I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for making this month so special for me as a writer. Both Wanted By You and Fantasized By You are listed as best-sellers on Amazon, and that just seriously blows my mind! I’ve also ranked on iBooks, and it’s all because of YOU, so thank you all so very much!

Such A Sweet Fantasy

The first draft of Fantasized By You (Love in the City, #2) is finished!

So, if you haven’t read Wanted By You (Love in the City, #1) or told all of your friends and family and neighbors about it, please do because I’m so excited for the Love in the City gangs’ story to continue in book two! All of the characters will be accounted for, so I pinky-promise you won’t miss anything or anyone!

And you should read it because…

P.S. – Who wants the blurb for Fantasized By You?

Happy New Year

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Steph Nuss

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to write more posts on here. In 2013, I neglected my website quite often, but that’s all going to change in 2014. I like my new layout. I finally figured out how to create my own widgets. Life on here will be good! It will be!

My other resolutions consist of eating healthier, working out more…the usual resolutions most people have. I’m fairly good at watching what I eat, but I’m hoping to start eating a paleo diet again. The “caveman” diet, as it’s been referred to, is a very clean eating regimen. It really does make the body feel a hell of a lot better and I’m excited to jump back on the bandwagon. I lost about 10 pounds from eating a paleo diet earlier in 2013.

Of course, I don’t believe in completely cutting out the things I love. I think it’s important to reward yourself for living a healthier lifestyle by enjoying some of the not-so-good-for-you foods maybe once every two weeks or every Saturday because it’s the weekend, but with that being said, I think it’s important that that “treat” doesn’t morph into binge eating. A fun-sized candy bar or a bowl of cereal would suffice.

I recently started pinning and using polyvore and you can find links to my profiles on the side of my website. I’ve been building polyvore boards and pinterest boards for my book and I’ve grown addicted to them. I’m positive 2014 will be filled will lots more pins and polyvore sets. It’s all just so addicting, I can’t help it! None of my sets on polyvore are published yet because they’re a big, fat secret until my book comes out…which is soon! I can’t wait for you all to see them as well as my pinterest boards.

As for the rest of 2014, I’m planning on writing a hell of a lot more! I’m hoping to at least get two books published this year. That’s my goal anyways. The first book in my Love in the City series, Wanted By You, is currently with the beta readers and I’m really excited to hear their thoughts! I’m just really excited in general with everything in regards towards my book and writing and publishing. My cover is hot! I can’t wait to share it with the world! Bandit Publishing has made this entire process a dream come true. They just get me and I really, really appreciate that.

One of my other goals for 2014 is to write everyday no matter what. Like Nora Roberts says, “I can always fix a bad page. I can’t fix a blank one.” I’m currently in the process of writing book two, and I’m hoping this goal pushes me to finish it and publish it before 2014 ends!

I hope everyone has set some resolutions and/or goals for themselves this year. I think it’s important to push yourself towards your dreams because life is too short to do anything else. I sat down at my laptop in April 2013 and started writing. In July 2013, I signed a contract with Bandit Publishing and have had the opportunity to work with some of the greatest people to bring out the best in me as a writer, and I know 2014 will be full of awesome things for us! I can’t wait! May you all have a wonderful New Year’s! Cheers to 2014!

The Time Has Come

Posted on May 26, 2013 by Steph Nuss

After 86K words in the first book, I am finally making my website as an author and beginning the process of getting you all riled up about it!

I’m so thrilled to share my series with you all. I hope you love my characters as much as I do. I hang out with them more often than I do the people in my life who aren’t imaginary. So, I’m really excited to share my imaginary friends with you. I’ll post inspirations and playlists for each book in the series, and when the time is right, I’ll share synopses and book covers and other self-publishing info. My goal is to have the first book finished, edited, and ready for ebook publication by August 2013. Cross your fingers!

Each book in the series is about different kinds of lovers. I’m also a huge Billy Squier fan and his song, My Kinda Lover, really inspired me to create these characters and their love stories. It’s always been a dream of mine to become a writer and I love a good series so that’s my dream, to create a series of my own to share with the world and hope they love it just as much as I do. It’ll be a long and crazy journey and I cannot want to embark on it. Cheers!
