Loco Motion has been released as an ebook—finally. It takes a while for it to show up at all retailers. Check your favorite, or go here for several links to where it has already gone live. Oh, and the paperback will hopefully be available before year’s end. Oh, and we promise to keep stomping in her head. Twenty-four and counting…
With all that said… Be smart. Be safe. Be a b-word if you have to.
Sentinels, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 19 just got released in our bookstore! Woohoo! It is forthcoming to the other retailers and paperback.
Here are the particulars…
Blurb: Eager to spend Christmas at Crappie Cabin, Holly arm-twists everyone into trying to outrun a snowstorm. Even after they arrive, though, it’s still a matter of survival. But, this is the DWD! Come hell or frozen water, nothing will hamper their holiday!
Smooched will be available as an ebook in the LAC bookstore tomorrow! Now, we’ll start irritating her with LAC 16 ideas!
Okay, you pencil drummers and foot tappers, LAC 14 will be released as an ebook on Tuesday, March 27. It will be here in the LAC bookstore, and the paperback will be available in early April.
There’s a link in the menu to sample chapters if you want to whet your appetite.
Okay, that post title sounds horrid … unless you happen to know that Book 13 is Sutures. Since you’re hanging out at the DWD blog, it’s probably safe to assume that you do.
Anyway, the ebook will be unofficially released tomorrow. You can get it in the LAC bookstore. The paperback will be officially released in January 2012.
There’s a link over yonder to the sample chapters. The book cover is below. Click it for the big one.
And, between you and me… She lopped off the epilogue she had nearly finished, claiming it was nonessential to the story. However, it’s essential to me, so I will see what I can do about getting her to finish it. She should hand it over to you as an outtake if nothing else.
While Sutures will be getting an official 2012 release date, the author has been busting butt to get it ready. She’s hoping to release it unofficially to you chomping-at-the-bit ones before Christmas. I’m figuring this Thursday or Friday. Check back with your little DWD elves to find out for certain.
Laura’s League, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 12 will be released as an ebook on Wednesday in our bookstore. The paperback will be out sometime in May. Go, DWD!
Here’s the cover. Soon, all you crabbing head counters with the LAC calendar will know what it means.
Ladies and gentlemen, make sure you’re sitting down!
The author has finally finished a first draft, but it is not Laura’s book. No siree, Sam, it is Laura’s League, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 12.
I have no clue how long it will take her to do edits. Her goal was to have it out this month, but I’m not sure she’ll pull that off. But still, it’s close! I will keep you posted on our prodding and her progress.
In the meantime, here’s the prologue I swiped. I have a feeling she would eviscerate me if I took more of this one, so I will behave … unless, of course, the edits take her too long.
Claudia lay on my chest, and her hand rested on my belly. With my arm around her, I pulled her a bit closer as I tried to spy the moon—even a star would do—through our porch’s glass ceiling. Nothing. Not a goddamn thing but darkness.
“Are you sure we should be here?” Susan asked from her spot on the other end of the porch.
“Of course you should be here,” Claudia answered without hesitation. “It’s a Lesbian Adventure Club day. Of course you should be here. We all should be here.”
“I just don’t want to make anything worse,” she responded.
“Me, either,” Alison said.
Claudia repeated, “We all should be here.”
“Then maybe we shouldn’t be lying together as couples,” Janice suggested.
For that one, Claudia did not have a response at the ready. I didn’t either, but I knew I was precisely where I needed to be. I withdrew my attention from the celestial ceiling and kissed her forehead.
“Let’s just see how it goes,” she finally said. “We’ll know what to do.”
Quiet overtook the room, and yet, I sensed great activity, as though the churning of minds became a tactile thing.
In an ominous whisper, Alison asked, “Things aren’t going to change, are they?”
“No.”
“No.”
“No way.”
“If they do, it will be for the better.”
I didn’t have a response for that one either. Things had already changed, and I loathed it. But we’d need time before it became obvious whether we happened upon a nasty bump in the road or truly went off the edge of a cliff.
“Being here like this ensures they won’t change,” Claudia said and then repeated, “We all should be here.”
“But that’s the problem: We all can’t be here.”
A thick silence oozed over us.
She took to stroking my arm, and I focused on the sensation.
After a moment, she inquired, “Anybody know what time it is?”
“Ten to nine,” Maggie told her.
“Twenty minutes until she gets here,” she distractedly said.
Twenty minutes: the blink of an eye and an eternity; desired and dreaded; real-world ticking in a place that proved surreal.
I pulled her closer, and we bided the passage of time.
The eleventh book in the series about our crew, narrated by yours truly, will be released in ebook form on Monday the 25th. As with the majority, the ebook will be available exclusively from our bookstore. It’ll be $7.99, and the paperback should be out in early November.
The author says she’ll be taking some time for herself before delving back into the rigors of book-writing. We have agreed to hush for a bit; the author is learning that if she leaves us in a pleasurable place, we’re more apt to stay put. Where Stalemates ends, I could stay indefinitely.
However, I suspect that the author may have a big-talker streak like someone else we know and love (ahem). If I were a gambling sort of girl, I’d wager that she will be dressing up as a writer even before Halloween.
OFF THE RECORD: She has a nice chunk of LAC 12 already completed; although, I think she’ll be writing it in tandem with another Laura mystery. Stay tuned!
Yes, we have survived another LAC weekend. Finally. Go, us!
The author has a first draft of Stalemates, and we’re hoping for a release later this month or early November. I rather like where the book left us, so I think we shall be quite content here while she sees about editing … as long as she doesn’t edit us off the pages, that is.
