I’m currently editing my next HEAVEN’S MATCHMAKER, LOVE MATCH, book 2 in the series. I don’t have a release date yet, but here’s a little taste of what’s to come.

“Let’s go grab lunch,” he said after a moment. “We can discuss it, iron out all the details over a burger or a sandwich.”

She blinked several times, hearing his voice, but the words made no sense.  “What?”

“Lunch? You know? That meal between breakfast and dinner?”

She gaped up at him, her toes starting to tingle when he grinned down at her.

“I’m assuming you’re done visiting for today?”

She nodded.

He returned the motion. “And I just finished visiting with mine. I’m hungry and I have a long afternoon ahead of me, so why don’t we head into town, grab something to eat and we can go over what it is you want me to do? Sound good?”

It took her a few moments of internal debate before she finally said, “I could eat.”

From the 4.23.24 release of RETRIBUTION

Staring at the phone, Tucker debated calling Kella. It had been two days since she‘d been given all the case information. She should have gone through it by now.

Just as he decided to call, his secretary buzzed through.

“Yes, Marcia?’

“Call for you on two. I almost didn’t believe who it was.” Tucker could feel her smile through the office wire. “It’s Kella. I haven’t spoken to her in I don’t know how long.”

“Put her through.”

A second later he said, “Kella?”

“Hey, Tuck.”

“Please tell me you’re done with the profile.”

“I’m fine, and how are you this lovely morning,” she asked, a laugh in her voice.

Tucker tossed his glasses on his desk and rubbed his eyes. “Kella, I don’t have time –”

“You never did,” she told him, the mirth still in her tone.

“What have you got?”

“Well, to backtrack a little, I went through everything you gave me. This is one disturbed man.”

“That goes without saying.”

“Yeah well, you and the Posse probably have a baseline profile. Male, twenty-five to forty, trouble with relationships. Lives alone, no friends, menial job, poor education. How’m I doing?”

“Right on the nose.”

“Well, you can throw it away. None of it’s accurate, except for the gender.”

Tucker sat bolt upright, put his glasses back on, and pulled a legal pad and pen across his desk.

“Talk.”

Intrigued? I hope so. ~Peg

5 more tips for new authors. These are some more things I wish I’d known before I got my first publishing contact.

  1. plan for the long game. There’s a saying that everyone has one book in them. That would make you a one-and-done author. Don’t be a one-and-done author. Make this a serious career and plan for it like you would if it were a job out in the workforce.
  2. don’t write to market. Ever. Today’s hot vampire is tomorrow’s cliche. Today’s dark fantasy fae is tomorrow’s no-sales story. Write what you want to write, not what the market at the moment is telling you is hot.
  3. don’t overload yourself with social media. You don’t have to be everywhere, posting constantly. I learned this lesson early on when all I was doing was creating content and not creating stories. Pick a lane and make yourself an expert at it.
  4. never stop learning the craft. Take courses. Go to conferences. Read craft books. Never stop learning. Your writing will only mature and get better if you do.
  5. networking works. Join a writing group. Start locally and move to the national level. Many times it really isn’t what you know but who you’ve met that can give you a leg up in the business. Learn that lesson early in your career and it will truly help you.
