The Last Few Miles...

So for all of April (except the weekend I took to write EXILED ALPHA) and most of May, I've been working on a new book. In a new-to-me genre. One of the reasons for taking up a pen name was to stretch my literary wings and write in genres I love, but have been nervous of trying before. And yet, so far, I haven't totally done that. THROUGH HER EYES is a romantic suspense, but there are light paranormal elements in there. EXILED ALPHA is a paranormal romance, if somewhat dirtier and grittier than the kind I've written as Naomi Clark. This new book has no paranormal elements. Like, not even tiny ones. That's pretty much brand new territory for me. My initial feelings on starting this project were a bit like this:

I mean like, what am I doing? Where am I going? What business do I have writing a book without even a single werewolf? 

And yet, here we are, over 20k later, and apparently I am definitely writing an MC romance and having a really fucking good time doing it. I discovered the genre this year and am eating it up as a reader, but as a writer, I had no idea if this was something I could do. So I figured I'd start small, aim for something under the 20k mark, and see what happened. Well, now it's looking like Tanner's War will be closer to 30k and because this is me, somehow there's now a snake-handling cult involved.

And the finish line is in sight! I'm really confident that if I push hard, I can have the first draft finished this week. EEEEE!!! I love finishing a project. I especially love finishing a project that's been a challenge, and I think writing in a brand new-to-me genre counts as a challenge. I'm really hopefully that I can find a home for Tanner's War and write the rest of the stories this MC gang have to tell. I just need to resist sneaking in a werewolf...
