I got my rights back on two sports novellas a little while ago when they went under. Amazon took out a lot of great small presses and I am super sad about it.
The first of my two sports novellas is a baseball player who meets a person who coordinates wishes for sick and dying children. It’s a different sides of the tracks story. That includes a crazy relative who is determined to break them up.
Even when they move to get away from crazy, well, they can’t run far enough or fast enough. Crazy decides to follow them. Then their world gets upended when sabotage of a kind that can destroy reputations and careers.
Only their grit, determination, and huge dose of good luck can they overcome the obstacles that a crazed relative places in their path. Will they strike out or do they have the makings for a Grand Slam home run? Only time will tell.
So, the novellas were originally about 25K or so, give or take a 1K or two. I’ve added about 30K words to them. I’ve just finished spell-checking them. Once I do another read through, I will send it off to an editor. Hopefully, good things will happen editing process. I want a good editor because this will be the beginning of me trying to publish my own stuff. I am hoping that this having been published makes it easier to make that happen.
I am also on the hunt for a good contemporary cover designer. I like this cover. I like have a little tagline on it. I want this book and the next one I am expanding to have the same cover as any others I might do in this series. The next book is called HAT TRICK and centers Emma from Book 1 and Silas, who plays soccer. And the names for my third book is HAKA AND HOOKERS. It’s about a rugby player with a big secret and a doctor who’s too old for him and should know better.

In other news, I am STILL waiting to hear back on my Paranormal Romance with shifter and vampires and witches and stuff. It’s an Otherkind universe book and the beginning of all the sides being drawn between the normals and the Otherkind. In the end, will finding out that they are more alike than different be the catalyst for new understanding? Or will it portend the beginning of the end for one side or the other?
I am still working on my Contemporary Suspenseful Thriller. It’s set in Atlanta with some hot guys who drive hot rods, race hot cars, and customized hot rides. Events that seem unrelated turn out to be super related. The thrill ride turns from fun in the sun to dangerous cliff drop-offs in four seconds flat. Can they keep their woman and themselves safe enough to ride into the sunset or will it be lights out?
