I came home tonight to a flooded house with standing water throughout. Until I can get everything squared away, all story updates are on hold. I think it should just be a week’s delay – I hope! – but I suggest you sign up for the email feed to ensure you know when posting resumes.

Thanks for your patience.

Instead of the regularly scheduled Love Will Lead Us chapter, please enjoy this preview prologue of The Alliance, Part 2 of the Undercover Series. (But it will make total sense even if you haven’t read The Freelancer.) This one starts the first week of March, but more information about the story will be released next week. The lines are drawn…It’s time to pick your side.

Check back in next week for multiple LWLU updates. How many? I’ll never tell.

Hey, y’all. I wanted to take the opportunity to wish everyone Happy Holidays. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas or Chanuka or Yule or just waiting to ring in the New Year next week, I hope everyone has a safe and happy time.

Just a couple of quick announcements:

• No new chapters on Christmas Day. I was going to update Love Will Lead Us, but I’m going to take the day off instead. The story will be back as scheduled on New Year’s Day. I thought skipping this week would be better than throwing something together in between cookie batches.
• The Freelancer has continuous posts through the end of the year and extra posts the first week of January. If you haven’t yet, now’s the time to check it out. I’m told things seem to be heating up.
• Earlier in the week, I asked for some reader feedback. If you haven’t responded yet, I hope you’ll take the time because it would really help me out.

Enjoy your holidays,

Jen

With the new year nearly upon us, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the future of this site. I’ve come to some decisions, but more importantly, I’ve realized I need your help. Here’s the plan for the coming year:

Once The Freelancer comes to an end, I’ll start posting the next novel in the series, currently titled The Alliance. More info on that one will be available as the current story starts to wrap up. (Obviously, I can’t give away the ending by talking about the sequel, now can I?)

I’m not sure what to do once Love Will Lead Us is over. Should I post another original story or do y’all want me to repost more fan fiction? If it’s the latter, which one do y’all want next?

But I’m not content with just writing online. It’s time for me to pull together a story worthy of submitting to publishers. I’ve already got a few novels I’m choosing between right now, but this is where I need your help. If anyone’s interested in reading a manuscript as I write it (via email), please let me know. I’m joining two professional writing organizations in January that offer critique groups, so I don’t necessarily need someone to educate me on refining my craft. Really, I’d rather have a reader’s perspective on it.  (But if you really want to gripe at me over a misplaced comma, that’s okay, too.)

And of course, if you have any other thoughts or suggestions, I’d love to hear them.

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving today.

Even though I’m off celebrating the holiday today, Love Will Lead Us has a new chapter scheduled for tomorrow. Enjoy!

Readers of The Freelancer, you have a holiday treat heading your way. Starting Monday, December 21, new chapters post every day (except Fridays) through the end of the year. And it looks like I’ve timed it just right because that’s when the real intrigue begins.

The picture has nothing to do with it, but it was popping up in my control panel and I thought it looked cool…

As you may have noticed, Ritual Awakening is taking a short break while I work on a special freelance article project.  The Freelancer is also still on hiatus.  Both will be back in November.

But I can’t leave the site dead, now can I?

So, to fill the time gap, without driving myself nuts trying to write something, I’m going to go ahead and move an existing story over here.  It’ll be a bit different because it’s a Prison Break fan fiction, but trust me, you don’t need to know the show or the characters to understand the story – just an angsty drama.

The repost of Love Will Lead Us will begin this week and will be on an accelerated posting schedule to get this site caught up, so make sure to check back often for updates.  Better still, plug in your email at the upper right to subscribe.  Don’t worry…still no spam.

And if angst and drama isn’t your cup o’ tea, all the suspense, romance and intrigue of the other two will be back in November.

Still haven’t caught up on The Freelancer or Ritual Awakening? Now’s your chance!

Hey y’all.  Just wanted to interrupt the flow of chapters to thank everyone for reading.  (Yep, I know you’re here even if you aren’t saying anything…well, not “you” specifically, but someone.)  Anyway.  Your continued support of my writing endeavor is very much appreciated!

Now onto some quick information on both of the books currently available on this site…

Ritual Awakening (Part 1 of the Denying Destiny Trilogy)

Well, the full moon is finally here so that means it’s time for the Ritual Awakening to begin!  If you didn’t catch the prologue then be sure to check it out before reading the first chapter when it becomes available.  For anyone who’s been reading The Freelancer or any of my fan fiction, this one is going to have a VERY different tone than the other…yet be somehow familiar.  

The Freelancer (Book 1 in the Undercover Series)

The Freelancer will be going on hiatus during the month of July to make way for a proper launch of Ritual Awakening.  If you’ve fallen behind – or haven’t started it yet – then now is your chance to catch up on the suspense and the romance.  Enjoy the breather until it returns in August because once it returns, expect things to take a dramatic turn.  You won’t want to miss it!

“What’s your littlest sin?”

Hey y’all.

In preparation of the next novel being released on the site, I thought it would be a good idea to get some input from readers on what you want to read.  Keep in mind, I won’t begin the release of the 2nd novel until at least March, but I wanted to give as much time for feedback as possible.

So here are the options:

~Pocket Aces

Pocket Aces is the first in the Wild Card series where we meet Alexa Darrow, a brilliant student of the human mind who has zero common sense.  Only Alexa could go to lay flowers on a grave and end up with a mafia target on on her boobs.  Now, the one man who can save her life is the one man with the power to destroy her.

When the chips are down, a pair of aces in the pocket just might save your life…

~Ritual Awakening (working title)

Based on my research into real vampires, psychic powers, Empaths, the occult and the paranormal…Ritual Awakening is the story of how a young woman balances discovering her true nature, an illicit affair with an older man and a cult bent on using her to fulfill their dark prophesy…all while coping with high school life.

Blood-drinking, wild panther sex and psychics?  My high school was nothing like this…

Pick your poison by leaving your selection in comments.  I’m staying out of this one so…what’s it going to be y’all?  Have your say before it’s too late…

J. Nicole

Hey y’all.  Thanks for coming to visit me on Your Littlest Sin.  I thought I’d take a moment to tell you about the first novel that will be made available to you here.

The Freelancer

Originally, the plan was to release this first into paperback format.  That was the plan until about two days ago when I decided I was a complete moron.  Don’t worry, I have these moments quite a bit.  I’m just glad I wasn’t fighting with myself about it out loud.

You see, The Freelancer is the first novel I ever wrote (and didn’t delete because I thought it sucked).  It occurred to me that the writing in this novel isn’t exactly to the same level as my more current work which seems to bother me to no end.  So I have two choices: spend forever rewriting it or accept the fact that I’ll never have it reach the level of perfection I seek and put it out there already.

So I choose the latter.

While I hope you enjoy The Freelancer – obviously, right? – I acknowledge there may be some grammar issues or typos from time to time.  It seems I’ve been with this particular manuscript for too long to be effective in my edits any longer.  If you see something, feel free to point it out.  As long as you don’t start screaming at me about a misplaced modifier then we’re good. 

Enjoy!

J. Nicole
