The End & The Beginning of edits

The End of the first draft & The Beginning of edits!



Well, I just finished the first draft of Loving You the squeal to  My One-Night Stand, My Forever. I have not started the editing process as of yet. I would like to put this book to the side for a couple of days and work on other projects that I have started while I was writing Loving You.

I enjoyed writing about Ethan and Tyler, their relationship is very sweet and special so expect some fluff. I am happy with the finished product of the second version of this book. If you read my last update, I had to restart Ethan and Tyler’s story because it did not feel right. The title took me a to figure out which was another issue.

I am not the fastest writer, and I envy authors that are able to publish a book a couple of months apart. Maybe once I am more experienced I will be able to do the same. But as of now I ask for your patience. I went through so many different emotions and songs to find the right playlist for this book. It is a long list I will add a couple of songs that I was able to write to. I suspect as a writer it will be that way. You experience what your characters are feeling.

Other than that, I have been doing DIY projects on my home and a few baking projects. I have always wanted to bake cupcakes and cakes like they on television so I am giving that a try. Sometimes they come out looking as it does on the television and other times a flop. Maybe I will show those as well.

One last thing I would like to say. Our world is filled with hate and people who are very unhappy in their lives. And to make themselves feel better, they think that it is ok to hurt others. My heart hurts just as I know yours are hurting right now because of the tragedy in Orlando Fl. This is because of one person hate and the fact that he did not understand that love is love no matter the gender. We cannot and should not let this stop us from loving and supporting one another. Please keep the families of those who lost a loved one, or was wounded in your nightly and daily thoughts and prayers as I will.
Thanks for your support.

Weekly Updates

I have been working on so many things over the past couple of days. Edits for Loving You (Tyler & Ethan book 2 of My One-Night Stand series) is in full swing. I hope to have it sent off to my editor sometime next month. I still do not have a release date as of yet. I figure when it's in the final stages of edits I will have a better idea. I will be posting another sneak peak here or on my FB page so look out for it. www.facebook.com/GiovannaReaves I have started working on a brand new series, it will be a shifter based. Yup, throwing my hat in the ring and so what happens. I don't think it will be as long as the other two books I have written so far. I am also not sure of it will be mpreg or not but we will see as I write each book. My initial plan right now is to have a couple of books written to this series before I send any of them to my editor. I already have the cover set for book one...YAY!! In the next coming days, I will also be posting a story on here every
