Update that is. 

The galley for A Measure of Discipline has been returned and is scheduled for an October release. It's bit longer than my previous Taylor short stories, and while quite a bit more is revealed about his character, the hot is not left wanting.

My WIP is progressing, though more slowly than I'd like. I wanted to be done by now, but quality over quickness I guess. I've a long way to go, perhaps about half finished now. Taylor is a difficult complex character to write and Robbie isn't jumping up and down to make things easier. This book is challenging me at all levels. I love every second of it.

I am gearing up for the rewrite. I bought a couple books to help with self-editing and I'm studying those as I write so I'll be ready when the time is here. I notice thinking about editing helps with my writing. There are things I avoid doing in the first place since I know about them. How I wish that made first draft perfect.

I hope everyone is doing well and that all your dreams come true.

Iced has a blurb (official) and a fantasy cover by me (not so official). As a DSP daydream  Iced will have the official daydream cover but I got inspired last night and whipped up a display cover for it. Playing with hot boys is always such fun! Iced is scheduled for release in September. Iced is my second Taylor fic but the stories are stand alone.

It’s so hot out Taylor doesn’t even want to move; the last thing he needs is full body contact with another person. At least that what’s he thinks until Adam shows up with a bag of ice and a head full of scorching ideas that convince Taylor he’s going to melt faster than the ice.

Who am I? Well, my name is Diane Adams I live in the Southern US with my three children. I had four but I married one off and so she no longer counts. I have a regular job that I must go to each and every day when I'd so much rather be writing. I've published a couple short stories and have a couple more in the wings. I'm currently working on my first novel.

What's going on here? Well, I have a couple of free reads at my Live Journal, diane_adams, they are short but there is more to come. I hope there's going to be a contest here soon. One step at a time, Right now, I'm just glad to have this place up and running! For that not-so-small miracle I must thank Sara for her patient effort on the artwork for the layout and RJ Scott who answered my questions and never let me hear her laugh. I have the best friends ever!

Thank you for coming by, I hope to see you again soon.

I got the blurb for Iced today, which is exciting. It means I am that much closer to seeing it in print. I kinda love that story. I can't wait for everyone to get the chance to read it! I also got my first ever royalty statement, and well what can I say? Who doesn't like to get paid?? It's awesome to make money doing something I love so much. I love it so much I did it for free for years, now it's kinda of surreal. Maybe it'll settle in a bit more when I cash my first check. It was a good day today.

Where oh where will this appear?

Have a pretty so I didn't waste your time :)
