I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am about today. "Made for Us" - book one in my new Shaughnessy series is finally LIVE!! Woo-Hoo!!!
Here's the thing - series books. You either love them or hate them. Personally? I love them. I like introducing characters that you get to follow before and after they have their story and you really get to know them. For the Shaughnessys, there are six siblings - five brothers, one sister. Each sibling is going to have a book of their own over the next two years. "Made for Us" is eldest brother Aidan's story. He's a building contractor and a bit of a control freak. He has a routine and he sticks to it. And all the while, he sees himself as the anchor of the family - the one who everyone turns to and who helped his father raise his siblings after the death of their mother.
He meets his match (and don't they all!) in Zoe Dalton. She's an interior designer/decorator who finds herself working for Aidan. They butt heads immediately because she's as strong-willed as he is. Sparks fly immediately and that's when things get fun!
As for the rest of the family, they are quite the eclectic bunch! Let me introduce you:
Aidan - oldest, building contractor
Hugh - owns a string of private luxury resorts, has a lot of OCD issues
Quinn - former NASCAR driver who now deals in classic car restorations
Riley - musician. Okay, he's one of the hottest rock stars in the world!
Owen - Riley's twin, astrophysicist. Extremely shy and socially awkward.
Darcy - the baby of the family, only girl. She's kind of bratty at first but she's going to grow up to be AMAZING!! I seriously can't even wait to start her story!
Believe it or not, Shaughnessy books two, three AND four (Hugh, Quinn and Riley) are already written but they won't be out until 2016. I believe they will be released in April, August and December. Don't hold me to that, they may be a little different but you can be sure that as soon as I have a release date, you'll know about it!
So it's a big day! I'm going out to celebrate with friends - go to Barnes & Noble and do my pictures with the books! I'm a goof, I know.

Have a FABULOUS day!!
If they are already written why do we have to wait until 2016 for them?
ReplyDeleteI know...crazy, right?? I wish they could be out sooner but that's how long it takes to get edited and put into production!
DeleteThen they obviously need more help.
DeleteIt's going to be tough to wait until next year, but I'm sure it'll be worth it!!
ReplyDeleteFor me too, Cheryl! Believe me! I can't wait to see it in print!!
