Update

I've been hard at work on Second Nature, the next book in my His Chance series. If you've read Second Act, the first book in the spinoff series, then you know this upcoming book belongs to Riley and Gabriel.

They've been an absolute joy to write! Despite the fact that they both have a lot of darkness in their past, it's a sweet, gentle love story. I've been quarantined since early March, since several members of my family in high risk groups and really can't be exposed to Covid-19. With all that added stress and worry, what I really want to write (and read and watch) right now are positive, low-angst stories that let me escape reality for a few hours, so that's where this story is going.

I love the fact that the characters from my work in progress are in San Francisco right now, and I'm going to be bringing in some characters from my Firsts and Forever series. That always feels like a homecoming to me. We'll be checking in with Sawyer and Alastair from Worlds Away, and Zachary and TJ from Who I Used to Be because they fit perfectly into the story. I conducted a survey in my Facebook readers' group and asked who else they'd like to see, and Christian and Shea from Against the Wall won so they'll be a part of this book as well.

As far as an estimated release date, Second Nature should be out in late August. I'll post with a better estimate when I get closer to the end of the first draft.

Stay safe and be well, friends!
