This blog is owned/operated by an author. I make no secret about that, I’ve never hidden that. I’ve also never understood the fear by some authors of having their work read/reviewed by another author. Why? I welcome having other authors read my work. To have my work viewed through the mind of other writers is an honor, just like it is when actors view/comment on other actors’ work, or when musicians listen to/comment on other musicians work. Art is art and it should be viewed by all, whether you’re in the same field, a different field or just enjoy art.
Write, read, feel, dream. That’s my motto.
Am I a reader? Absolutely – it’s my passion, my escape, my joy
Am I a writer? Without a doubt. The characters in my head are constantly demanding that their story be told.
But above all that – I am a human being. My passion for people is unparalleled, my firm belief in Love is Love unwavering, my hope that all can be accepted, undying. I do not write because I want to, I do it because I HAVE to, because these voices, these beautiful men have chosen me to tell their stories.

Hi Dara
Any release dates coming up for any of your books by both kendel duncan and dara nelson? Please say there is….
Hi Tiffany! Yes! The first book in my Black Ops spinoff series ‘Doyle Global Securities’ called Blackbird Fly Home is coming Sept 26. After that you’ll get a Healing Hearts #3 by Dara Nelson and a Black Ops by Kendel both before the end of the year.
I saw blackbird fly home out but only in paperback. Is there a reason?
Hi Tiffany! The kindle version should be out within a week. I always publish the paperback first and then once that’s approved I submit the kindle version. I’m hoping to have it submitted by tonight.
Hello again Tiffany! The eBook is now available. I really hope you enjoy Noah and Jesse as much as I did.
Any new release dates?
Hi Tiffany! Black Ops 9 is next, around Dec 15 for that one. Then Love Worth Fighting For (Healing Hearts 3) around Feb or so. A few months after that will be Finding Home (Doyle 3).
Hi just curious if black ops 9 is still being released on Dec 15? Thank you
Hi Tiffany! The book just got sent to my editor/beta readers. It should be ready to release on Dec 30 or maybe even by Xmas. Sorry for the small delay but I promise….it’ll be worth it.
I saw the paperback is available. Do you have the date for the ebook release?
Possibly tomorrow. It’s in review with amazon right now.
Thank you. Sorry for bothering you but i get extremely anxious waiting for your books to be released. Merry xmas!
It’s no bother at all. I’m thrilled that you love my boys as much as I do!
Hi just wondering when the nexr releases will be. Any idea when the Doyle book 2 will be out and love worth fighting for? Thanks
Hi Tiffany! Love worth waiting for is with my editor and I’m hoping to release it Mar 3. Doyle 2 will be after that, hopefully by May.
Hi just looking for an update on upcoming releases….thanks
Hi Tiffany! I’m a little more than halfway done with Doyle Securities 2 (Finding my way Home) and still hope to release it by the end of May. After that I’ll be diving into the next Black Ops book and hope to have that one out in September. Thank you!! You’re the best!
Hi again! You know me…I went looking for finding my way home at the end of may and no release…😢..do you happen to have an updated release date! Thanks.
P.s. sorry to bother you but I seriously count the days until a release of your books
Hi Tiffany. Unfortunately I got a bit sidetracked by carpal tunnel and hand surgery. I’m back typing again although a little slower. The book is almost done and should be out by the end of June. I’m so sorry for the delay but thrilled that you enjoy them so much. Ten and Bas are so sweet together. I hope you love them as much as I do.
Hi…me again ☺is the book still going to be released at the end of the month? Also I saw you have a new series coming out…any idea when that will be? As always thanks for taking the time to answer my questions….
Hi Tiffany! Well – life (& illnesses) kind of got in the way so bad news, no not in June. Good news : I have an actual release date of July 25. I’m sorry to make you wait but I hope it’s worth it. And yes, I actually have at least one, possibly 2 new series’ coming along with the next book in the Black Ops Heroes series. Not sure on the order of release yet but I’ll be sure to let you know.

As always, thanks for the quick reply

Hello Tiffany! I’m hard at work on it now and hope to have it to my editor by the 20th of this month with a release date between Oct 31 and Nov 15. I hope that’s soon enough…:)
Hi….update on release date?
Nov 15 is still my best guess. It’s almost done.
Hi hun! It’s almost done so I’m still hoping for a Nov 15 release. Soon, I promise.
Hi what’s the name of the new release coming out in a couple days?
Whiteout Conditions. And it’s not quite done. So release is hopefully Nov 30 now. Got delayed by my broken foot. I will be sure to let you know when I have a firm release date. Would you be interested in being a beta reader on it?
Absolutely. That would be amazing. Just tell me what I need to do

❤️
Just checking in to see how you are and see about any news regarding books.
Hi Tiffany! I’m hard at work on Book 1 in a new series. Hope to have that one out around the end of March. After that will be book 4 in the Healing Hearts series and then book 11 in Black Ops and book 3 in Doyle Global.
Hi Dara
Just checking to see when your next release will be and if the first book in the new series will be out soon. I know it was set to release in March but I haven’t seen it so I’m guess it was delayed.😢Any way any news is great. Hope you are well.❤️
Hi dara. You usually respond back so quickly. I hope all is well. Just wondering if there is an update on your next release. Thank you
Hi Tiffany. I’m so sorry. I missed your question. Things are great but busy. Who we used to be is almost done and I’m pushing hard for a May 30 release date. I’ll be sure to let you know if that changes. Hope you are well.
Nooooooo. Still over 30 days til release day! What am I going to read. No one has released any good books lately and it feels like it’s been forever since I’ve read one of yours☹️ Thanks for the update
Hi Tiffany!
Just wanted to let you know that Who We Used to Be is out June 15 and the preorder is up now at Amazon
Hey any idea when your next book will be out?
Hi Tiffany! Ugh – that is a loaded question. I’m trying to finish one now but keep getting pulled in other directions on other books. Bottom line is – hopefully sometime in October – but I’m moving to a new place then so it might not be until Nov. Once the move is done I’ll be able to settle down and really concentrate.
