Update - The Broken Lance
A couple weeks ago, I wrote that the Spokane Novelist Group had reviewed my new last chapter for THE BROKEN LANCE (if you recall, I split my novel in half, the second book title, The Peacekeeper). I made some of the better changes they suggested and submitted to my book doctor (the former senior editor from Harper-Collins) for review. Instead of the trashing that I had expected (believe me, she has really trashed my writing in the past), she had nothing but praise for the ending. She made a few small changes and she deleted the last paragraph, replacing it with a one liner, but that was all.
To say the least, I was delighted. I still will make one more quick pass through the manuscript and then write a two-three paragraph synopsis for a dust-jacket or back cover.
Once I am satisfied with my work, then and only then will I submit to Sunbury Press for their consideration (they have not accepted a manuscript from a new fiction writer in six months, only current ones in their stable. They are changing from a 70 percent fiction/ 30 percent non-fiction rate to a 50/50 ratio. Thank goodness I am part of their stable of current writers) I will keep you up to date.
