Whats Up Wednesday | Britt DeLaney

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done an update, but believe me, I’ve been busy!

Saturday will be two weeks until the Sexy and Sassy Signing (SaSS) in Norfolk, VA, followed by RomantiConn in Trumbull, CT the following weekend. These are two of my biggest Romance shows for the year and I am really excited for both (tickets are available on Eventbrite for anyone who still needs them). After that comes four more show across the summer and fall. Then it’s a frantic dash to finish and polish the final draft of my holiday novel, SNOWBOUND. This is a contemporary story about a girl trying to get home for the holidays who finds herself stranded – along with her handsome Uber driver – in the Maine wilderness during a snowstorm. Despite the frigid locale, it’s going to be steamy!

Along with all that, I’m planning a key change to my book lineup along with a rebrand (that will include some new covers on old favorites). I’ll unveil it all in December, along with my first title for 2025, so stay tuned. Exciting things are happening!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a writing update, mainly because I’ve been insanely busy with my alter-ego. This has unfortunately, put a pause on some of my romance writing for a short (hopefully) period while I handle some priority items.

Some of you may be aware that I also write as award-winning YA Author L.E. DeLano. My latest YA book just dropped yesterday, so I’ve been pushing out the marketing plan and will be signing at a slew of bookstores and book festivals. In addition, I just reacquired the rights to an earlier YA Fantasy series and I’ve been knee-deep in formatting and re-releasing that.

Finally, I’m set to be a presenter at this year’s Pennwriters conference (also as L.E. DeLano) in a few weeks, and I’m tweaking and polishing that presentation. Once all that is out of the way, I can put a full push on finally getting SPELL CROSSED out the door, hammering out my next anthology, and putting some time into this year’s holiday romance novel – all between working on my next YA book. And holding down a full-time job. And being a single mom. All of this is achieved through a complete lack of social life and entirely too little sleep.

It’s not easy juggling two pen names, a crushing publishing schedule, and a life around all of it, but rest-assured, I’m still plugging away, still pounding the keyboard, and pulling out my hair until it all gets done. Thanks for supporting this insanity, and me.
