The Cohort Trilogy and some of what happens…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today I’d like to discuss some of what happens inAbsolution,The Cohort Trilogy-Book I. By now, through my blog, or having read my novel(s) you know who the characters are in the book – Beau and his three women friends, his cohorts. Therefore, I’d like to give you a brief rundown on some of what takes place with them in the book.
 
Since I had, and yet have, friends similar to Beau our main character, I tried to make this trilogy as close to real life as possible.

The Cohort Trilogy, meet Veronica —more aptly known as Ronni…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today, in keeping with our theme:The Cohort Trilogy-Book I,  Absolution which will soon be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content I’d like to speak to you about our lead character. Well not about him exactly. I want to introduce Ronni to those of you who haven’t yet met her. This butter-yellow mouthy spirited woman happens to be Beau’s other roommate.
 
Now I must tell you, with Ronni [RON-nee] you will either love her or hate her, there is no in between.

The Cohort Trilogy, meet Ms. Vee Reenay…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I trust you all had a memorable holiday season.
 
Since we’re here and moving forward in this New Year that we’ve been blessed to see, let’s again jump right in. I believe I informed you, concerningThe Cohort Trilogy, thatBook IandBook IIwill be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content.
I like that! As the time nears I will remind you. Now back to us discussing  the characters inThe Cohort Trilogy-Book I,Absolution.
 
I told you a bit about Beau, our gay male lead, and I mentioned his mothering cousin, also in the book.

The Cohort Trilogy, let’s talk about Cousin…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I’m back. Let’s jump right in. I wanted to let you know concerningThe Cohort Trilogythat soonBook IandBook IIwill  be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content. I’m quite happy about that. As the time nears I will remind you.
 
Now back to what we were discussing last week – the characters inThe CohortTrilogy-Book I,Absolution. So I told you a bit about Beau, our gay male lead… therefore I want to mention his cousin, a woman who is also in the book.

The Cohort Trilogy, Beau in particular...

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I must apologize. I’ve been so busy! I wanted to get back to you and tell you a bit more aboutBook IinThe Cohort Trilogy, my super-fast-reading novelAbsolution. Well, here I am.
 
To pick up where we left off, inAbsolution, you get to meet Beau, one of the stars of the show, a buff beautiful gay male. Now he maylooklike he’s got it all together, but there are some other things going on, trust me. However, you’ll have to read the book to find out what those issues are.

Information on ‘The Cohort Trilogy’

 
Someone is always asking about my Cohort Trilogy, so I figured I’d tell you a bit about it each week.
 
First of all, the three books in the trilogy are calledAbsolution,Progression, andIniquities. However, let’s speak aboutAbsolution,Book 1for now.
 
In it a reader gets to meet four friends, three women and their gay male roommate Beau [Bo.] Beau and the ladies call themselves cohorts because often they find themselves in untoward situations,together --many of which you the reader will get to see firsthand or hear about through their telling.

So yummy!

Hi readers, friends and fam,
 
I just wanted to let you know how excited I am to be able to finally offer youIniquities!
It'sBook IIIin myCohort Trilogy, and believe me, just like you loved the first two, you're going to feel that way about this one. I don't mean to sound cocky. You all know that's not my way. I'm just saying... I gave this book all I had.
 
I had help too. That I'm happy to report. My gay male friends were more than willing to give me their input. You know, to make the story real.

Mom's books are now available on Amazon Kindle!

Hello friends and fam,
 
I wanted to let you know that Jessica Janna, my mom's books Seedling  and Sowing  are now available on Amazon Kindle!  She's quite excited about it because to her this format is new -- it's electronic! Mom also admitted that like some of you she likes books to hold in her hands. So now you can make your choice.
 
With Kindle both Seedling  and Sowing  are available for a ridiculously low price. So...maybe you might want to think about giving them as gifts this holiday season.

Turnabout & Exodus now available on Nook!

Hi Readers, friends and family,
 
Once again I'm excited. My steamy novel Turnabout,  and the mysteriously thrilling Exodus  are now available on  Nook  for a lovely low price. Check them out, you will not be disappointed. Now you can carry these sure page-turners everywhere with you--won't that be fun? Don't forget to write me after or while you read, I'd love to know what you think!

Get Ready For 'Iniquities!'

Just wanted to update my readers...
 
I am putting the finishing touches on Iniquities, the third novel in The Cohort Trilogy. Ladies, and gentlemen, I think this is some of my finest work yet, but I'll let you be the judge!
