I just wanna share these guys story with the world ASAP

I get my proof copies today and lemme tell you…I don’t wanna do nothing but crack those mf spines as soon as they get here.

#ThePyramidΔ be damned, I know I won’t be able to focus on work when I get that knock at the door.

Tracking says they’ll be here anywhere between 8-10

Several days, countless alterations of the outline, shifting scenes around & playing Dr. Frankenstein and I am the proud owner of a finished book.

𝙎𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙝.

These geighs ran me through the wringer. But it’s all done and I couldn’t be happier.

Now, it’s time for Book 2❗️

What if mourning that “would be” relationship is making space for you to discover a deeper love and understanding within yourself?

You've got to be seen green
To show that you're stuff's layed
If you're not seen green
You better be wearing jade

You've got to be dead red
You've got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht

The process of creating a fictional city while outlining & drafting the first book in a 3 book series has been…emotional.

I can’t wait to be done but I have made sure to enjoy every minute the ride.

Here’s to finishing these last few chapters of #ProjectLAO | #BVM

I've been away from the WIP for a few weeks. But I've been listening to a few chapters at a time, looking for cover artists, & building out the world.

& the WIP playlist being on repeat has helped keep my head in the game.

𝙽𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚢 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚔 is damn near a title track at this point.

I assumed this story would be under 90K & with only two more chapters left I’m feeling pretty good about that prediction.

I’m shaking at this milestone. Contemporary MM Romance for the win. It’s a lot of drama, misunderstandings, blood and Black men in love.

Because we consume so much media, most people can sense when something isn't "right," even if they don't have the language for it. That is what I love about being an author.

This man (this song) has been on my Black Vampire WIP playlist forever and a day.

I love this song so much that I end up playing the BV WIP playlist even when I’m working on my Contemporary Romance book (which has its own playlist) 😂

So I finished my book, I have the epilogue left but that’ll be finished in no time.

I was stressing about the cover for months, I don’t know what came over me but I did the Thanos "𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚎, 𝚒'𝚕𝚕 𝚍𝚘 𝚒𝚝 𝚖𝚢𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏" & it came out better than I expected.

Been #amediting for the last week. I’ve had to fight with myself to not read the book instead of actually editing.

One things for certain & two things for sure, I love these characters.

I think this ending is taking me so long because I don’t want it to end.

I am having a hell of a time writing & exploring both the characters and the city,

& even tho this is book 1 of 3 (I’ll have more time to explore) I just don’t want the party to end. Lol.

I'm speedin' down highways to make it to you. But there's too much traffic between us.

I promised I'd make my way right back to you. So set the table for two 'cause I'm comin' home

Stay up, baby
Stay up late for me
Would you stay up for me?
I'm comin' home
