It has been a month since I’ve posted about my book to my blog – but it hasn’t
kept visitors away. What have I been doing? You know that I finished HIS Redemption then I took a break –
reading and relaxing. Oh, and I had my hair cut.
So, my fun is over. Time to get back to work. I did take a course
with an agent who reviewed my query letter, synopsis and first two pages of my
manuscript. Good feedback. Now, my ms is with a new critique partner and I’m
biting my nails.
What’s next? Find an editor. I’ve been researching them and wow –
it can cost a small fortune to have a book edited. After editing, formatting
and cover artwork, I wonder how many new authors make up their costs on their
first novel. Oh well, it’s worth it – paperback in hand, priceless.
How about an unedited excerpt from HIS Redemption?
“Look Jesse, I’m sorry to hear this psycho is after someone you
love, but you two,” Kate said pointing her index finger back and forth between
AJ and Jesse, “need to leave me out of this. I want this shooter caught because
he hit me, but I don’t want, or need, protection since no one is after me.”
“It doesn’t matter what you want,” Jesse growled.
Kate stood. She’d had enough. “Unless you can tell me who
the shooter is, then this conversation is over, gentlemen.”
Jesse stood. A grin spread over his face, and she saw a
gleam in his eyes. “No, sweetheart, this conversation is far from over.”
I’ll share some of the reviews of books I read this past month to
give you some summer reading ideas. I also thought I would do a few author
guests posts from time to time for you. If you have authors you’d like to hear
from, let me know.
I hope you have a fabulous week!
