LQ#12 back from the editor

This isn’t the final Lily Quinn update, but we’re not far from it. The final book just came back from the editor… And it was GOOD! The words “stunning” and “outdone yourselves” and “outstanding” were used. Not that there weren’t changes to be made, but the ending of Lily Quinn has largely met with beta readers’ and editor’s approval.

I can’t tell you how relieved I am. Any series is only as strong as its ending. We had the entire story outlines in pretty close detail and Aron even wrote all of the first drafts before the first Lily Quinn book was ever released. But things change – including a lot of the story details. By the time we got to the end, we had a lot of work to do to make it all fit just so.

In the editing and rewrites, I always worried that we missed something. And we did – beta readers came back with some points of confusion that we had to go back and forth with them a number of times to get ironed out. After that was when the manuscript went to our editor, and he didn’t seem to have any of the same confusion. Success! We can’t thank our beta readers enough for going through that with us.

So… this is almost done. I’ve got a few more notes left by me, Aron, Amber and John to go through. Then every book gets a pre-release panic-pass. When that’s done, we’re finished! We’re that close to the end.

Sealed With a Kiss is already available for pre-order, as well as volume 3 of the series, which includes the final four books. We’ll get a print version wrangled just as soon as we finalize the text for book #12. Soon!

SOOOOOOOOOON!
