I held my books...

My actual books. Held them.

That's all I really want to say. :)

Okay, and that I NEVER could have finished any books, but particularly not these two books, without my good friends Molly and Sinead.

For those of you who've been following this blog for over a year, you'll know that last winter I was, um, a basket case. I had insane deadlines for these two books, especially the second one, because being a total newb I didn't factor in enough time for revisions and line edits on the first, which I had to do during the, um, 8 weeks I had to write the second. (I had a luxurious 10 weeks to write the first one.)

I hit a few points last February, when I did not think I was going to meet my deadline. I remember one night in particular when I called Molly and Sinead in a panic and they came over and talked me in off the ledge, told me I could do it, and even though I hadn't shown them much of the second book, (when did I have time for a proper critique??), listened to me babble about the crazy plot problems I was having and helped me work through them.

I love you guys. :)


Oh, and I'm being interviewed today (and Thurs and Friday) at another group blog I'm part of that's more about promotion. Stop by there if you want a chance to win copies of the books!
