I have decided to update with a single chapter. This is largely a housekeeping chapter, tying loose ends and preparing for the big finish. Said finish should be ready by the end of the month. Soon after that, another side story in the RE universe.

Then on to book 2. Small teaser, the second volume will be titled [K]&[T], LLC. First draft is roughly 50% complete.

I just went through and updated the tags. There were quite a few new ones. I did not realize it as I was writing.

Unlike some authors, I am rarely surprised by my characters. Actions grow out of who characters are. So, a new action reveals complexity of an existing character, rather than creating a new one.

That said, minor characters tend top grow unexpectedly into significant secondary players. Gerald was an after-thought, til Sheila decided to send a message. It is easy to say "Head of Security", but have you ever tried to create one?

The final chapters have gone to the editor. Writing Payday Friday has been some of the most fun I have had punching keys.

I have posted a new story in the Richards Enterpirses universe. It is a close tie in with the [K]itten & [T]eddy Bear story and does not really stand alone. The first portion will give an new point of view on [K]&[T]-Chapter 5.

That said, Sean and Sheila have minimal input and the story should stand alone. Hence, it is part of the universe, but not part of the series. For those of you who have read A Study in Foreplay, CC and Jason will be spending time together.

Installment four of [K]&[T] is complete and was just posted. I hope that helps your Father's Day weekend I hope to get the next section by the end of the month.

As always, thanks to B4Lurker for editing. Please give me your thoughts and remember to vote.

As I said in my homepage, I used to write stroke stories. Before too long, I would find myself thinking about the situation and the people involved. No matter how hot the scene, the participants need to arrive there--then go about their lives afterward.

One such stroke story is A Study in Foreplay. It was an extreme case of where I was a few Presidents ago. Jason was a compilation of California stereotypes, thrown in a highly charged situation. His story was easy to write. However, there is someone else in almost every scene.

Mistress Cynthia is also a compilation of stereotypes, but in her case it is intentional. She is a mask that Sheila Schwartz uses and hides behind. Sheila Schwartz is something very different, which is why I am writing [K]itten and [T]eddy Bear (the "[]" should explain themselves--eventually).

At the moment, I have introduced Sheila and her eventual husband Sean. If you did not get that much from the prologue, hopefully you just skipped reading it. They have gone on dates, done business and become engaged. Complications about merging their personal lives ensue. Chapter 5 is where Foreplay ties in. Be warned, it is a lot darker than the main story.

I was planning on removing these old blogs. Instead, I will update this first one occasionally. The first story is complete and the second is begun (tip of hat to B4Lurker for his editing).

New Hire Orientation ties into Chapter's 8&9. As bondage stories go, it is fairly light, though strictly lesbian.

A sequel, J and Silent T involving Jason and CC, is hetero. It ties in with the end of [K]&[T] book 1. I strongly recommend reading it prior to starting book 2. It will give background on some of the conversations in chapter 1.

I have not posted on this blog much lately. Chapter 5-7 are now up, which brings us to Monday night. Tuesday is worth about 6-7 chapters by itself. Wednesday, the Press becomes involved.

I would say I couldn't make this stuff up, but that is obviously false. Lets just say that the story has gone in unexpected directions.

Edit: 18 August

Book two is now complete. Wedding preparations are well underway. Friday is set aside for getting the final fittings. Of course, the Press will have it say in everything. Not all of it is bad, but much of it is not good.

Sheila does not know it yet, but Sean is taking her to Belize for the honeymoon. He even ordered some custom swimwear. But all that is for the epilog. They have to survive three more days first.

Til next time.
