I will leave the NaNoWriMo post here because I still think it's cool that I completed it way back in November of LAST YEAR. So, for those of you have already read it, you will know it's nothing new - just skip the smaller type below this intro.
A lot has changed since I completed NaNoWriMo. I'm still taking title suggestions but I have one in mind that I think I am going to use. No - I'm not telling what it is because it has not yet been suggested to me here. I will wait until I get MUCH closer to releasing the next book.
Just to keep my readers up to date... Color Me Grey is still free at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and everywhere else I can think of - except in paperback.
This has jump started some sales for me. I'm very grateful to everyone who gives my books a chance. Thank you!
You can suggest a title to me here or on Facebook. If we aren't friends, maybe we should be.

Okay everyone - I've uploaded 56,138 words for the NaNoWriMo project. This means that I've completed NaNoWriMo! Now onto the real story.
I will admit that what I wrote during the month of November doesn't have a whole lot of promise. It did... up until about 35,000 words but then the story took a turn and now it needs to be something entirely different.
It's a bit sad that I have to write 35,000 words of a story before I realize that it's juvenile and just not going to work for my characters. But, that seems to be the way I write, like it or not. Hopefully this little writing endeavor has given me a better story idea to write and I can get it completed in a short amount of time.
I'm STILL asking everyone for their help. I've truly loved each and every title suggestion I've gotten. I am still asking for scene ideas as well too.
I find this very fun and encouraging! It's nice to know there are some people out there interested in what I write.
If I am able to complete "Book Four" of The Alexis Stanton Chronicles I will need a title.
I'm asking everyone to suggest a title for me.
If I choose YOUR title I will send you a copy of the book when/if it becomes available.
(Yes, I said if... If it sucks, I'm not printing it - but then again, if it sucks I won't title it either)
I would love it if you could leave a comment with a title suggestion and your email. The email request is just in case I choose your title I will need to contact you to find out where to mail your free copy.
I'm also open to any suggestions of anything you'd like to read about Grey doing. My story is pretty much plotted out in my head, but I will need little side adventures. However, if you come up with something good, I may just rewrite the whole thing in my head to accommodate your suggestion.
There are some guidelines.
The first three books were all "Something" Grey so I will favor any titles that are similar.
Book One is Color Me Grey
(she becomes Ms. Grey)
Book Two is Shades of Grey
(we are given a larger view on the life of Ms. Grey)
Book Three is Reflections of Grey
(if you've kept up with the series you'll understand and maybe I'll figure out a way to explain without spoilers - eventually. Just know that she doesn't give up being Grey...)
Book Four is Untitled
(can't simplify this one until I've got a little more written)
hmmmm. How about Grayscale????
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great suggestion Tessa!
ReplyDeletePieces of Gray
ReplyDeletePS-- Soooo super excited :)
Thanks Misty! I'm excited too. If I keep getting title suggestions like these I'll have a tough time deciding.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, Greyscale and Pieces of Grey have given me story ideas. I should have thought of this Suggest My Title a long time ago.
Painted Grey, Grey Goose, Make Me Grey, Grey Stone, Turn My Brown Eyes Grey. . . I'll think of more. :-) I love things like this.
ReplyDeleteI like your Sneak Peak! Keep it coming! (I think EOD is Explosive Ordnance Disposal though.)
Keep going! You can do it!
Karen - Great suggestions! AND you are EXACTLY right about the Disposal part. Believe it or not, I had an argument (little argument) with someone about just that not that long ago and here I go and put the wrong one in anyway! Thanks for catching that. I've changed it in the main manuscript and will be changing it here as soon as I finish this comment. :-D
ReplyDelete"Memories of Grey" (but i suppose you'd have to kill her off in the end)
ReplyDelete"No Longer Grey" (sponsored by Nice & Easy hair color products)
"Shadows of Grey" (goes covert)
"Black is the New Grey" (spinoff!)
Thanks Mike! Love your suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI AM going to kill someone in this book - oh wait, I kill someone in every book.
Maybe they'd send me free hair color if I titled my book that way - not that I need it yet. *wink* Doesn't hurt to plan for the near future.
Shadows of Grey is pretty dang cool cuz she's always covert.
Black is the New Grey brings funny pictures to my mind - Not so sure Mr. Black - in all his buff glory - would submit to the gender change. But it could be for a great scene suggestion. The scene in the movie Total Recall when Arnold violently escapes from the mind altering machine comes to mind.
Not sure what story ideas they may inspire, but I'll throw out the suggestions of Fade to Grey (as a play off fade to black) and When Skies Are Grey or just Skies Are Grey (from the "You are my Sunshine" song - and who knows maybe she perfects piloting or skydiving?)
ReplyDeleteWith all these suggestions, I think you're going to have to make the series longer! (...and I really hope you do!!)
Ok, these are without reading it, but I was having fun playing with names. LOL. I'm excited to see you're working on another one!
ReplyDeleteVisions of Grey
Basic Grey
Fade to Grey
A Sense of Grey
A Touch of Grey
I got these suggestions from Facebook - Thanks Jean!
ReplyDeleteOK. Here are my suggestions:
It Happened One Grey
Grey Happenings
I have to say I really like It Happened One Grey...
I'm really loving all these suggestions everyone. Thank you so much for helping me out.
Thank you Lisa and Dawn!
ReplyDeleteFade to Grey and Basic Grey are the two that really catch my eye.
Though I like Grey Skies too. A Sense of Grey and A Touch of Grey! Geeze these are all good!
I love it everyone! This is fun for me. I hope you are all having fun too. ;-)
Here are some more.
ReplyDeleteA Scent of Grey
Codname: Grey
Must be Grey to Play
Finally Grey (depends on if you are writing more after this. Would be a good one for a series end)
A Trace of Grey
Just saw this old proverb. It made me laugh and I thought of you.
ReplyDeleteAll cats are grey in the dark!
I love that Tessa! I'd never heard that one. I'm glad you're thinking of me.
ReplyDeleteIn a Grey Area
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I should have said:
ReplyDeleteAreas of Grey
Oooh - I like Areas of Grey. Thanks Diana!
ReplyDeleteMight just have to pick my top choices and draw out of a hat!
My faves so far: Black is the New Grey; A Touch of Grey; and It Happened One Grey. You've got some AMAZING suggestions here! :-) How fun.
ReplyDeleteKaren - I love those too. Of those three you mentioned I think A Touch of Grey is my favorite but not necessarily my overall favorite - don't have one of those yet.
ReplyDeleteHowever, A Touch of Grey might just have to become The Touch of Grey - maybe.
These suggestions are spectacular but this is going to be so hard!
I think once you're finished writing it, it will be easier to pick one. One will fit more than the rest, you know?
ReplyDeleteYes, having the book completed will give me an entirely new outlook and choosing the title will be much easier. But that doesn't mean I don't want more suggestions. :-) Having someone pop in and give me a suggestion really keeps me motivated to finish!
ReplyDeleteIt Happened One Gray makes me think of other plays on the grey/day rhyme...
ReplyDeleteOne Fine Grey
Grey by Grey
One Grey at a Time
Night and Grey
Sign of Grey
ReplyDeleteSigned by Grey
Sealed in Grey
Sealed by Grey
Choices of Grey
Chosen by Grey
Practice of Grey
Knights of Grey (for her team)
Day of Grey
Are you getting tired of them?
Of course if you think of "signed, sealed delivered" that could be a a series within the series.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind me - I'm in a rambling mood today.
Diana (agesandeons@hotmail.com)
Thanks for all the title suggestions! I DO want more - if anyone is interested in suggesting them. If there is anything you'd like to see Alex try like maybe bungee jumping or going on vacation during spring break in Florida, let me know. I'm having a ton of fun with all of this and love it when anyone makes any kind of suggestion!
ReplyDeleteHi,sweetie.
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since anyone suggested a title for you JC, and I want to read the book! So hurry up and finish it and name it Living Grey since Alex is now firmly in her Ms. Grey persona ;)
ReplyDeleteHow about...
ReplyDeleteBecoming Grey
I think it can be a great title and a refelction to your ongoing story.
I do like Becoming Grey! Thank you for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI really love this series and all the "colorful" characters. Not only is Ms Grey interesting, but I love each one of the guys too..., And you've written them so we want to know more about them as well. Hint - hint. Hey! How about a Hint of Grey?
ReplyDeleteJC,
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading all of your (3) Grey series of books this week-end on my Kindle. I enjoyed the books tremendously and cannot wait for the next. You are a very gifted writer. I have attempted in the past to read action books like yours written by a female. I just could never get past the first 5-10 pages. These books captured my attention from the first page until the last. I might add that in addition to fabulous and great reading. I found it extremely interesting to view the world and situations from the female perspective. Please continue to write and I certainly hope you keep the Gray series going.
Thanks for the wonderful comment, Anon. I'm glad you enjoyed the books. I had a great time writing them. I would LOVE to be one of those "repsected" authors, but this series is for fun and I'm so glad it's reaching an audience that was looking for what I was while writing them.
ReplyDeleteI just finished the 3 books that are out on my nook!! And I love them so much! I can't stop reading them!! They are so great at times I get goose bumps from whats happening!!! I can't wait for more of the series to come out!!! thanks for the great read!
ReplyDeleteJust a question, If your book "sucks" even though I am sure it wont, is there any possibility you would be willing to post it some where. When I really like a serious, I get really excited for the next one, to the point where that is like the only thing I want to do, read the next book, and this is how I have been feeling for the last month since I finished the first 3 books!!!!! Its a really bad longing, that will not go away!!!
ReplyDeleteKitchenlizzard - What a great compliment. I have posted the first chapter here on my blog, somewhere. I do post writing samples from time to time here on my blog. Just keep in mind that they are always without real editing so will be rough.
ReplyDeleteIf I don't finish the book I won't be posting it anywhere. That would just infuriate me, as a reader. However, I may have a scene coming up on HerBookSelf - a book blog. It's a great blog if you haven't checked it out yet. Here's a link: http://herbookself.blogspot.com/
Also, I checked out your blog as well! How cool!
For anyone else who reads my blog you really need to check out KITCHENLIZZARD. Here's a link: http://kitchenlizzard.wordpress.com/
I read the chapter you posted, and it made me supper excited for more to come!! The beginning is great, and if you do indeed get the rest finished, I am sure it will just be Fabulous, edited or not!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog suggestion to HerBookShelf, that really interesting, I will have to check hers, and yours, for any sneak peeks to the fourth book! :)
Thanks for actually reading my blog, its just something fun to do on the side when I have extra time.
Anyways thanks for awesome writing!!
I just got an instant chat message (and THIS one I saw before the poster was long gone.)
ReplyDeleteHere is what she wrote:
Miranda Coman: im sure u already have a dozen or more in ur favorite category but i saw that some titles gave u ideas to the storyline and wanted to help. I dont want u to not like it enough to publish ^_^
Thank you, Miranda! I really do like that title and IT is now on my favorites list. :-)
What about " A Touch of Grey "
ReplyDeletethe Simplicity of grey
ReplyDeleteA Touch of Grey and The Simplicity of Grey are both great!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to encourage you in addition to everyone else here...I downloaded the first book for free and I was hooked! I read them all in less then 24 hours...I can't wait to read the 4th book!! The thought of you not continuing when you have enthralled us all with your characters so far is rather disappointing...at least tie it all together is all I can request. As for titles I'm not sure if I can really add to anything that hasn't been already mentioned...they all sound so great! Personally I like "A Hint of Grey" or "Signs of Grey" mainly because Alex is already "Ms. Grey" and with her taking on her new role and following in the footsteps of her Mom now I think that these titles are outstanding if you plan on making Grey the assassin she is. Her leaving a calling card means she is leaving "hints." Just saying it has great potential depending on where you plan on taking the story, series, etc. I can only hope that you plan on more or at least tying up the loose ends. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you and I am so sorry I didn't reply to your comment until now. I didn't realize, but I have neglected several comments here on my blog.
DeleteI love your title suggestions and will most definitely give them some thought as I continue to write the 4th one.
The book has evolved again and again and I'm hoping, if I ever release it, it won't be disappointing to my readers.
Here are some ideas:
ReplyDelete- Fortunes of Grey
- Most Things Aren't Black & White OR Not Everything is Black & White
- Neutral Grey
- Warm Grey
- Cool Grey
- Dark Grey
- Greying
- Dressed in Grey
- Variegated Grey
- Greyout
- Grey or Gray (The introduction of a new character?)
- Penumbral Grey
Very nice suggestions! Thank you so much!
DeleteI've only read the first two books so far and love them! I've got the 3rd on my Kindle already but giving my brain a little break for the rest of the day before I start reading it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're still planning on the 4th book as I'm enjoying them so much. As I'm posting from England staring out at a very gloomy sky I felt the need to comment and suggest 'A Grey Day' for the next title. No idea if that's in line with how the characters develop in the book but it's all that's in my head at the moment (not helped by the fact that I'm now also listening to Madness - Grey Day!)
I also just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying reading a book where the female lead isn't waiting to be rescued and although has feelings in the love department isn't rendered completely hopeless by it. It's very refreshing and I'm really looking forward to reading the 3rd book tomorrow :-D
I like A Grey Day! I'm so happy you enjoyed the story, so far. I hope you like Reflections as well.
DeletePlease write a fourth book. I am sooooo hooked! I want to find out what happens between White and Grey. You have so much potential here. Please dont leave us hanging. Keepup the great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am still writing, so I haven't given up on the 4th book yet. If I ever release it I will be posting about it here!
DeleteI have just finished reading all 3 grey books and I am completely hooked, please keep up the writting I am loving all the diferent characters but especially love Grey and White, I have also just read the first chapter of the fourth book, how much longer do we have to wait for the completed book?
ReplyDeletekeep up the great writting
Thank you for commenting to let me know you enjoyed the books! I don't know how much longer it will be before I release the 4th book. I have to be sure I like it well enough to claim it first. (Oh and there is that pesky detail about finishing it, too.)
DeleteMetamorphosis of Grey (if she follows her mom)
ReplyDeleteA Whiter Shade of Grey (if you finally hook her up w/White)
I read the trilogy in 4 days, please write faster :)
Oooh - I like both of those titles. This is going to be a tough decision if I ever finish writing the darned book!
DeleteHow about Grey Matter? She is taking over for her Mom, and an accomplished sniper, brain matter is a must. Also, from where she is in her growth and understanding of her life, she'll start to realize what truly matters.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see a fourth book. I'm an avid reader and love this series. Keep up the good work
I like Grey Matter! I will admit that my husband came up with one that is currently the working title. I won't say what it is because it is not listed here. I want to give people a chance to guess it.
DeleteI've been working with a narrator for the audio version of Color Me Grey and it has renewed my excitement for these characters. I hope I can get back into the 4th book real soon.
LOVED THE BOOKS CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE.

I read the series in a few days and would love to see White and Grey go on a date at least...I love all the characters and have enjoyed reading about all of them. Keep it up:)
ReplyDeleteWhat about "A Lighter Shade of Grey" as a title?
Thanks for the title suggestion! I should write a quick and light Grey short story for your title. I'll give it some thought and see if I can come up with something.
DeleteI read all 3 books this past week and can't wait for the 4th! I absolutely loved reading them! I caught myself staying up until 2 a.m. reading them, which isn't too smart when you have 2 little boys that will be up by 8....
ReplyDeleteHow about "Deep Grey", "All things Grey" or "Whiter Grey"(that's if Grey and develop a romance)?
I'm sorry I kept you up! I know how that works or actually doesn't work with two small children that are up early. Mine are generally up before 7AM. I love the title suggestions!
DeleteI cannot believe the first book was free. I would never have been introduced to this series had I not been passing time with free ebooks as I awaited Kate 6 by Ilona Andrews. I love these types of female characters. Like others above, I just wrapped the 3 book series up over the past 3 days.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've shaped Alex's character. I love the slow buildup between her and White. I love that you give her a greater purpose outside of just a romantic hook-up. A woman with purpose is exactly what I love to read about. Many kudos to you, and I really hope the series continues.
I know that you already have a title for your next book (as per your husband's suggestion). But I'll throw this one out there anyway. I've seen the suggestion for Shadows of Grey above, but I was thinking more SHADOWS in GREY given the shady upbringing by her folks. I enjoyed their intentions, but the murkiness of being handled that way borders almost on genetic manipulation after the fact--and, thus, cannot be ignored.
Oooh - genetic manipulation! :-D Now THAT'S an idea. If only I'd been writing scifi! I might have to move to a different genre. All of these comments and suggestions give me so many ideas. Thank you so much for the suggestions and insight. I love it!
DeleteI didn't know if you meant to ask for scene suggestions for Alex's books, but here's my suggestion:
ReplyDeleteAlex touched on the fact that her mother was always in the background throughout her childhood. Why did her mother insist on Alex being trained from childhood, but take a background role in the actual training steps? Alex's relationship with her mother reminds me of how a child abandoned by a parent interacts differently with that parent than the parent accompanying them at every point of their growing years. The treatment is so unfair to the parent who is there in the thick and thin, but the child is so afraid of the absentee parent once again abandoning them they're willing to allow them lee-way not afforded the present parent.
Again you've stimulated thoughts and avenues! I've read something similar about abused/neglected children. They favor the abusive parent.
DeleteHow about "A grey Area" you know the place between Alex and Penumbra. Just my thought
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestion! I've actually written some pieces where Alex struggles with being Alex, Grey or Penumbra...
DeleteI think these books are great. I can't wait until the fourth one comes out. I am courious to see what happens between grey and white. I'm also curious to see if you put lacewell in the book as well and to see what happens between the three of them, you could definatly have some drama their. You could call your next book losing touch of grey. and it could be about her not wanting to keep waiting around on white and have her go off mostly on her own as penumbra. just a suggestion. thanks
ReplyDeleteQuite insightful! I'm not going to give anything away by telling you this, because I've not completed the 4th book, but I hope to make Penumbra a bigger character. And, to be fair, Grey and Penumbra truly are not the same person. :-)
DeleteIn each of the books, you provided a glimpse of Alex’s vulnerability (not necessarily weak, but of a womanly soft nature) but she always shook it off so as not to reveal that side of her. By no means do I see Alex’s character as someone who is weak; however, I believe a sensitive side of her does exist. I would even venture to say that it is the side that really wants to reveal herself to White instead of being so rigid.
ReplyDeleteYour 4th book should continue to put Alex in exciting adventures that demonstrate her resilience, determination, confidence and strength, but also show a shedding of layers, if you will. Don’t get me wrong, I really like the way you have developed her character; however, by revealing the underlying layers of who Alex really is will, in my opinion, give readers like myself, the opportunity to see the true Alex.
So, what are those characteristics of Alex letting her hair down that can be revealed behind closed doors when she doesn’t have to be the hard-nosed, rigid girl in front of her partners? How does her character feel when she reveals this side? Does she see it as a sign of weakness? Does she think it will interfere with her position and make her lax on the job? How would you have developed her character even further if she if she truly were attracted to a guy on a blind date? Let us see who the real Alex is and like her even more than we do already. Maybe she can reveal this side to Black and he can open up more about who he is to her because after all, Black is fond of Alex and he is also someone Alex trust. She trusts White also, but she is more reserved and timid when it comes to him.
I don’t know if this makes sense to you or not; however, having said all of that, I think the next book could be called, “The Shedding of Grey,” The Expose’ of Grey,” or “The Rendering of Grey.”
I also have two other suggestions, "Traces of Grey" or "Tinges of Grey"
DeleteNow this is just what I needed to read. I'm just afraid of showing her softer side as she is. She's not nearly as interesting when she's not Grey - or so we think.
DeleteMaybe a little more drama could be acceptable, but then she'll have to kick our butts after we see the "Softer Side of Grey." ;-)
Maybe just enough to let us see her in another light. I want her to continue to kick our butts and be unpredictable. I also note your title. Hmmmm, very nice!!! I like that too!!! :)
DeleteThanks for your response!!
I would like to get to see more of Alex's feminine side,I think she needs to show that more. Where is that Girl that at the beginning of book one who said "being a boy was better than being a girl, But being a Woman was better than being a man," or something like that. that's the Alex I want to see.(By the way I loved that line.) In book two at The dinner with her parents, The way she handled the whole dinner set up was great and that double date in book 3, it let us see that she wasn't afraid to show off that woman that she's been hiding inside, since she started at White & Associates.
DeleteShe has been in the world of White and Associates for a while know and it's great when she really lets that feminine side show,(not that I don't love the strong tough character that she is.)She is always talking about dancing and getting lost in the music, not being afraid to show of some skin in a sexy clubbing outfit. Maybe through in few adventurous dates into the mix for to have fun along with all that excitement. I hope that we get to see more of her like when she is with Will, she lets herself be feminine, flirty, and have fun. All while still find out if White really is the man for her.
Do you have an idea when the book will be finished? I'm so excited! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for my late reply and I'm also sorry that I don't have a release date for the next book. :-(
DeleteHi i wrote earlier about calling the book losing touch of grey, but i was thinking about maybe calling it Shedding of Grey, because if she decides she doesnt want to wait for White and goes on as penumbra. She starts doing less of her gray job. Thanks. Becky G.
ReplyDeleteOooh - I like Shedding of Grey. Thank you for the suggestion!
DeleteI just read all three books this weekend! I read quite a bit and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the book series! I am excited to see what happens next because I care about the characters. You are a great writer and I will be keeping a look out for the next book, whatever you call it.
ReplyDeleteWestern Nebraska Reader!
Western Nebraska Reader!
DeleteThank you so much for your comments! My dad is a native of Nebraska and it is pretty country.
I'm not sure when/if I'll ever finish this fourth book. I've got plenty of excuses, three of which are my daughters. They keep me busy, but I am trying to get it done. I've even enlisted a friend to help keep me on track. She's very motivated and organized so I'm hoping she'll rub off on me.
Fabulous storytelling! I really like the way you have slowly developed each character. I also like how much further you have left it to take. It is hard to discuss in an open forum without spoilers. Thank you for the experience. Can't wait for the fourth !!
ReplyDeleteI was hooked on the first book and read the other 2 and loved them also . I do hope you write another to complete the storyline, I think after 3 yrs of asking for us to come up with a title for the new GREY|WHITE saga you would have at least a short story for us to read. But this is my own opinion - I just want to read more.
ReplyDeleteJust read the first chapter and WANT more !! title maybe: GREY DAYS
ReplyDeleteHow about Grey Dawn, or Steel Grey, or Grey's Chance or just Grey or Grey's choice or What the Grey? (just kidding with that one).
ReplyDeleteWhat about Depths of Grey?
ReplyDeleteI've been reading the series and am only in the second book very close to the end (I would have finished it, but it was 11 am and I hadn't slept yet!) and I'm scared to read all of them because they are so good and I know I'll want more! Everyone says they haven't been fulfilled yet so I hope you have the drive to push through and all your readers will be here to support you. I can tell just from the first to the second book how your writing improved, which delighted me as a reader. The story to me seems seriously unique because she is this bad ass chick, but she doesn't have the bad ass attitude which would keep her in the realm of fiction, instead she is a little socially awkward keeps to herself mostly and doesn't dangle the men around. It's great. There is also a refreshing pace with her and White because instead of it becoming more and more obvious about their feelings for each other and then the reader becoming annoyed, it's instead kept as mysterious and something that changes, Grey is really upfront about her feelings instead of being cheesy like some books. Keep up the good work and I'm glad I found the first book on accident on the nook! :D

ReplyDeleteChoices of Grey
ReplyDeleteGrey chrossing (seems to be at a crossroads of many choices)
I must say the trilogy had me enthralled. ,....done in three days.I am an avid reader and love following series books. I can hardly wait for your next one! You are a blessed writer and I know we will not be disappointed. :--) You have just gained a dedicated reader and follower of your series. Stay blessed and keep writing!
ReplyDeleteI read all 3 books and fell in love with each and every member of the team. I am anxiosly awaiting the next book. I am of course wanting Mr. White and Ms. Grey together. I love their tension. My suggestion if this is the last book is ....Grey Matters as in she finally matters to Mr White
ReplyDeleteI have read all three books twice now and really enjoyed all of them. Cannot wait for book 4 to come out. I would like to see Grey come out of her shell so to speak around White. As for a title suggestion how about White to Grey, especially if you are planning for them to be together. There relationship could mirror her parents relationship, since she has taken on the Penumbra persona.
ReplyDeleteAre you committing to a 4th book. I really hope so.
ReplyDeleteLove for Grey
ReplyDeleteEvolving Grey, Revelation of Grey,
ReplyDeleteor Evolutions of Grey....
I am anxiously anticipating book 4!!! I would love to see Alex and Rick finally together. Maybe through the evolution of their relationship, you could have her reflect on her childhood up to that moment she first laid eyes on him at her home. In her revelation, her feeling for him can no longer be denied and she can finally go to him. Perhaps Colin can die during a mission triggering her not wanting to loose White and he can take over for the Admiral so that they can be the new "it" couple....perhaps have a little sniper of their own. That might end this series, but there is always the possibility of a spin off series with "Generation of Grey" focusing on the offspring.
Just finished reading your wonderful books, I AM HOOKED!!!! You are a wonderful writer and story teller! I look forward to part 4 of the installment. Keep up the good work. Yay for you as the writer and Yay for us as readers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShades between White and Grey
ReplyDeleteOOPS .. Many shades between White and Grey.
Delete"Grey Area" living as Ms. Grey and becoming penumbra, it all comes with a price.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the price of being grey? A deeper shade of grey
ReplyDeleteHow about "Fade to Grey"? Oh please finish the book and I really hope White and Grey get together, and not Will!!
