Headed back to the editor for line edit.
I've gone through the suggested changes for Saving Will. Again, and again, and again. Today it will be heading back to the editor for line edits. Things like grammar and punctuation. It's getting close to publication! Very exciting!
How far will a mother go when her daughter's life is in danger? As far as it takes.
Rachel Brooks has always considered herself a good person. She's nice and does what she can to help others. She also considers herself a good Christian until she begins to question her very faith when her daughter is in danger. Searching for answers brings her up against other powers in the world besides God. When her path intertwines with with a couple who claim to have powers of their own, she's tempted to use those powers to keep her daughter safe. Will she give in or will she trust that God will make a way even when she can't see it?
Please note: Saving Will can be read on its own, but it has characters from The Scinegue Series in it as well. Reading the Scinegue Series either before or after Saving Will, will make the story just that much more complete.

And ...it's with the editor!
Saving Will is undergoing developmental editing at the moment. I should get it back tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to adding this feedback to the feedback from the beta-readers. I would like to get Saving Will finished up and back to the editor for a line edit this month!

Feedback on new WIP
I've been getting some very helpful feedback on Saving Will from my Beta Readers! It's getting better and better!

Current WIP is with Beta Readers
Saving Will is with Beta Readers!
I have a couple of new volunteers for this book, and I can't wait to get their feedback. My first and most loyal beta readers are my parents which is actually pretty funny because neither of them usually enjoy reading. They claim to love my books though, and as quickly as they read them I think they might be telling the truth! They are great at catching errors that I've overlooked 100 times, and my mom and I have some good laughs at some of the funny things I accidentally write.
Once I get feedback from all the beta readers, I'll make some changes and corrections and then it is off to an editor!
On to the next book!
(Just for fun, here is a peak at the corny DIY cover I'm using for my own purposes until I have one designed.)

Find and replace all ... Don't do it. Just don't do it!
Note: Never do a "Find and replace ALL" on the word Lance. Ughhh!! I changed a name from Lance to Philip in my WIP. Now I have words like baPhilip, ambuPhilip, gPhilip, vigiPhilip. (Just replace "Philip" with "lance" in the previous words to see what they should be.) So now, thanks to my brilliant idea, instead of editing I'm on a "Find" hunt for any forms of the word lance ...— 
feeling crazy.
Edit: Oh, and now I've realized I used the name Philip earlier in the story so I have to change it again!!
