Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well
and staying safe!
Well, this has been a crazy couple of weeks,
that’s for certain. In what way? I truly paid for my time off (as I knew I would).
The day job is just crazy busy and for the first time in my life, I feel like I
can’t keep up. It’s all good though. I’m fortunate enough to have a job I love.
What else? I got my edits for The Marshal
& Mrs. Morgan. I don’t know about other writers, but it seems that in each
book, there is a phrase, a word or an action that is used over and over again. In
The Maverick & Miss Miller, everyone breathed. A lot. In this book, it was ‘shrugged’.
Everyone shrugged. All the time. Funny how I didn’t notice that on my first,
second, and third read-through. Also, I had a bad habit of having my characters
shake their head before they said ‘no’. I know. Dumb stuff but it feels like
you get stuck on a particular action or word. Going through the edits, I admit
I sighed a couple times (well, more than a couple) realizing what I had done.
The edits are done now and will be turned in
this week (Monday, actually). I’m pretty excited. My editor is wonderful (and
oh so patient). I also got the cover. I love it! The artists
at Oliver Heber Books are fantastic. What do you think?
And that’s all for me. Gotta strike while the
iron is hot so I’m back to working on The Madam & Mr. MacLean. Stay well!
Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!
