Galleys

Galleys were received, checked and sent back to the publisher. Hopefully, this is a good sign that they are actually going to stick to the June 1st release date. *crosses fingers*

Book 2 - complete. *pats it*

Book 3 - well on it's way. Now... how much do I know about Church law? Not enough.. time for more study.

Damon & Pythias - on hold for Book 3, at the moment.

And now my editor is wanting an outline, or at least prodding strongly for me to set up plotlines for a second Herrick trilogy set about 20 years after the end of Book three.

I really need to quit my day job. Really.

Note to self: Win the lottery so that day job may be quit.

Understanding comes too late

One of the marvellous things about being busy with editing spaces in your galley proof is just how time-consumed you actually are.

One of the not-so-marvellous things is realising that yes, you did in fact agree to write all those things, and yes, actually, a deadline is looming.

How sad, when a deadline feels like a declaration of undying love.....

Lots of writing

Inspite of delays on the publication of Book one, Book 2, "Song at Morning" is now complete. I've also gotten quite a bit done on Book 3, "Shivered Glass". That's it for that series, unless I decide to look back at them from sometime in the future or write something with the younger characters.

I've also got about 30,000 words done on another novel, "Damon and Pythias". The plot is the same as the legend but with a lot of their history and some humor.

So, I'm very busy. Too busy, I hope, to get too frustrated with how long the publisher is taking. *L*

Good luck with this, huh?

New Date

Well, I have yet another new date for the release of "Icy Pavements" - June 1st. It's a bit discouraging to have to wait longer, but I keep hoping its for the best. You always like to think it's so that something can be better, more perfect, before the release, but the waiting is a killer. *G*
