finished Ideas of Sin last week ... and did I already mention that 360 pages are not too much?

I do so agree with xelloss_poo.

Ok if you guys think so, I guess I could submit it without trying to edit it down some more. Or split it up. :)

wooooooo!!
