New covers, stories, faeries and print editions

I finished the faerie meets cop/rancher story and I really had a lot of fun with it. I'm liking the fantasy world more and more. It ended up being a bit longer than I planned. I planned for a 80 page short and it's actually about 100 pages, 32k words. And, as I'm writing the story, people starting popping up and other stories are asking to be told. Doesn't that just figure?

So, I am probably changing the cover, and the title and this will be part of a Faerie Series, not sure what it's called yet. This is actually book 2, because Lilja's sister in the book popped up, one of those things, and her story happened before she meets Lilja....so I am going to write book 1 in February. I really want to write Book 3 though, because that is Lilja's friend who suddenly became really important....

So, from about Jan 1 to January 30, I wrote the 32k words. Did my own NaNoWriMo challenge. So I'm planning the same for February, with either Book 1 or Book 3. I'm thinking there's going to be 4 or 5 books in this series. We shall see.

Also, I'm having my Women of Character contemporary  romance (4) covers all updated. I'm very excited and using Steph's Cover Design. She does fantastic covers. Check her out. And very reasonable too!

And last but not least, I am toying with the idea of printed books. They will be available through Amazon. First book up -- with new cover, will be Echoes from the Past. Will post info when I have it. I've just learned how to format for CreateSpace, a nifty tutorial by India Drummond on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FzvtxK686c

Yes, my work is posted on Smashwords.  It is free for the month of November. Keep in mind this is rough draft Treasure So Rare. Romance time travel. Right now I'm at 23,000 words.

NaNoWriMo in Progress

Well, I decided to join the NaNoWriMo bandwagon for the month of November. Write 50k words on a novel in 30 or so days. I'm working on the last book in the time travel trilogy, Treasure so Rare. So it's a good jump start and this may just bring the book out a few months earlier than I planned in 2013, depending how it goes and then after final copy edits are done. If you'd like more info about this process, NaNoWriMo Writing Challenge

If you'd like to follow my progress, later in the day I will begin uploading my draft manuscript in progress to Smashwords. I will check back in when it is live on my page and post a link.

It will have a special NaNoWriMo designation and will be free for the month of November as I progress. Here is my Smashwords page: Grace Brannigan on Smashwords

The book in progress will be FREE for the month of November. Remember, this is the very rough first draft. At the least you can see how I work on my novels. Fascinating, eh? So, stop in, read for free, read new drafts as they are uploaded. Tell your friends. Only for November.

Short, Sweet Romance

I'm currently doing a little side job and will be posting a short, sweet romance story. I'm waiting on the cover right now. It's a story I had worked on years ago and I ran across it this week, so I thought I'd go through it again, polish it up and put it out there. Title will be Two Babies, a Cowboy and Sara. It will be about 30k words and available on Smashwords and Amazon Kindle.

Soulmates Through Time Small excerpt

Soulmates Through Time, Small excerpt, Grace Brannigan copyright 2012
"My dear that is probably the first true word you have spoken since your arrival. It is all a lie." He walked to the door, his head and shoulders stiffly set.
 "Darien," Elise was unable to stem the heartbreak which cracked her voice, "please say you will wait to marry." He moved further away from her. "You know you cannot."
 "Lawyers can make all kinds of things go away." Darien flung the door open and strode angrily through it, out the hallway and up the stairs to the second level.
 Taking the stairs two at a time, he heard the echoing reverberations as the door hit the wall. At the top landing he paused, the pain and anger which he had kept inside all these years so unbearable he felt like weeping, something he hadn't done since he was a boy.
 Straightening his shoulders, he entered his suite of rooms, carelessly closing the door with his heel. He reached for the decanter, tilting the glass so the light filtered through the sparkling liquid, turning it a deep, rich reddish brown, exactly the color of her hair . . ..
 With a low growl, Darien flung it away from him, sinking down into a chair, unmindful of the glass shattering, whiskey running down the wall like rivulets of blood.
