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 seriesthat'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...

Classy, Crafty, and Super Sassy

After releasing two books in the span of two months, I've been doing a bunch of different things. Some of it is working on what I've been calling my "Top Secret Project." I think it's gonna be a trilogy, taking place on a new team. I'm trying to get the entire trilogy ready for a quick release schedule. If I can manage it, I'll have it out by the end of the year, but no guarantees! I've also been enjoying my summer! Last year, I felt like I had wasted my summer. I didn't want that to happen this year. So I instituted Pool Day, which was every Wednesday at the community pool (weather permitting, of course). I went to see one of my favorite bands, Jimmy Eat World. I went to the zoo with my friend and her little one. I've already been to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival once, and I'm sure I will be going again. What else? I've tackled a huge project that's been sitting on my shelf for far too long. What's that...

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...
