New release, ladies & gents! “Buddy Holiday”, a Festivus novella from Loose Id and a sequel to “Tomcat Jones”.

I’m really excited. T.J. is tremendous fun to write. In these books, “anything can happen — and usually does”. The holidays can be pretty stressful, and a good laugh (with a healthy dose of steam) [...]

Someday, I’ll remember to blog regularly. Some fine day. I am the embodiment of the absentminded professor type. I stumble around thinking story 24/7 and only remember it was Monday when it is currently Thursday.
Why yes, I’ll have some cheese with my whine *grin*
Anyway — I adore you all, and [...]

“Speak of the Devil”
(c) 2009 Willa Okati
Little Halloween interlude here for you all with the cast and characters of “Tomcat Jones” and the upcoming “Buddy Holiday” from Loose Id. When the theme is “Sexy Devil”, you know it’s got to be about…Sur Lune, psychokitty extraordinaire.
Sort of.
Enjoy!

I love making people laugh.
These days, it seems I’m finding my joy in writing quirky, romantic stories that bring a smile, warm a heart, and make you break a sweat. It’s the trifecta of happiness. “Erotica Quixotica”. Kinda has a ring to it, and I’m enjoying playing.

Bit of a post-and-run because I’m eyeball deep in the WIP, but I wanted to share a couple of Very Good Things.
First, Lovers, Dreamers & Me is now available in paperback and is now at the Barnes & Noble ebook store. Rock on!
Second *drumroll* it looks like there will be a second Tomcat Jones [...]

I? Am a dork. S’ true. I had more than my usual amount of fun writing the Screen Shots series (which, BTW, start this Thursday at Changeling Press. Hurray!). The cover artist outdid herself with creativity, and I had all these nifties I wanted to do something with.
And so, I [...]

Wild Hunt will be available tomorrow from Loose Id

If they were starting without him –
Delaney cradled his guitar close to his body and hurried uphill. He
followed the flickering light and growing heat of the bonfire, the
sturdy tang of wood smoke, and the chatter of voices mixed with the
chaotic wailing of [...]

Whooo. It’s been a crazy few weeks around here. When a plot bunny bites me, it bites hard with sharp, sharp teeth, and the tensome has its fangs sunk deep.
However, the pronouns? Let’s just say that my editor is likely to kill me. If I don’t drive her to [...]

It’s been a quiet couple of weeks for me, I think. Buried up to my eyeballs in the WIP and at this point am mostly just shambling around muttering “coffeeeeeeee” (the way zombies usually moan for “braaaaaaaaaaains”).
The WIP is going to be a fun little series of novellas, I think. The working [...]

I have had a fantastic day. Some really good family news, and celebrations that involved dulce leche cheesecake and a seriously noteworthy capuccino to accompany it. (Others had a nice dessert wine; for me, it’s coffee every time.)
Writing’s been going great, and I’m thrilled at the popular response to “Tomcat Jones”. Thanks [...]
