Spring Has Sprung Into Summer

Friday, June 20, 2025

Hello, my lovelies!

Spring has not only sprung, it's led us right to summer, which starts today. The weather warmed up, other than the mini-monsoon that tore through last night, and it feels like summer. So thankful for that.

This week has been and exciting one for me. Lots going on personally and professionally. Biggest thing this week is the series I outlined - Tequila Tales - and then uploaded all the covers to Amazon. I even set up pre-orders for them, with the first in the series, Kneading His Heart, set to publish on August 5, 2025.

Tequila Tales has four main books in the series, but I am writing a fifth one as a reader magnet. Securing His Future, will be a free download meant to draw readers into the sexy, sassy world of Cedarvale's single women

.

This first book was so much fun to write and the rest of them are shaping up to be along the

same lines. And look at those covers… sexy, right? <swoon> Consider this your first peek at the

new covers. I’m pretty proud of them.

Did I tell you I design my own covers? I have improved my designing skills over the past few years. When I first embarked on my Indie publishing journey, I didn't dream of doing my own covers. Now I wouldn’t dream of getting someone else to do it. Well, not yet, anyway. One

day I may have the resources to hire out cover designing.

One more read through of Book 1 and I will begin writing Book 2, Staking His Claim, once I have published my sapphic short story collection. I want to have it up and out to the masses to commemorate Pride Month.

And here’s the cover for that one. I’m gonna put it up on KindleUnlimited, so you can read it there.

To be published June 26, 2025

Now… in my non-writing life… the biggest change will come in September. When I go to University for Journalism and Media Studies. It’ll be the first time in far too long - decades - that I will be stepping into a classroom for my education and not my children’s. Excitement and terror share top spot these days. But I'm gonna get it done and make my kids proud of me.

So think of me on September 2nd. I will be the one running around like a chicken with its head cut off as I try to navigate, document, and support five first days of school. For my children in grades 2, 4, 9, and 12 and for me, the University Freshman. It’s the right answer, but still terrifying. On so many levels.

This summer, I will be focused on finishing up this series, getting us all organized for school,

and setting up a schedule of some kind for new releases. Those I’ll have to try and slip in

amongst my schoolwork. Which, I must confess, sounds odd. Only schoolwork I've had to deal with for years was my kids' and now it'll mine again. <gulp>

All right, loves, those writing projects wait for no one. Not even for me. Until we meet again, I will continue to be your Sassy Queen of Smut. I

appreciate you all more than you know. Y’all make the writing world go’round, babes. Keep that shit up.

Until next time, my lovelies,

GG
