Writing hours in March 2016

It’s April 1–April Fools’ Day! But don’t worry; I’m not going to fool you. I’m just reporting in with what I’ve been up to in March.

I’m very happy to say that I just sent the final, edited and revised version of my upcoming historical romance Shaken to the Core off to my publisher. My editor really liked it, so I hope my readers will too. The novel now also has a cover, which I really like. What do you think?

Other than some last revisions for Shaken, I worked on finishing the translation of Just Physical in March.

I also translated my short story “Sex Sells” into German. The German version is available for free here. My English-speaking readers will have to wait until it will be published as part of the Finding Ms. Write anthology.

For the most part, though, I spent March doing research for my next novel, a contemporary romance titled Heart Trouble. I’m hoping to start writing the first draft this weekend.

So, let’s take a look at my working hours in March:
