Writing the next.... Which book do I pick?

With the release of Praying for Daylight, my mind turns to other books. Knowing which book to write next is always a problem. I have so many on my list, sometimes I have trouble deciding which one to tackle first.

Why is this so hard?

I wish I had an answer.

I only know that I love each of my stories so much, and I have so much fun writing them, that I can never decide which one to have fun with next.

I go through this every time I finish a book. I don’t think I’ll every stop having this problem. Sometimes I feel like a kid in a pet store. I don’t know which puppy to grab first! They all look so wrinkly and floppy! So cute and cuddly! OMG!!!

Well…as I sit at my computer staring at my list of books to write, I am able to reign in my inner five year old, and finally decide, based on a few things.

Here’s how this process of picking the next book to write works for me�

I first sit down to look through what the readers want. I tend to be a people pleaser, so if I get enough messages and emails about a certain book people are wishing for, I can sometimes be coerced. If there isn’t one, then I see which book can be out the fastest. I have always hated waiting for a year or two for the next book in a series to come out, so I can sympathize with readers.

Also, I just have to ask myself, what am I in the mood to write? A sweeping romance with cowboys? A funny book with zombies or a suspenseful book with an evil queen�.

As I write this, I may or may not have come to a conclusion about the next book I’m putting out there.

It may or may not involve cheeseburgers, an ex-supermodel, and a hot cowboy turned bodyguard.

And I may or may not have titled it Tabitha Takes Off.

And it may or may not be out in spring 2014.

J.C. Isabella Okay, I want you all to know I am working HARD on it. I have so many books to get out, it's just taking more time than I had planned. To get you guys through, I'll give you some info, and if I can I'll post the first chap in a couple weeks :)

The third Book is called The Vampire's Protector. It's about Dmitri and Christine, you have met them both before.

The fourth book, untitled, is about Zane and Flora

The fifth book is about Demon Boy. (I am so using that! Going to be in the book as a nickname from the Heroine!)

I hope you guys can hold in there!! Be patient!! I'm doing my best to get it and the other book I'm working on done!
