4. Undecided

This novel has recently sprung up between True Love and One More Try. More info to follow.

**Updated News on Undecided as of Sept. 5th, 2011**

I plunged back into the world of Sweet Dreams again after a few months concentrating on AL.

The 4th book that cropped up between True Love and One More Try is titled Undecided.

It follows Victoria and Cynthia, back at school after Steve’s attack.

Victoria must heal, deal with school gossip about how she got the wound, and suffer the time away from Rob as best she can.

Cynthia must battle her emotions about Derek and what she told him to do – get over Laura – while also dealing with her mother’s voltaic personality.

Will our two gals make it to graduation without getting in any more scrapes? No one knows.

Cynthia does a lot of soul searching in this book. We also get to see a bigger part of Raul’s life.

30% of the way doesn’t sound like much, but… it’s coming! I’ve written over 8,000 words this weekend! If only there were a few more holidays to get this puppy finished.

Stay tuned here for more word counts and all the news on what I’m working on.

To be honest, this one isn’t even close to being ready. It’s a little portion of a story that popped up between these two books. I hope to have it ready in 2011.

Hi Emmy. I just downloaded all three books on my iPod yesterday, and listened to all of them today at work lol. And now I am dying to hear more. At the end of True Love, you answered questions about the series, and I just wanted to double check, are there 14 books within the series? And how many books per year do you release? Are you considering working on any other romance series? When you finish Undecided will One More Try be out shortly after? I saw your comment saying it was completely ready to be podcasted.

I apologize for all of the questions, but I sew all day long at work, and audiobooks keep me occupied, and sometimes it is hard to find good ones lol. Great job!!!!!

Thanks,
Amy

Hehehe. Well thank you so much for your interest! One More Try is pretty much ready, but Undecided is yet to be completed. I have a chunk (maybe 1/3 of a book) and need to see if One More Try will stay the same after this one. To be completely honest, I’m not sure when Undecided will be done. My target is next May, but I’m not sure. Depends on how smoothly it goes and if I decide to publish the other two books already podcasted in paperback. The first book in this series, Sweet Dreams, is coming out VERY soon in paperback. I am waiting for the 1st pass by the editor now. Then I will get a proof. I was hoping it would be out by November, but it might be more like early December.

So, that is all I know about the Sweet Dreams series. However, I do have my vampire novel Night’s Knights available for download. I’m not sure if you like vampires, but there are several love stories intertwined in that one. It is quite a longer book (recorded before Sweet Dreams, so be kind on the audio… I was learning!) and it is 43 or so chapters long. If you like that one, the sequel, called Dusk’s Warriors, will start by the end of this year.

The third project I have, Artistic License, is a horror romance but more tame than the vampire books. I think both the vamp lovers and the sweet dreams lovers will dig that one. I haven’t said much about this book because I haven’t decided when it will be out, but I expect more news in 2011.

Thank you Bianca! That is quite a compliment since I was hooked on Twilight myself for awhile. If you have bought or listened to Sweet Dreams, don’t miss out on the free extras package. All you have to do is send me a pic of you with the book cover. Also, a review on Amazon.com would be great if you wouldn’t mind. By the way, who is your favorite character?

I love those books. I downloaded the first one back in the summer of ’10 just because I needed something new to read. I didn’t even know that there was more books…..I decided to go looking for some audio books to get, and I was trying to remember where I got that really good book, well I found it and the other 2 books, and let me just say…..WOW. I can’t wait for the rest to come out.

  Thank you so much! I have to pause a little bit because my vampire series is needing some attention right now, but I hope to have something new for the Sweet Dreamers in 2011. Subscribe to this site for news!

  Hiya Nikki! Thanks for listening. Sorry about the voices. I did them all myself, so… yes, Rob isn’t EXACTLY how he sounds in my head, but I did the best I could with the Minnie Mouse voice I have. Hhehee. I’m glad you enjoyed these. The first novel, Sweet Dreams, is available in print on Amazon and for all e-Book devices. As for the 4th book called Undecided, I have only the first few chapters. It might be awhile for this one since my horror books are taking off, but my goal is to complete Undecided during 2011. Once the book is finished, it won’t be too much longer before the podcast comes out. Happy listening! And if you dig vampires, check out my vampire novel Night’s Knights which is also on podcast.

Well i can’t wait for you to finish the rest…Well i guess i do if i ever plan on reading it…LOL. But i listen to the other 3 all the time i swear i could tell you those stories word for word ,and im hanging on so i can’t wait til undecided is finished. So will you post “one more try” automatically after you post “undecided” since it’s already finished or will you give time between the 2?

  Thank you! There will be a slight pause, but it won’t be as long as this pause has been because I don’t anticipate any new writing that I don’t already have – just review. Thank you for listening!

  Thank you for your feedback! And you know what, it’s the same for me! When I get to write about Vicki, Rob, Cyn, Derek, and the rest of the gang, I get to be in their lives. They are so real to me after all these years, it’s as if I know them in real life. And for a little while I can pretend I don’t have bills, and shopping, and chores to do.
  
  They really are a part of the family. My husband is always asking me questions about Mr. Malloy. “Now, would Mr. Malloy own a Laundromat? Who would he hire to carry the change around? Kip? Did they make that little Monopoly guy after Mr. Malloy? If Mr. Malloy was to play Monopoly, would he be the hat or the car?” Hehhee… it really is funny the things he comes up with!

Yes, I know Sweet Dreams is a bit romancy for most men. I kinda torture my hubby because he is one of my first readers. I think he’s gotten used to the Sweet Dreams gang though. Since he writes fantasy stuff – Sword and Sorcery kinda stuff that I don’t normally read – it’s kind of a fair trade. I tell him… “If I have to read all this *busty barmaid and men with big swords crap* then, you have to read my perfect rich heartthrob guy stuff.” Hhehe.
Can’t wait till you see the Sweet Dreams Game I’m presenting soon. I finished it today. I’m going to have a couple people read it to clear out the typos and then you all get to play! I might too just for fun… just don’t tell anyone I’m playing. Lmao.

Ok Sweet Dreamers… what’s up? I know that you guys are playing the Sweet Dreams Game because I see you doing the tasks, but no one has sent me a picture! I guess no one wants this awesome one-of-a-kind prize! Send me pics or an email about how many points you have on the game to be entered into the drawing for the book! http://sweetdreamsnovel.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/sweet-dreams-game-news-2/
