Hey everyone!
I’ve been getting some messages and questions about my release schedule and what’s coming up next for me and I figured it was a good time to write a post with some updates on me personally and in the book world. 🙂
First off, I want to thank ALL of you for all the love and support you have shown me and my books. I am so amazed and honored at how well received the Take It Off series is. So, thank you because I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for all of you readers/friends.
So 2014 is only a few months old and its already been a crazy year for me! It’s been a whirlwind and at times hard to keep up with everything. Tattoo just released and its been doing really well (thank you!) so I am really excited about that. And just last month Tricks came out and that too is doing well.
Some of the more avid readers want to know when the next books is coming out. AÂ lot of people are asking about Tryst. Here’s what I can tell you: I don’t have a release date yet. Yeah, that sucks. lol. But, I plan to have it out late April or early May.
I know that isn’t as fast as most of you want or have even come to expect with the Take It Off series, so allow me to explain.
I think many of you remember when I talked about my dog being attacked right before Christmas by a large pit bull (it came into my garage and tried to kill my dog…) That was actually a very difficult time for me. I know it might not seem like such a thing to throw a person for a loop, but for me it really threw me. And then, some other things came to my attention in the neighborhood that I live in… and I became a rather fearful person. I have anxiety, I’ve always been a worrier and I always have created what if scenarios in my head, but I’ve never really been afraid to go outside. But I stopped walking my dogs. I stopped getting the mail. I shut my garage door before I even got out of my car. The neighbors 4 large barking dogs suddenly seemed louder and more distracting. Etc… you get the point.
The thing is we lived here for a little over 4 years moved away then moved back less than a year later (thank you Marine Corps) and when we came back the neighborhood was not as nice as it had been. Now I’m not saying its horrible awful or anything but it just became strikingly clear that this wasn’t where I wanted to be.
Have you ever had that happen to you? You just suddenly see what you really want and don’t want? Like I clearly see I NEED coffee on a daily basis.. ha ha ha. Anyway, We’d just been through 2 moves and we’d spent the past 10 years moving every 3 years due to my husbands job. Im tired of moving. My kids wanted to be in the same school with their friends, and my husband is coming up on retirement. We always knew we would settle somewhere after he retired. We always assumed it would be up North. Until we had to move from here (NC) and I missed it so much.
yes, I’m rambling… I’ll get to the point. I started looking at houses for sale. I found one. We didn’t think it would work out. But, it did.
We close this Friday on our new house. I feel pretty sure to say that its my dream home. I hope I never have to move again. LOL! Its much larger than the house we live in now and its in a very safe, nice neighborhood. And I get my own large office!!! yay!
I gotta tell you that you all helped make this a reality. Its because of your support of my books that we were able to get the home we’ve always wanted. So, for that I will always be thankful. Thank you for reading my books, for buying them and for allowing me to do what I love.
I’m sure many of you are curious about the house, so I will give you peak.

That’s the front and the view from my bedroom window.
As you can imagine I have been pretty busy! Through writing and releasing both Tricks and Tattoo I have been in the process of buying a house and at the same time trying to rent out the current home we live in. It was a while of showings, and constant cleaning and paperwork and more paperwork… (I swear when you buy a house they want everything from you including your organs and your blood!) we’ve had meetings at the house, with the painter, etc. I’m definitely NOT looking for sympathy or anything all this has been REALLY great, its just time consuming. And also, Cambria Hebert Books became official. It is now and LLC!
We are officially moving in over the weekend and going to be getting settled next week. I am hoping to get settled quickly and then I plan to dive back into writing and the Take It Off series. Its just been a bit hard to balance it all right now because I’ve had so much going on. So with that being said, I am not as far along as I wanted to be with TRYST. Yes, its coming out. Just a couple weeks later than I hoped. After Tryst I want to put out Roxie and Adam’s story (remember them from TEASE?) I know a lot of you are waiting for their book.
After TRYST and TRASHY I have a couple other Take It Off novel ideas and I also have several other books ideas beyond the TIO series. All my ideas are currently in the new adult/adult genre.  So hopefully, you will all enjoy those as well. Also in the coming months my writing is being included in 4 box sets. One of those (the one in July, Naughty Box set 2) will be a brand new story from me.
Anyway, I hope you can all understand why TRYST is a bit delayed but know that it is coming out and hopefully it will be worth the wait —-> can I just say trying to write a book to live up to what you all deserve is VERY hard? lol.
I will keep you updated on all things books and cambria hebert land-ness.
Thanks for coming by!!
Congrats!!! Yayee!!
Congratulations on finding your ‘forever’ home! Have also been there, done that, after way too many moves. Don’t be surprised if you find there are people in your life who will question whether you can truly settle down after such a gypsy lifestyle and whether you can really be satisfied with what you think you’ve found – believe me, you can 🙂 After 12 years of upheaval, we found our forever home a few years ago now and our family has never looked back. As an avid reader of the “Take It Off” series, I’ve been impatiently awaiting “Tryst”, but I fully understand where you’re at. I hope you take your time, because good writers earn that right and we, the readers, will appreciate the end product that much more 🙂
thank you so much! congratulations on your ‘forever’ home! I so appreciate your patience while waiting for Tryst. 🙂
Love the series and can’t wait for the new one. Congrats on the house
