2015 Update

How is it possible that 2015 is halfway over? Perhaps I should think of it as an optimist would: there's still six months left in 2015. I should make the most of these next six months!
So far this year, I've managed to get Play the Man re-released with its new cover. Now, all my novels are available as both eBooks and paperbacks! As an author, let me tell you, there's nothing better than seeing your name in print!


My other big accomplishment was getting "A Valuable Trade" released independently. This was my submission to Seduced by the Game, the cancer charity anthology that raised over $18,000 for Hockey Fights Cancer! Today was the release day; "A Valuable Trade" is available (exclusively as an eBook) from the following vendors and subscription services:
Also, I'm happy to announce that my eBooks have been released through a couple of new vendors, and all the purchase links are updated on this very blog. I like giving my readers options!
So what's on the agenda for the rest of the 2015?

Well, I'm currently devoting my writing time to the next installation of the Dallas Comets series—that's right, the Comets are getting their own series! For now, I'm keeping that title and hockey player to myself.

And lastly, yes, I'm still working on The Back Up, even if it is on the back burner (for now, at least). I have full intention of getting that novel published by the end of the year. I'm going to work as hard as I have to make sure that happens.

 If you haven't signed up for my newsletter, now would be a good time to do so, since I'll be sending out updates, sneak peeks, and giveaways that only subscribers will be privy to! The link is in the right-hand column, so don't be shy. The summer newsletter will be sent out any day now!

 Thanks for tuning in. See you next month,

 Jay

Hottie Hockey Hunks Blog Hop—GIVEAWAY!

Good morning, and happy hockey! Today is officially the start of the 2013-14 NHL season, and I for one couldn't be happier. Well, I'll be happier on Thursday when the Penguins play the Devils for the season opener, but I suppose I'm just being picky. Anyway. Have you ever heard of a blog hop? I hadn't—until I was invited to join one! So let me explain: bloggers with common interests unite to promote each other. So below, I have a link of seven other hockey romance writers you might be interested in. If you're familiar with me, then you've probably heard of Melanie Ting—a fellow writer who got her start in Blogger. But you should check out these other ladies and maybe find some new authors to enjoy! As a part of the Hottie Hockey Hunks Blog Hop , I'm sponsoring a giveaway (cue flashing lights! Cue trumpets!). I've decided to give a free copy of my new novel, Shots on Net , to one lucky reader who comments on this post! Please leave your e-mail addre...

Interview with Melanie Ting

Today I'm very happy to plug a fellow writer —and friend— Melanie Ting . She's authored some of my favorite hockey stories, including Fresh Air and How the Cookie Crumbles . Mel's climbing up the Amazon sales charts; if you haven't read her work yet, do yourself a favor and check her out! Mel took the time to talk to me about her writing and latest novel, her love of hockey, and of course, cats: What motivates you as a writer? What inspires you? I would say that real life inspires me. I love hearing the stories behind the athletes. When you read about a hockey player who struggled for years, undrafted and unwanted, before he made it to the NHL, that’s inspiring. Or if he’s just hot, well that’s inspiring in a different way. I also use things that happen to me in real life, as well as real people. In fact, if some of my friends read my novels, they’d probably kill me … slowly. But luckily, nobody I know likes hockey romances. ...

Autism Awareness Month Blog Hop

Autism Fact:    People from all nationalities and cultural, religious and social backgrounds can be autistic, although it appears to affect more men than women. I figured I’d be doing a good thing by participating in RJ Scott 's Autism blog hop and raising awareness about autism and living with the disability. But then I realized I didn’t know much about autism at all; I’ve never personally encountered someone who I knew was autistic or even on the spectrum. So how could I help raise awareness when I myself was barely aware of the stats and facts about autism? Realizing my ignorance, I reached out to a friend of mine who has a Masters in special education and has worked hands-on with autistic children—and she had tons to say about the developmental disability and how we approach it. Autistic individuals often are judged and even pitied. Adults blame meltdowns and tantrums on bad parenting. They are teased by their peers and ridiculed. Strangers stare at them. D...
