I'm still around and writing, just busy and easily distracted by different projects. But I'm happy to say that the upshot of being easily distracted is that I'm now almost done with not one, but two dev novels/novellas that I'll be publishing as ebooks. One is the long-delayed expansion of Jazz Age (~40k words), and one is the complete Bérénice (~30k words). So, both historical romances featuring male leads with cerebral palsy. (But yes, Bérénice's flirty, blind former lover Vincent shows up more, too. :) )
The Cove, part 1
Sofie was in bed with a stomachache and a headache, and
cross about it; she wasn’t used to being ill and slothful.
Luc was incredulous at first and teased her when he found
her still in bed. But she snapped back at him, and when he realized she really
was feeling poorly, he apologized a dozen times, covered her face with kisses,
and brought her tea. He put in too many leaves and steeped them too long, so it
was bitter, but she drank it anyway.
He leaned forward in his wheelchair with puppyish eagerness
and watched her.
When she finished her tea, set aside the mug, and eased back
onto her pillows, Luc offered: “I can tell you about one of my adventures you
haven’t heard before.” He gave a winsome smile. He had wide-set eyes of a dark
blue in a square, boyish, tanned face, topped with curling dark-blond hair.
