First of all, this is late. I'm so sorry! My computer had a meltdown. Pretty literally really, it was overheating to the point of shutting itself down randomly. I use a chill pad and the computer was still getting burning hot to the touch. Getting a new computer means endless setup tasks. Coordinating getting MS Office on the new computer, getting Creative Suite installed, and getting my cloud drives synced. OMG. It took FOOORRREEVVEERRRRR!

So now the exciting news. Are you ready?

TORQUERE PRESS ACCEPTED MY MANUSCRIPT FOR BECOMING RORY!!!

That's right, the fourth book in The College Rose Romances will be released this summer, tentatively in June. It will be the orange rose - passion and desire - and will focus on Rory, who will be a familiar character to folks who have read Andrew's Prayer.

Official cover hasn't come yet, and the blurb may still get tweaked, but here's the draft (I'm so excited!):
​​​​
​Determined to set aside the mask of Lawrence Graeble, the newly reinvented Rory arrives on campus ready for change. But Lawrence is still discovering just who Rory is, and reinvention isn't as easy as adopting a new name. Struggling to learn the ins and outs of being a campus leader, Rory unwinds at a party, the sort Lawrence would never have been invited to, much less attended. When he ends up with an anonymous hot skater's tongue down his throat and a phone number in his pocket, Rory takes the risk Lawrence would never have dreamed.
     Meeting for breakfast is probably the most scared Rory has ever been, but his anonymous skater, Jimmy, will be worth it. Rory is sure of that from the moment they kiss outside the diner. Jimmy Smits believes in keeping things real, in a brutal honesty that speaks to every fear Lawrence would have run screaming from. But a haunted past is not enough to deter Rory, who is slowly experiencing for the first time everything the closet had stolen away. Something is holding Jimmy back, and Rory is determined to find out what it is before their fragile relationship is torn apart.
