I’m still working hard on the next Her Angel romance series book, HER WICKED ANGEL. My deadline for completing the first draft of this novel is next Wednesday, because I’m taking a break from this grey, wet and windy weather we’ve been suffering in the UK and heading off to warmer climes for a week. I can’t wait to get away, but before I can go, I need to wrap up this book.

I’ve managed to get the book up to 80,000 words now, and there are around 9 chapters left to write. That’s probably another 30-40,000 words to go, which seems quite daunting to me right now, but I just have to get my head down and get on with it, and I’m sure I can get this book wrapped up in the next week.

The book is coming along really well now that I’ve found my flow with it again. The release of Unleash (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series Book 6) caused an unplanned break in my writing in order to accommodate promoting the new release and getting everything together for it. It’s always difficult when there’s a big gap in my writing time on a novel, but thankfully, it didn’t take too much work for me to get back into writing this book. I clocked up 13,000 words on Thursday last week, and a further 13,000 on Friday, and then I wrote 10,000 on Tuesday. That’s 36,000 words in three days, which boosts my faith that I can get this book completed in first draft by Wednesday next week.

When I have the book completed in first draft, I’ll probably add it to my Kindle and take it on holiday with me. I think Asmodeus and Liora will need a nice break too, and if I get in the mood, I can read it through and pick up any minor errors, and then I’ll be able to get it off to Beta readers when I get back.

I’ve had a few readers ask when this one is coming out. There’s no definite release date for it right now, but I will say that the aim is to get it out in autumn 2013, so sometime between September and November this year.

I asked my Facebook fans whether they wanted a teaser with my WIP Wednesday post and many of you shouted out that you’d like that, so I’ve picked out another of my favourite moments in the book so far.

Here’s a teaser from early in the book… all first draft because I’m only just writing it so forgive any errors…

Since I don’t have a cover for the next Her Angel romance series book, HER WICKED ANGEL, and won’t have one for a while, I’m sticking with using one of my warning signs. I did make this one with Asmodeus in mind.

I’ve had a rough time with this book so far because the release of Unleash meant that I had a lot on my plate to do for that and it was really putting me off writing. Thankfully, I seem to have found my writing flow with this story again, and although it has been fits and starts today, I have managed to get the book up to 41500, increasing it by around 5000 words. That’s not too bad when I’ve been struggling to write these past couple of weeks.

I’m on a deadline with this book now. A serious one. I have to get it done in first draft by 5th June, and then have some very tight turnaround times on editing and proofreading in order to get it ready for release. I want this book to come out in September, but can’t make any promises right now. It’s tricky. I’m still not sure what my other release will be this year. It all depends on my muse. If he’s feeling up for it, I’ll write the next Vampires Realm book. If he wants me to write something else, well, I can only really do as he wants. At the moment, he’s leaning towards getting the first three Eternal Mates books written.

At least for now, Asmodeus is playing nice and we’re moving on his book again. He’s a rather wicked fellow, as you might imagine from what we’ve seen of him in Her Demonic Angel, and this morning I shared a snippet of one of my favourite scenes in the book on Facebook. I promised to post a larger snippet of that same scene here at my blog, so…

Here’s a teaser from the book so far… all first draft because I’m only just writing it so forgive any errors…
