What's going on and next book update + giveaway

I'm still here. I haven't been active online recently. I thought I would explain why. Nothing horrible, I promise.

I usually work on four or five books at a time. If I get stuck on a plot point in one book, I work on another till I figure out how to fix it. It could be days, weeks, or months before I figure out the problem. Sometimes I scrap most of a book and start again. I wish I could work on one book from start to finish like most writers, but my brain doesn't work that way.

When I finally finish the first draft, it is time to make revisions. I try to stick with the same book during the revision process so I can get it to my editors and then to you. This is when I go into my proverbial dragon's den and disappear online. 

For the last two months, I've been revising a book that might be the death of me. Six years ago (Yes! Six years), I started writing Sicari, a romantic suspense. One of the main characters, Marcel, has turned out to be the most challenging character I have ever written. He is a sociopath, and it is exhausting being in his head. He isn't one of the romantic interests, but everything revolves around Marcel.

But I am so close to the end of my revisions! Sicari is going to be 150K! My editor has been circling me in a predatory manner for weeks, waiting... 

So, that's where I've been. When I hand Sicari over to the editors, I will be free-ish...cause edits. But I will emerge from my den, bask in the sun and get other things done! 

Thank you to all my patrons. I know I haven't been active, and only managing update Chimera Kittens and Bittersweet. I have signed all the books and swag that everyone has been waiting for. Unfortunately, the post offices are slammed right now. Sharon is putting the packages together and addressing them and hopes to mail them the last week of December. I've added extra stuff to make up for the delay.

As soon as I finish Sicari, I will jump back into Nox - book 2, The Darkest Night - Jeff's story, and some other surprises.

Thank you to everyone who has read my books, joined my patron, or left a review. Even though I'm in my dragon den, I always have time to respond to readers' questions. You can email me directly or tag me in Adrienne's Darkside of the Rainbow Facebook group.
