All work and no play...
News flash, I stalk my reviews... I'm grateful for anything anyone writes about my work- good or bad.
That said, I'm so excited by the feedback I'm getting on the Professor. It's always scary trying to work in a new genre, but this series has been so much fun.
I've written more in the month of June then I usually do and it's all because of the possessive Dom whispering his story in my ear at all hours of the day.
Cool things are happening behind the scenes and I should have some interesting news soon.
In the meantime, I'm working on finishing up Drama Free 2003 and getting it into editing and finishing up The Student for its early July release.

The Professor
I just finished my first draft of the Professor and have sent it to my proofreader/editor, Didi! I'm hoping to have it up on Amazon and everywhere earlier than my June 14th goal.
Please add it to your TBR list on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17997560-the-professor
It is about 80 pages long, or 23k words and is my first foray into the erotica genre. It will be a short 4 book series and has been so much fun to get out. I've never written anything as quickly as I finished this novella. I write part-time, meaning about 20k words a month. I was able to finish this book in just under two weeks.
I hope you all enjoy it!

Soul searching answer...
After much deliberation, I've decided NOT to use a separate pen name when releasing "The Professor" next month. Please be aware that this novella (I'm planning on less than 20k words) is straight up erotica. While it will also be considered contemporary, it is DEFINITELY book porn.
Synopsis:
When Sabrina Carson's daydream in class leads her to ask her Professor to tutor her after hours, she knew what she was really asking. She knew what she wanted, and with the help of her roommate, she even knew how to go for it. She only questioned whether he'd be receptive to her advances.
Professor Areleon didn't know why he'd already been drawn to Sabrina since her first day of class. When she asks for help, he decides it's time to explore her hold over him. After she is late for their appointment, he learns exactly what Sabrina is capable of, and hopes that his burning desire to possess her doesn't bring him and everything he's ever worked for down around him.

News! And a question...
Last week was a very, very, very crazy week for me. I released Love, but Never to Smashwords and Amazon:
Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/318048
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Love-but-Never-ebook/dp/B009YJXY6K/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_3_K69B
And on Thursday, I hosted my last promo day for The Weakness in Me. The day went viral and I gave away THOUSANDS of copies, where I normally give away a few hundred. The entire thing was completely surreal to me. I want to thank everyone that picked it up and has rated and reviewed it on Amazon and Goodreads.
I'm in the process of finishing up a few things: 1. Drama Free 2003- I'm finally in the home stretch of the first draft of this book. I'm really loving writing it. It's told in alternating first person perspective, which is totally new for me. 2. Getting further on Never #2, Lucian's book and 3. a novella that is begging me to spend more and more time with it, and ignoring my other two current works in progress.
My Question for the masses is... there is NO question that this novella will be erotica- straight up. And if you've read my books, you know that while I write a few sex scenes throughout the book, they are plot driven, rather than sexually driven. I am toying with the idea of releasing the Novella under a different pen name. Do you think releasing it under the Josie name will cause confusion or should I release is under another pseudonym? Email me, comment, let me know what you think! I'm also looking for people who want to read the first 2000 words!

Finally! A re-release date!
If all goes according to plan, I want to re-release Love, but Never on May 22nd. Feedback is starting to come in from readers and I'm making adjustments where the questions overlap. I'm excited to have this book available again, because it's so much more than it was previously.
Anyone who already purchased a copy of this novel, prior to April 26th, 2013, please send me a screen cap of your invoice (personal info hidden, of course) via email and I will be HAPPY to send you an updated copy, since it'll take Amazon 6 weeks to offer a draft update to customers.
This time around, the pain is deeper, the sex is hotter, and Marissa journey is who she is and what she wants is faster. And Aaron is SO much more. Yes, John is still John, but not everything can change, can it?
Other housekeeping information, I'm hoping to be done with the first draft of Drama Free 2003 by the end of the month, but by June 13th at the absolute LATEST and will be looking for betas! I'm also working on Lucian's book and a down and dirty professor/student erotic encounter. Keep up with the blog to get updates on those projects.
I'll leave you with a song from my writing soundtrack for Love, but Never. This song is EVERYTHING Marissa feels about herself through the majority of this book: Ugly, by the Smashing Pumpkins- the song is haunting, sad, and shows how much Marissa grows by the end of the book.
