Now We're On A Roll!

Now we're good to go.
Uh oh just realized there is another problem...we've left ourselves no more excuses.

Each day we revise the plot of our next book. We talk and think and talk some more. What we have found lacking in our thinking process is the very thing that was essential in creating "Stone Cold".

With all the excitement and hoopla surrounding the publication of the book, we forgot the greatest motivator for


creating...the Sharaz and chocolate cake.

This is a problem, since we both swore off. The real question is can we succeed without it?

Stay tuned...

What's Next?

This kinky sex thing is definitely getting out of hand.  It seems we can't stop talking about it.  Mind you it's only in a purely intellectual manner.  Do you think practical research would be helpful?  What about personal interviews?  There's no end to this topic.

Hey guys stay tuned.  Who knows what will come next?

Do You Want Kinky Sex?

We're now in the planning stage of our next novel.  We can hardly believe it.  The plot is becoming increasingly fascinating and creative.  But our last writing session was comical.  We've all heard the Shakespearean quote of "To be or not to be".  We now have a new take on it.  Kinky sex, or not kinky sex.

After much deliberation, going back and forth, and certainly being hip grandmothers, we couldn't come up with a decision.   We know sex sells, but is that the overriding motivation?  Harrumph, guess it depends on the day.  We vacillated to a clear point of indecision.

At long last we we had a solution...leave it to the readers.  We would love it if you could weigh in on this.  Tell us what you think.  Leave us your messages either on this blog or on our FB page, Stone Cold: A Novel.

However, there is one major obstacle for us being able to get an accurate read on this issue.  We do NOT yet have enough FB friends or blog subscribers.  You can help, by sharing this with your FB FRIENDS etc.  Ask your friends to join and enter their opinions.  This is an opportunity for them to have an influence in a new book.

OK guys, let's think...do we want lots of seductive, erotic kinky sex, or not?

SIGNING UP A STORM

Every hour for the entire day we both kept checking the weather.  The forecast had originally been for high winds and torrential rains.  This was the day of our first book signing, and the weather was most definitely not cooperating.  It appeared we would be drowned out by forces beyond our control.

We were expecting over 65 people and now if we had three, it would be a lot.
Oddly we kept bolstering each other's spirits, though Lois was nervous, she was still excited as was I.  Ever optimistic, we toodled off to Book Revue in Huntington, toting our yummy home baked treats.  We had enough to feed an army, which meant we might be eating sweets for a month.

Suddenly the gods were on our side.  The mini hurricane held off until we finished our presentation and book signing. It was an exciting and responsive crowd.  Gratefully everyone got home safely with our signed novel in tow.

What a great night!

The Book Divas & Friend

Here we are in all our glory.  What a great night!  More pics to come.

PR IS STALLING THE PROCESS, YUK!

Murder can be a laughing matter, but the PR business is not.  We are not having fun with this part of the process.  People think it's the rejection issue that bothers someone, but that isn't the case.  At least not with us.  We're finding it's learning to whom we should pitch our book and how.

Fortunately most people we've approached have been positive, but we need to expand our list.  Recently someone told us that the book would make a really exciting movie.  OK, now where do we go?  Is it a lawyer, a production company, a director?  Maybe all of the above, but which one would be more effective?   Ah, so many questions.

The best part of this process is learning new things and meeting people.  That is truly fun!   Now we're ready to move on.  While we are struggling with this PR business, our second novel, which is hugely suspenseful and based on fact, is languishing on the shelf until we can finish promoting "Stone Cold".

We welcome all ideas and of course wishes of good luck.
