My writing life or It’s all a plot!

Here’s what I’m working on at the moment:

Marketing last year’s holiday anthologies. I have two novellas: Paradise Regained, historical fiction, in the Bluestocking Belles’ Follow Your Star Home, and Abbie’s Wish, a contemporary romantic suspense, in Christmas Wishes on Main Street.

Doing the final check of and marketing the next Belles’ box set, Valentines From Bath, which includes my Regency novella The Beast Next Door.

Writing the next novel in the Regency series The Golden Redepennings. Unkept Promises is around one third written. Earlier this week, I mapped the scenes to the darkest point, where all hope is lost.

Writing the made-to-order I gave away as a party prize at the Follow Your Star Home launch. The winner asked for a laird, a distant castle, and the enemies to lovers plot type. It turned out to be a medieval and begins with a nun sitting beside the bed of the knight who was wounded saving her life.

Writing, with Mariana Gabrielle (Mari Christie) the final chapters of Never Kiss a Toad, a Victorian saga about the children of her rake and mine from our Regency books. Their fathers catch the son of one in bed with the daughter of the other, and they are forcibly separated. At long last, after 76 chapters, they are back in England together. We’re posting a chapter at a time in Wattpad, and are currently posting chapter 68.

Rewriting The Bluestocking and the Barbarian, a Regency novella from the Belles’ Holly and Hopeful Hearts box set. I’m going to turn it into a novel, the first in a series about the children of a Duke who has been king in a remote central Asian kingdom.

Beginning the planning for the next two books in this series. (Hint: book three is about Aldridge.)

Planning a Regency novella for the next Belles’ box set. All the novellas will be about people who return to England for the reading of a will. There may be ghosts.

Planning a novel for a series by different authors with common elements. My hero is a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars. He was trained as an assassin and is now a contract killer. The heroine is either a Quaker or a Wesleyan, and a pacifist.

All of these are for publication this year, which I can manage if I get off the internet and write 2,000 words a day.
