Never, ever, ever, ever

This is what I feel like right now.  I am hurting...like a lot... and I am trying to write the Wife, but I don't want to give you guys a half-assed piece of writing as the last book in something I've had such a blast writing. So I'm going to take my time to make sure I do it right.

I have Crohn's disease and I've been diagnosed since 2003. I've enjoyed remission since 2006, but right now I am having a nasty flare- my worst in years. And severe abdominal pain is not conducive to writing hot sex. I'm sure you'll agree. When you are in pain, sex is probably the furthest thing from your mind. What I can write, currently, is caring and nurturing in a good relationship, because I can honestly say that I have the most amazing and understanding husband. But then, he's been on this Crohn's journey with me since the beginning and knows my limitations and doesn't try to push me. He's so supportive. So if in 6-9 months, I have a book about an incredibly patient and supportive hero, know that he was my inspiration.

All that said, I'm hoping that the writing Gods will be kind to me and let me get this last installment to you by September 13th at the latest. Just because I'm having trouble writing doesn't mean that I'm not getting anything down. I'm at about 6,000 words, even though I was hoping to be closer to 14,000 by now.

Good news is that after weeks and weeks of trying to convince Amazon to price match the Professor with Smashwords and Barnes and Noble, it is FINALLY free in the US and Canada:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Professor-ebook/dp/B00D9C6J6U/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377728707&sr=1-4

http://www.amazon.ca/The-Professor-ebook/dp/B00D9C6J6U/ref=sr_1_6?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1377728760&sr=1-6

Better news is that I've been working on Drama Free 2003 and it should be out sometime next month, too!

Dance season starts soon for my youngest, so I'll be spending too much time at the dance studio and in hotel ballrooms. Look out for a flurry of new material!

Trying to make the Professor Free on Amazon

Currently, the Professor is available for free on Smashwords http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/323950#longdescr
and Barnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-professor-josie-leigh/1115533111?ean=2940044616820

I am trying to go through the process to get it free on Amazon, too, but it's taking FOREVER! Please let Amazon know! Go Here http://www.amazon.com/The-Professor-ebook/dp/B00D9C6J6U/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377043354&sr=1-3#_ and under the sale rank, and above the reviews, there is a link that says "Tell us about a lower price" if you click that and input the links from one of the sites that has the book for free, Amazon will lower the price.
Thank you for your help!

Coming very soon, The Widow

I'm so close to the end of The Widow I can see the finish line!

Here is the blurb for the book:

Finally able to publicly declare their relationship has brought Damien and Sabrina closer than they ever thought possible. After a tense New Year’s Day breakfast, Damien secures her father’s permission to explore his connection with his student. He takes immediate advantage by demanding a true full time relationship with his sub, including sharing his bed nightly. As the pair truly begin to navigate the trials and tribulations of a new relationship, Celeste is waiting for her opportunity to strike when they are most vulnerable.

Celeste wanted to have it all. If she could get Damien in her back pocket, her future would be secure. However, the Professor’s relationship with Sabrina ruined everything she’d been working toward since her husband passed away. Facing the possibility of jail, Celeste forms a new plan. A plan to sacrifice Damien’s future for her freedom, but has she trusted the wrong people to see her plan through?

A Drama Free update: the release of Drama Free is being pushed back. Because of my work on the Professor series, I haven't been able to get the manuscript to a point I'm happy with. But rest assured, it will be out soon, too.
