- [I'm how far behind?](https://jankenny.com/2008/07/29/im-how-far-behind/) - That was my question to me about a week ago when I realized I'd fallen behind my own schedule. Plug your ears while I scream. For the record I've cranked my timetable down in the draft stage so I have wiggle room later on. Now, knowing this and sticking with my own schedule have been

- [Booksigning - Thanks!](https://jankenny.com/2008/04/13/booksigning-thanks/) - Thanks to everyone who came out to the booksigning on Saturday.

- [Tagged!](https://jankenny.com/2007/10/02/tagged/) - Amy Knupp tagged me to do the 8 random facts about myself. BTW, she KNOWS I'm in the middle of copy edits of One Real Man.

- [Addiction, anyone?](https://jankenny.com/2008/03/09/addiction-anyone/) - OMG, Cadbury's Royal Dark chocolate Mini-Eggs are some kind of wonderful. Ymmmm.
- [Time warp](https://jankenny.com/2007/10/15/time-warp/) - I hit double deadlines this month, with copy edits for ORM and then major revisions on GL. The edits are back with Kensington Publishing in New York, and I'm making serious progross on the historical revisions. Whew! Our weather is crazy--mid October and I'm still wearing shorts. In Kansas that's pretty much unheard of usually,
- [The winter of discontent](https://jankenny.com/2008/02/19/the-winter-of-discontent/) - This has been a miserably long cold winter. And it's not over. Yes, I've whined about this before. But geewhiz, will it ever stop? Even the sun has been more of a stranger this winter, or at least it seems to have been more gloomy. I'm tired of cold feet and hands, tired of slogging
- [Death came calling](https://jankenny.com/2007/11/16/death-came-calling/) - I'm so sorry I haven't posted anything lately, but my mother was in critical condition the past week, so I, for the most part, stayed by her bedside.

And in case you're wondering--Griffin's Lair
- [Deep in the heart of proposals](https://jankenny.com/2007/04/26/deep-in-the-heart-of-proposals/) - I just finished the first 60 pages of a western historical paranormal, and I'm loving it. It's darker than my romances, and I so want to write this trilogy! But to do that (ergo, sell the idea to a publisher) I have to write a compelling synopsis to accompany those pages, and I dread it.
- [Cast iron gut](https://jankenny.com/2008/07/18/cast-iron-gut/) - My mom used to say people who could shovel in all kinds of rich, fatty, greasy, and/or spicy food and never get sick had cast iron guts. I've known people like that too, but I've never seen a dog who could eat things that they shouldn't consume and not puke all over creation. Until I
- [Harlequin Presents...](https://jankenny.com/2008/06/23/harlequin-presents/) - Me. :) In case you didn't catch the news, I signed a contract to write two novels for Harlequin Presents.

- [Here's the Deal](https://jankenny.com/2008/06/05/heres-the-deal/) - It happened. Finally. Kensington offered a three book contract for a trilogy of western historical romances. These stories will have a strong central tie that won't be resolved until the last novel. I'm thrilled, dancing on clouds with this contract. As a bonus, I was totally surprised when Publishers Marketplace picked up the news and
- [Friday 13th](https://jankenny.com/2008/06/13/friday-13th/) - I'm either overfeeding Sam, or he's eating stuff he shouldn't while I'm at work, or he's caught some puppy virus stuff. Actually it's probably a combination of all of them. Sam got me up early with that urgent whine that dog owners just now means "I gotta dump a load now." So we avert a
- [Busy, busy](https://jankenny.com/2008/05/25/busy-busy/) - Nearly 30 days later, I surface from my writing cave and squint at the sun. I'm sorry I haven't kept up with my blog.

- [Drop in signing](https://jankenny.com/2008/04/11/drop-in-signing/) - I had to do the grocery store trip yesterday, and I ended up in the book aisle. (Imagine that!) Anyway, they had two copies of One Real Man on the racks. Usually they stock minimum of three, so somebody had already bought a copy. :) I got out my pen and signed the two copies,
- [What a month!](https://jankenny.com/2008/04/29/what-a-month/) - April has been absolutely wild. I knew going in that if I made it to the end of the month and accomplished my goals and commitments, I could face just about anything later on. I had a requested novel to finish for Harlequin Presents, which I'm very excited about and am hoping it advances me
- [Finding manna](https://jankenny.com/2007/04/22/finding-manna/) - One thing I absolutely love to do in the spring is go mushroom hunting.

Thoroughly clean mushrooms in cold water. Slice in half, and remove stems
- [Grains of sand](https://jankenny.com/2007/11/08/grains-of-sand/) - I've found myself singing Carrie Underwood's latest hit, Love Is All That Matters. The overall message is uplifting, but I keep getting drawn back to one line -- "Sometimes, that mountain you've been climbing, is just a grain of sand..." That rings so true to me, and reminds me of a favorite saw of my

We've been working hard on
- [Notable week - plus](https://jankenny.com/2008/03/11/notable-week-plus/) - It started Sunday, March 9, with the switch to daylight savings time. This little event usually messes up my biological clock for a couple of weeks. I'm one of those who'd be happier if they'd leave it one way or the other instead of this switching stuff. Starting Sunday, we have a string of religious

- [Upgrade](https://jankenny.com/2008/01/13/upgrade/) - Nobody is out to make a better mousetrap that those in the technical world. It seems like every time I turn around, something on my computer is upgrading/updating. The auto stuff usually works fine, though the last IE upgrade nearly sent me into a meltdown when my email went wacky. (Or maybe that's wackier?) Dunno.
- [When it rains it pours?](https://jankenny.com/2008/01/05/when-it-rains-it-pours/) - Despite the snow and ice and cold crappy weather, the New Year started off pretty good for me. I figured out a bugaboo with my wip, and now I'm on track and moving forward with One Real Hero. But the bad news demon is still plaguing our family. A cousin passed away far too young.

- [Sweet essence of their love...](https://jankenny.com/2008/01/31/sweet-essence-of-their-love/) - I recently read a romance novel where the hero and heroine were always basking in the "sweet essence of their love in the air" after a bout of lovemaking. Note, it wasn't worded just like that, but of varying similarities as it was noted often. Admittedly, I've had characters remark or acknowledge the lingering after-odor
- [It must be Kansas...](https://jankenny.com/2008/01/08/it-must-be-kansas/) - because it was 60 degrees F yesterday, and cold with a chance for snow today. But I'll take that over the killer tornados that swept through southern Missouri yesterday, or the horrendous storms that battered the west coast. What's with the weather?
- [White Christmas](https://jankenny.com/2007/12/23/white-christmas/) - I know a lot of people hope they'll get a white Christmas, and I'll admit I find beauty in a rolling landscape dusted in white and shades of gray. I even like the crunch of snow underfoot and that ethereal glow that comes off a snowscape at night. BUT, bah-humbug! I don't like it when
- [When ice isn't nice](https://jankenny.com/2007/12/13/when-ice-isnt-nice/) - Like so many in the Midwest, our my county was hit by an ice storm this week. It started off as just a thin layer of ice, and it wasn't too bad to get around. Then the rain came. The temps were around 30 when it started and there was a fair amount of ponding
- [Big ol' lump of coal](https://jankenny.com/2007/12/06/big-ol-lump-of-coal/) - This year, I'm lobbing the lumps of coal at my IP. For this year, they have consistently provided me with : intermittent internet service, disconnected me at whim, reduced the measely kbs I was getting by on to a typical 25,000 receiving on a good day, and provided a laundry list of worthless excuses why

Hilary is my editor and she made my dream come true. I can vouch that her advice is golden (and timely). Got talent? Great.

Jan: I've heard more than once how easy it was to "break in" to the romance genre back in the 80s.

- [Ah natural](https://jankenny.com/2007/08/12/ah-natural/) - There's been a thread going on a loop about women coloring their hair. My first reaction was to skip them all, since I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I often am tempted to give my professional opinion. I know that's seldom wanted, but still-- I'm tempted. :) The gist is that women tend to color their

- [Not available](https://jankenny.com/2007/08/01/not-available/) - I hate those two words. Lately I've ran into that phrase on several frustrating occasions. One was a pair of shoes I wanted sooo badly pre-conference. They weren't available in my size, and the clerk actually snickered because I wear a size 5 shoe. The second instance is the most annoying because its a cluster
- [Dog days](https://jankenny.com/2007/08/04/dog-days/) - I just finished mowing the yard--all four acres of it--and I can say with certainty that the dog days of summer are here. Wow, it's miserable hot and humid. Added to this chore is the sickening fact that my lawn mower is about ready to give up the ghost. I know a cylinder blew the
- [Back from doing big D](https://jankenny.com/2007/07/16/back-from-doing-big-d/) - The RWA conference was draining and fun and long long hours on my feet. I tried my best to work business in with pleasure and did a fair job. For some reason my phone calls to my cps and friends went screwy (or either they were avoiding me, lol) but I met them more in
- [Progress report](https://jankenny.com/2007/06/28/progress-report/) - First, the toilet nightmare is finally finished without too much aggravation. Not only was the supply to the crapper shot to shit, but the wax ring under the "throne" had deteriorated. Now it's fixed, and hopefully I won't scream or faint when I see the bill. On another very happy note, I just finished the
- [Did Peter Pan have it right?](https://jankenny.com/2007/06/23/did-peter-pan-have-it-right/) - "I don't want to get old" has become a mantra of sorts for me and several of my close friends. We have elderly parents and caring for them has often tossed us headlong into the twilight zone. Well, it seems that way. We really should dub ourselves the Queens of Frustration. I've always thought is
- [Trickle, drip, drip, drip...](https://jankenny.com/2007/06/26/trickle-drip-drip-drip/) - I'm in the basement when I hear the toilet flush on the first floor. As I don't live alone, this is nothing unusal. Until I hear a steady trickle of water hitting the basement floor in the furnace room. I rush in there, dreading what I'll find. Water is on the floor. More water is
- [Better butter](https://jankenny.com/2007/06/15/better-butter/) - Years back I was a ova/lacto vegetarian, which means I included eggs and milk products along with a wide variety of veggies in my diet. I made the switch for one reason--to improve my health. My digestive system was totally out of whack. I won't lie and say the transition was easy. It sucked, especially

The books were racked, but my dear doctor "rearranged" the shelf and put ORC cover out. :) Wow, what a friend!!!
- [P is for petunia](https://jankenny.com/2007/06/06/p-is-for-petunia/) - I love flowers, but I don't have time for a lot of intense gardening. But I've found patio gardening satisfies the urge to get my hands dirty and provide that floral visual I crave. Here's a picture of one of my petunia pots. These Sugar Daddy petunias are in big pots, like 16" in diameter.

In my own defense, I spend a bulk of the time ushering my mom to and from doctors offices. Her health is the pits, and unfortunately she hasn't received any treatment that helps what ails her. In
- [May came in like a runaway train](https://jankenny.com/2007/05/10/may-came-in-like-a-runaway-train/) - March came in like a lion and out like a lamb, giving us the best early temperatures we've had in ages. We had nice April showers this spring but it turned butt cold. Them came May. April showers bring May flowers. Yeah, well, our April showers brought in a torrent of ugly weather. It was
- [To the count of fifty](https://jankenny.com/2007/04/12/to-the-count-of-fifty/) - I've begun an exercise routine, and I can feel the burn. I imagine by tomorrow I'll feel the pain, lol. But after trying on summer duds, I realized winter gravity wasn't kind to me. Going to the gym is out. I'd never keep up with the commitment because I prefer exercising in the morning. No

- [Frozen flowers](https://jankenny.com/2007/04/10/frozen-flowers/) - We had a gorgeous start to spring. My crocus, jonquils and tulips put on a great showing in varying purples and yellows. The big flowering crab apple in my front yard was a cloud of fushia, and the enormous lilac (that my grandpa planted) had the largest and most fragrant white clusters I'd seen in
- [Another candy holiday?](https://jankenny.com/2007/04/05/another-candy-holiday/) - I popped in the store the other day to pick up the things I forgot to buy my last trip. Why can't I remember the grocery list before I leave the house??? *thunking head* The lines were long because of the time of day and people getting their grub for an Easter feast. So I
- [Spring has sprung](https://jankenny.com/2007/03/21/spring-has-sprung/) - Woohoo, spring is finally here. The jonquils and crocus are up, the weather is warming nicely, and I finally was able to balance an egg on its end last night. Cool, huh? Does this mean I'll have a year of good luck?
- [Titles - FYI](https://jankenny.com/2007/05/02/titles-fyi/) - I was talking with a friend and told her I wasn't sure what the name would be for Gil's story. She thought that was strange, that authors chose the titles for their books. Well, I did have a working title for Gil's story - My Sweet Thief. I had one for my debut as well
- [ORC sighting](https://jankenny.com/2007/02/27/orc-sighting/) - If you've been waiting for my debut to hit the shelves, the wait is over. I got an email from Anita yesterday.

So here goes. :grin: 1) 99.999% of the time I can't pronounce abominable (as is the snowman/Yeti) 2) I eat jalapeno peppers with nearly every meal, and despite my grandmother's prediction, I haven't burned out my stomach or set fire to the toilet

I tore into the book, picked up my debut novel and cried. How sappy is that? For so long I dreamed of this moment, and the reality was every bit as sweet as the dream. I had a pic
- [Happy Valentine's Day!](https://jankenny.com/2007/02/14/happy-valentines-day/) - I remember back in grade school, we'd spend a couple days before V-day decorating tissue boxes. Then the teacher would set them on the window sill, and V-day, we'd each go around dropping cards into friends' decorated boxes. There would be lots of treats, provided by parents, and a lot of fun for all or
- [Stars colliding](https://jankenny.com/2007/02/12/stars-colliding/) - In about three weeks, I should be holding my very first novel in my hot little hands. I can hardly wait, and yet life things (you know, the crap we can't control?) is starting to happen.

- [An end in sight?](https://jankenny.com/2007/02/17/an-end-in-sight/) - To winter, that is. I'm so sick of cold and snow. We had a surprised snowstorm last night, which started at rush hour. Now if this had been our first snow, I could understand people driving goofy, but really, we've had snow on the ground for weeks, and we all should be used to it.
- [Actually on schedule](https://jankenny.com/2006/10/08/actually-on-schedule/) - Hard to believe, but I really did finish my short story for Samhain, at least the first draft of it. Yay! It's been a spell since I wrote a short story, so I did a lot of feeling my way through it in parts. Plus, this story's word count falls between what I wrote before
- [November contest](https://jankenny.com/2006/10/29/november-contest/) - My first newsletter goes out Nov 2 and the signup form is on my home page. All subscribers are automatically entered for my monthly contests. For November, I'm giving away CHARMING JO by Laura Drewry, and WHIRLWIND BRIDE by Debra Cowan.
- [Progress ](https://jankenny.com/2006/11/03/progress/) - Despite taxiing my mom to the doctor way too frequently, I'm making progress on my option book. There was a point where that white screen was mighty intimidating. It didn't help that the wrong heroine stepped on stage and promptly clammed up. I gave her a chance, really I did. But after a week of
- [Merry Christmas!](https://jankenny.com/2006/12/25/merry-christmas/) - We unwrap presents Christmas Eve, so it was a late fun filled night. I gave my mother a keyboard this year. That's what she asked for, and at eighty some odd years I figure she can have whatever she wants. She was thrilled with it, and stayed up well into the night playing songs. It
- [Up on Amazon...](https://jankenny.com/2006/11/12/up-on-amazon/) - overseas, that is. :) I found my first novel--ONE REAL COWBOY--listed on Amazon in Germany. Yes, I googled my name. What can I say? Not listed in the U.S. yet. Still, it's a thrill beyond words to see ORC on Amazon. Michelle Diener sent me the urls for ORC in France, U.K., and the Amazon

Now it's time to produce pages, and that means serious writing. That also means sticking to a writing schedule, which I've had great success with in the past. It's so liberating once I get into the rhythm of
- [WIP tag](https://jankenny.com/2007/03/16/wip-tag/) - Larissa Ione tagged me for this because I tagged her a while back. The instructions are to go to p. 123 of a work in progress, and find the fifth paragraph and post it out of context. So I went to Gil's story, which will be getting edits soon. Here goes-- The impropriety of it

They had two tables set up for Amy Knupp and I, with about 8 or 10 each of our books displayed on the tables. The manager came by to welcome us, and let us know there was a problem. He had a good supply of our books

- [Celebrate Romance Conference](https://jankenny.com/2007/03/05/celebrate-romance-conference/) - This past weekend was fun and eye-opening. It's always good to hear the readers take on our novels, and the majority were very eager to share. Not surprisingly, some don't have a good grasp on how the industry works, and how little imput the author has in some aspects. (Like covers, release dates) But all
- [Like it was made for me...](https://jankenny.com/2007/02/08/like-it-was-made-for-me/) - I was tooling around one of those funky shops that sell jewelry, handbags and other girlie stuff and found this keychain. It was one of those OMG moments. I couldn't believe how perfectly this fit my Born in a Brothel trilogy, and it's been hanging above my computer ever since as inspiration. See, the horseshoe
- [Finally surfacing](https://jankenny.com/2006/09/28/finally-surfacing/) - Wow, it's been a grueling month with revisions, compounded by my mom being very ill. Not so easy to stop in the middle of edits (especially if it's one of those intense scenes) and rush to doctors and hospitals. I can't just tuck the worry away either when I get back to the computer, at
- [Picture me pounding the keyboard](https://jankenny.com/2006/09/06/picture-me-pounding-the-keyboard/) - No, I didn't drop off the face of the earth. I've been busy doing edits on My Sweet Thief, and it's coming along really well. Actually I wasn't sure but Amy and Karin assure me it's good, so I'll take their word for it. Which of course is a huge relief since I have to
- [ONE REAL COWBOY](https://jankenny.com/2006/08/03/one-real-cowboy/) - My editor sent me the cover for ONE REAL COWBOY. Woohoo, I love it!!! And, I have a nice quote from fabu NYT bestselling author Linda Lael Miller. "With a cowboy like this, you can't lose!" --Linda Lael Miller I'm doing the happy dance. :)
- [Staying on track](https://jankenny.com/2006/04/17/staying-on-track/) - First drafts are fun in a manic sort of way. I don't follow a set rule; I take chances and push the boundaries, my characters and myself and discover more about my plot, character and myself as I write. Oh, I have this vague idea where I'm going, but I've always preferred the scene route.
- [Back to reality](https://jankenny.com/2006/08/02/back-to-reality/) - I'm back from the conference--tired but enthused about this publishing business I love. Pre con I'd been inundated with the downside of the book industry: death of chicklit, tight market getting tighter in general, branding of authors, blurring of lines. Scuttlebutt ran high with midlist authors being dropped, editors switching housing or hanging out an

Now in those two weeks I have to get through the rewrites on My
- [Midpoint hoorah](https://jankenny.com/2006/07/10/midpoint-hoorah/) - I hit the midpoint on my rewrites yesterday, and it's so good to be half way through MST--that's around 200 pages. Cutting a lot and adding a lot as I go, and yes, it'll need another good editing before my cps see it. With a little luck and a lot of work, I'll wind this
- [Reality bites](https://jankenny.com/2006/07/17/reality-bites/) - There are just so many hours in the day and I need more in order to get through my revisions this week. I'll come really close, like maybe a hundred pages left to do. I could have finished MST if I'd have A) locked myself in my office, pulled my modem connection and did nothing
- [Atlanta Bound](https://jankenny.com/2006/07/23/atlanta-bound/) - I'm heading out today to Atlanta for the RWA National Conference. To say I'm excited would be a huge understatement. :) I'm going to meet cyber friends, my editor and my agent for the first time, as well as make new acquaintances and hang with friends I haven't seen in too long.

- [Do the hustle](https://jankenny.com/2006/06/21/do-the-hustle/) - No, I'm not digressing into disco mode. I came across this quote that is great advice for writers. Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits. Thomas Edison The worst thing an author can do is sit around waiting to hear from an editor or agent. Better they dive into another project, if only
- [Rewrite heaven](https://jankenny.com/2006/06/27/rewrite-heaven/) - I've finished my proposal for a new series and sent it off to my agent, and now I'm ready to dive into the rewrites of My Sweet Thief, second book in my Born in a Brothal series.

The climax loomed before me, my heroine has to make a hellish decision, and what happens? In strides this arrogant Englishman who proceeds to tell me that he is supposed to be in this scene. Er, I don't think so. I ignore
- [Writing on the run](https://jankenny.com/2006/05/13/writing-on-the-run/) - Last week pretty much sucked. My car is on the fritz--think major repair as in the transmission is dying. What a sick helpless feeling! Of course discovering just what was exactly wrong took nearly a week of visits to the mechanic. Kudos to the car guy since he didn't charge me a red cent for
- [Expert advice](https://jankenny.com/2006/05/03/expert-advice/) - There are a lot of industry professionals with blogs, and being a blog stalker I've visited most of them. Some I check daily because they are so informative. Some are just addictive. :) I've never gotten into the editor blogs, but I found a new one called the Evil Editor that puts a different spin
- [Love is All You Need](https://jankenny.com/2006/04/29/love-is-all-you-need/) - Looking for a fun read? Look no further. Lori Devoti's latest novel officially hits the racks May 1, but you may be lucky and find it sooner.

- [Milestones](https://jankenny.com/2006/04/27/milestones/) - Last Saturday I drove to the Last Chapter bookstore in Overland Park for Amy Knupp's first signing. It was a great success, btw.

- [Name game](https://jankenny.com/2006/04/05/name-game/) - Things are moving steadily forward. I sent a list of possible titles to my editor and hopefully we'll both land on one we love and that will draw readers in. I do have an ISBN number! Wow! Oh, and the release date is March 2007. As soon as I have a title, I'll post the
- [Work in progress](https://jankenny.com/2006/03/24/work-in-progress/) - After I came down off the *I SOLD* high with a thump, the reality of having to write the followup book to BOND slapped me a good one. The good news is I'd done a lot of research and characterization on Gil's story. The bad part (which is really a good part) is that I've
- [THE Call!](https://jankenny.com/2006/03/16/the-call/) - All unpublished authors live for the day when they can announce they got The Call from an editor. And my day finally came. (insert deliriously happy scream here) Of course, since I'm the queen of out-of-the-ordinary things, I got the call moments after I left a store and got in my car. The editor's first
- [Where did the time go?](https://jankenny.com/2006/03/07/where-did-the-time-go/) - I'm a year older now. Don't feel it, sure don't act it. Hmm, I'll take that back. Last week was a rush one with an editor requesting the full of COMMON BOND, getting it printed, off to her, then the wait. You can read the blow by blow on my March 8 blog on Writeminded.
- [Back on track ](https://jankenny.com/2006/02/20/back-on-track/) - After getting a fourth of my chicklit mystery written, I realized it wasn't a true mystery. (Talk about a head-slapping thung moment!) I started getting a bit nervous when no dead body showed up early in the book. I was reader to knock someone off and get the murder underway, but it just wouldn't happen.
- [The plot thickens](https://jankenny.com/2006/02/06/the-plot-thickens/) - I've written quite a few novels and have yet to write (or should I say plot?) two of them the same way. Admittedly part of the reason is my refusal to write anything resembling an exact formula or cookie-cutter idea which in my mind translates to boring. But for the last few novels, I did
- [Break in the schedule](https://jankenny.com/2006/02/01/break-in-the-schedule/) - Instead of forging ahead with my chicklit mystery today, I pulled up a historical romance file and read the first three chapters. Why, you ask? Two reasons. I love this particular western historical romance--it took third place in two contests. And some time back, author Karin Tabke told me to query her editor with the
- [And so it begins](https://jankenny.com/2006/01/05/and-so-it-begins/) - Other than having a solid goal, motivation and conflict in mind for the major characters, I don't do extensive plotting before I begin a story. But I do I take a page from Amy and ponder a lot about characters and plot. Starting a new story is a challange I absolutely love. It's like having
- [Snail's pace](https://jankenny.com/2006/01/12/snails-pace/) - I'm pleased to report I've started the new story. And got it named. The working title is Hello, Chaos. Oddly enough that pretty much sums up my life the past week. Family doctor appointments can suck away so much time--judging from the other faces in the waiting rooms, nobody was thrilled to sit endlessly waiting
- [Discovery phase II](https://jankenny.com/2006/01/19/discovery-phase-ii/) - In discovery phase I, I do enough research to get me launched on a story--it's the prestory writing stuff where I read a bunch of books and surf the net and acquaint myself with my characters' jobs, story setting, etc. After that I wing it and don't delve back into research until those blank lines
- [Making noise](https://jankenny.com/2006/01/28/making-noise/) - My hero whistles. It came as a surprise to me. Yes, I don't do extensive characters sketches--my characters evolve as I write. And this isn't the first time one of my heroes whistled. So why did my current hero Trent's trait surprise me this time? It's not the fact he whistled, but how he whistles.
- [Onward and upward](https://jankenny.com/2005/12/27/onward-and-upward/) - Has it really been months since I posted to my update page? Gulp, yep, sure was. Starting with the New Year, I'm going to attempt to keep the updates page currant, meaning I'm going to try to post once a week. More or less this will be a running account of my writing life and

- [Welcome!](https://jankenny.com/2005/09/30/welcome/) - I cut my teeth on mysteries, so when I switched gears to write contemporary novels, blending mystery/suspense with romance felt right. I love reading the romantic suspense genre and have two novels written. As I delved deeply into the third manuscript, two completely different characters came barging into my head and set up camp. Well,

- [In a Cowboy's Arms](https://jankenny.com/book-excerpts/in-a-cowboys-arms/) - Colorado — 1895 It wasn't yet ten in the morning and Dade Logan was already bored clean out of his mind.

- [Christmas Showdown](https://jankenny.com/book-excerpts/christmas-showdown/) - Daniel Creed stared at the faded picture on the wanted poster.
