Steel Release Update

 

Important Information

Update to the Previous Update

Hello, my beautiful reading souls.

I know most of you are probably wondering where the hell this book is. It’s coming to you. I promise you that. It’s just not happening at the pace I want it to. Something broke inside of me when I lost my sister in January and I’ve been fighting tooth and nail to get it back. I have some days where the characters won’t shut up and I can pump out a good chapter or two. Then they go quiet and it seems like they stay that way for fucking ever.

I do everything I can to make sure to keep my creative side going and my mind open to them whenever they choose to speak. I craft, design, write on other shit…anything that I can think of to keep myself from being blocked completely.

Grief plays the biggest part in this and I feel like I’m letting my sister down every single time nothing gets written. She was one of my biggest supporters and was constantly telling me how proud of me she was. It always blew her away that her big sister grew up to write dirty books. Lol. But she loved it and took every opportunity she could to let people know.

I’m truly sorry to all of you that have been waiting patiently for Steel’s book.

Life caught me so off guard the last 10 months with the loss of my dad unexpectedly in June and then the unexpected, senseless, and tragic loss of my baby sister in January.

I’m asking that you please don’t give up because he is coming to you. I’m writing on him every single chance he speaks to me.

I’ll share some snippets with you if you hang around. Steel and Bailee are going to be worth the wait because they are definitely fire together. Their chemistry is off the charts and even though their love is a little…rough…at first, it becomes something pretty damn beautiful as per usual with most of these big burly asshole bikers.

Are you in my reader’s group on Facebook? Because that’s where I share most of my stuff at. I hope you jump over and join so that you can get a peek a the goods when I post them. Some I’ll share here too, but a lot of them stay private in the group until release day.

Anyway, I just wanted to come on really quickly and give a small update to this previous update, so you know where Steel stands.

Once I get him far enough where I feel safe putting him back up for preorder, I’ll do so and be sure to let everyone know.

Thank you all again, so much for your support. I only hope I can make it worth while to you.

Until next time.

Xoxo,

Lynne

 Hey, everyone.
 
I’m coming to you with a heavy heart and tears pouring down my face as I write this. This absolutely breaks my heart to say, but for the first time in five years, I’m going to have to cancel a preorder. Steel just isn’t going to be ready in time. I’ve tried. Holy hell, have I tried to have it ready for you all. I’ve pushed myself to the point of exhaustion, getting only one or two hours of sleep a night, only to get back up and do it all over again.
 
Yesterday, I hit the breaking point. Yesterday, my internet went down and I don’t know when it’ll be back up. The final fully edited manuscript has to be uploaded to Amazon by the 26th and there’s no way that is going to be possible. My children and husband deserve to have me present for the holidays and my editor’s family deserves to have her present as well. I’m not putting that on us.
I am completely devastated. I have let you all down but more importantly I’ve let myself down. It’s been my biggest fear in this career and I hate that I’m at this point.
 
The truth is, nobody could have prepared me for the past year. With the loss of my father, one of my biggest heroes, in June, and then my marriage to the love of my life in October, my emotions have been on a turbulent ride.
When you toss in the pressure of getting these books finished and ready to publish, I’m honestly surprised I’m still functioning.
 
All of that being said, you all know that I’m always one hundred percent transparent with you. Which is why I’m being upfront and telling you this now. If you’ve preordered Steel, you’ll be getting an email from Amazon about it being canceled.
 
𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃!
 
I’m hoping to have it out in January at the latest, but if this has taught me anything, it’s to not make promises and to not set anything in stone.
 
This also means that I will no longer have preorder privileges with Amazon for at least a year. Everything from here on out will be live releases. So, it’s important that you’re either in my group or have signed up for my newsletter. I’ll also be creating landing pages, which will allow you to be notified ONLY of a specific book, so make sure to keep an eye out here for them.

I truly hope you all understand and choose to stick around because I think you’ll love the things I have planned for the future. Now that I know to expect the unexpected, I’ll be better prepared next year for unforeseen obstacles that could pop up.
 
If I haven’t told you before now, thank you so damn much for all of your support over these last five years. Every single one of you has made an impact on my life. You’ve helped me grow into a better writer and you’ve helped me understand the kind of writer I want to be in the future. The love I have for you all never fails to amaze me. So, just…thank you.
 
May you have the most amazing holiday and the best new year! Remember that Christmas calories don’t count and that Santa is always so jolly because he knows where all the naughty girls and guys live. So, stay naughty, you beautiful reading souls. 😜
 
Much love,
Lynne

Mom. Wife. Wine Drinker. Hot Mess. Even bigger Walking Disaster. Fluent Sarcasm Speaker. Word Writer. Collector of Readers Hearts. Taco Lover. Book Nerd. Lynne is a USA Today Bestselling Author who writes a little mix of everything. Currently, it's romance with a handful of suspense thrown in, a dash of dark and twisty along the way, and a lot more than the recipe calls for of steamy against-the-wall sexiness. She lives in the quiet country with a bossy mister, a mischievous little prince, and two sassy divas. If you don’t catch her with her nose in a book or her fingers scribbling on paper, she’s usually right in front of the television with her family. She loves anything that glitters and has a weird habit of collecting pens. She thinks seafood is disgusting, beach sand is the devil, and Tom Hardy is life.
