Pretty please, sugar and frosting on top.

Smooches, Gen.

Just an update…


I have a deadline to get these Second of All revisions out before Thanksgiving. SO, I will post the Liebster questions and nominations on Turkey Day probably. I haven’t forgotten, but if I want to get this book out by January, I have to be Good Gennie and focus.

And that’s what you guys want too, right? I’m very excited about this book. I hope you enjoy it in all its introspective yet passionate glory.

*smooches*

So you remember when I was kvetching about Cross-blogination? Here’s another one. Gemma’s blog is on Blogger mine is of course on WordPress, so I am sharing the link to her review of my book manually.

If you have a Google+ account give her some sugars!

My favorite part of the review is this: “The book doesn’t quite follow the rules of any specific genre – while the main theme is organised crime intertwined is a story of hatred, love and regret, which pleased me greatly. Some may say that you cannot have a story about warring Mafia families, crime and murder with stories of love thrown in, but I think in this instance it really worked.”

Aw, Hell, who am I kidding? I loved the whole thing! I’m so happy right now I could kiss the next seven people who walked up to me!

Q&A at #Goodreads?


Been thinking about doing an author Q&A at Goodreads along with the giveaway next month. Would any of you be willing to show up and ask questions so I don’t talk to myself? LOL

And thank you again and again for all the support! Keep getting the word out about The Bird Day Battalion! Thanksgiving is only a week away!

And by the way? Jay Ryan? Besides being mega HAWT, he’s almost exactly how I pictured Tommy Gates writing him in First, I Love You only with green eyes. So the next time you read Tommy looking at someone through the fringes of his hair…say in Second of All…hint hint…here ya go:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not watching Beauty and the Beast? You really should. And not just because Jay Ryan periodically takes his shirt off and is super buff and broody and dark and dangerous…mmnnnnn… but because it’s also a good police procedural.

LOL

Book Description:

One part The Godfather, two parts Emma, and a dash of Casablanca, served straight up!

‘First, I Love You’ is the first novel in the Downey Trilogy exploring the powerful bonds of family, friendship, and love. After having spent most of his life voiding his father, OmahaDetective Tommy Gates takes an opportunity to work his first big Federal case in Chicago, the same city where his father, retired mobster Mickey Downey now lives. While battling the increasing meddling of his sister Kiki Downey and his coworkers, Tommy struggles with taking the risk of letting his father into his heart when his
worldview is everything Tommy stands against. Just as he is beginning to navigate these issues of family, loyalty and trust, his personal and professional lives collide in a way that could threaten…

This and That


Ok so the Goodreads Giveaway has closed and I’ll be getting some of these books out to the winners as well as those who’ve written me for signed copies. (Didn’t know you could do that? Why, sure! Hit me up on Facebook or Twitter)

I really hope the winners enjoy, not just as an author, but perhaps they’ll write a review that will help other readers decide to take a chance on a new author, seeing as I don’t know them from Adam. Not to sound *too* cocky but how can you not love The Downeys? Ah… now I’ve got to knock wood. Any volunteers? LOL

Anyhoo, I want to thank those of you who have been helping me spread the word about The Bird Day Battalion short romance story! Without it being on Amazon’s KDP I can’t list it on most Free Book Promotion websites, as of course, it is not free at Amazon. BUT if you can help spread the word I think it will “sell” itself so to speak since it is free. Who doesn’t love FREE ROMANCE? I mean, come on?

So, lend it, talk about it, review it, recommend it. And I *hope* to do another holiday romance for you around Valentines Day. Because I love you guys, I really do!

I hope to post again later, this time with maybe a sneak peek at Second of All.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
