“Say Yes to the Soccer Player” is out!

Published by Abby on November 14, 2016

The second novel in my “Say Yes” series of lesbian romances has been published! It has been out for about a month now and I have been floored by the response. I had my best sales day ever since the launch, and then beat that number! Thank you so much to everyone who bought the book and left such great reviews. Your support is what keeps me at the keyboard.

I’m now hard on work on my next entry in the series, “Say Yes to the Ex.” This book will follow Alice and include characters from the previous books in the series as the supporting cast. A lot of people have been wondering about Beth’s injury from “Say Yes to the Soccer Player.” I will definitely be giving an update on that in “Say Yes to the Ex” and expanding on a thread that I’ve been developing since the first book in the series, “Say Yes to the Cheerleader.” I don’t think anyone’s picked up on it yet, but I hope it’ll be fun for the readers when it’s revealed!

Sneak peek of “Say Yes to the Soccer Player”

Published by Abby on July 29, 2016

So I’m still working on my second book in the “Say Yes” series, but I wanted to share an excerpt of it since I’ve had so much fun writing it. Enjoy!

But quickly enough another sound had filled my ears: the beating of my heart as it sped up as I saw that not only was there someone else in our regular spot, but that she was also super pretty. That meant my usual reaction to being within 200 feet of an attractive female kicked in: nervousness with a side of frozen panic.
I knew it was stupid to react that way. But I couldn’t help it. I liked to think of myself as being cool and having no problem talking to girls, but the reality was the exact opposite. I put too much pressure on myself when I met someone new so that I psyched myself out enough to leave me a stuttering mess half the time.
The other half I was silent which I considered an improvement.
The woman hadn’t seen me yet and I considered turning around and waiting for everyone else back around the corner, but bravery or stupidity stopped me. Instead I shuffled over to one of the empty tables in the alcove and laid out my lunch, being very careful not to look over at the only other person there.
I was afraid that if I got another glimpse of her I’d end up staring like an idiot.
With my back to her I settled down to wait and pulled out my phone. No new texts, and I was just checking the first of a few new emails when a voice a lot closer than I expected said, “Excuse me?”
I jumped so high my knee hit the flimsy table and I had just enough time to catch it before it toppled over onto the floor, taking my lunch with it.
“Woah, sorry about that. I didn’t mean to scare you. I was only wondering if you had a USB phone charger I could borrow,” the voice, which I realized belonged to the super pretty woman, said.
Once I got my breathing under control enough to answer her I turned to look at her.
Big mistake.
I didn’t think I had a “type” of girl since they all seemed wonderful, but at that moment I was sure tall brunettes with long hair were definitely my type. Especially if they looked like they were trying to hold back from laughing at me.
That was really attractive.
“Sorry,” I answered as I held up my iPhone. I internally cursed at the sleek designs of Apple for seducing me into buying their hardware. None of which used USB chargers.
“No problem. Thanks anyway.”
As she grabbed her backpack and walked away all I could do was stare. The way her hair moved behind her was mesmerizing.
She had been gone from my sight for a bit when a more familiar voice broke into my thoughts.
“Oohh, does Jenny finally have a girlfriend?” my arch enemy, sometimes friend, mocked gleefully.
I looked behind me to see Haley, Kate, and Marie all with food in their hands and expressions on their faces telling me that they had seen if not the entire encounter with the other woman then enough to make my life difficult.
Damn.

Writing and publishing “Say Yes to the Cheerleader” has been a dream come true. It was so much fun to write, and I’m so happy at the great response it’s gotten already. I’m planning more entries in the “Say Yes” series of lesbian romance books. Up next is a sort of “deleted scenes” novella called “The Missing Dates.” It’s from Kate Monroe’s point of view and covers the two week time jump that was in “Say Yes to the Cheerleader.” Just a little peek into the first few dates of Haley and Kate’s relationship. Hint: some go better than others.

And this summer be on the lookout for “Say Yes to the Soccer Player!” Jenny Jeffries loves college: the late nights in the dorms, the parties, and especially the girls. If only she could work up the courage to actually talk to one of them. When the star forward for the university’s women’s soccer team crosses paths with her will Jenny finally find the relationship she’s always been looking for? Or will their romance receive a red card before it can even begin? (Okay, sorry for that soccer pun, but it had to be done!)
