Don’t Reject Yourself
I was starting to really psych myself out over starting my next Silver Creek book. I’ve only written one book that length, did I have enough conflict to sustain it? Would I enjoy it, or would I hate the experience? As the deadline for that book gets closer (March) and the need to get going […]
Read the Rest »It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Yes, it’s the holidays. But for me, December is even more than that! Two of my children were born in December…lucky me with gift buying, right? But wait! There’s more! December 1st, 2009 was when I got The Call from Mills & Boon, offering me a two book contract with Presents. I’ve since written 21 […]
Read the Rest »Hey! You Got Work in my Life!
And you got life in my work! (if anyone remembers the Reese’s cereal commercials, you know what I mean) I think the thing I get asked about the most is my schedule, and how I balance work and writing life. And I’ve kinda blogged about it before, but the thing is, things change. Life changes, […]
Read the Rest »Some News and Water Changes Everything
If you follow me on twitter (@maiseyyates) or like me on Facebook, then you’ve already heard me talking about my current hero, the man I call: Neat Freak Cowboy. BUT I’ve been tight-lipped about what I was going to do with him! So, now I’m going to share! I’m pleased and excited and generally squeeish […]
Read the Rest »Cover Copy for Unbuttoned and Novellas
I’m working on another novella right now. This one isn’t for Presents OR Silver Creek. (Sekrit Project alert!) But it is a rom com in the vein of Silver Creek, and, like that series, is set in Oregon and contains shenanigans and a sexy cowboy. I never thought I would enjoy writing short, but now […]
Read the Rest »A Complicated Post About Process
I say complicated because I’ve been musing, and taking in several opinions on the subject and really…nodding along with most of them. I say complicated because everyone is different, and every writing process is somewhat different. And, if you’re like me, every book is different. Here are some things I believe about process: We all […]
Read the Rest »The Call of Duty
I’m in the throes of a double release day across countries again! This time it’s for my Call of Duty series. The first one was out in the UK already, and the second book, At His Majesty’s Request is now out in Mills and Boon’s website, and due for a shelf release in a couple […]
Read the Rest »Now Entering Doubtsville: Population…pretty much everyone.
Writers are funny creatures. Really, all creatives are funny creatures. No matter how grand the ego on the outside (and some of them really do have some graaand egos they’re waving around out front like LOOK AT ME I’M SEXAY AND I KNOW IT) the underneath stuff is kind of soft and mushy and easily […]
Read the Rest »Milestones, Covers and Cover Copy, Oh My!
So this was a big day. Like…a really big day!! I got final approval on the Geek Billionaire (who I’m sure will get a better title), I got the cover and cover copy for my January UK release Her Little White Lie AND I got my contract for my Berkley InterMix books (we’ve been pretty […]
Read the Rest »Layery Layers and I Contradict Myself About Secrets…Kind Of
I got revisions back on the Geek Billionaire today from my fabulous editorial duo. They are, again, my most favoritest kind of revisions. It’s…this is all really screwed up…can you make it darker and more screwed up? Yes. Ma’am. I CAN DO THAT. So, I’m super excited to get going on these, but before I […]
