Edits - Finished!
For the past few weeks, I've been working hard on the line edits for Book 3 in my Chilton Crosse series (the title is Seeking the Star, a Christmas novel). Thanks to my editor, Stefanie, for all her help, and for letting the book be what I first envisioned.
Last night, I clicked "send" on the final round. Whew. Edits are tedious and tough, but necessary. In the end, I feel really good about the edits, and about this novel. I've also seen the first draft of a cover (gorgeous!) and can't wait to post the final version on my author page, hopefully in the next week or so. The cover really captures the darker tone of the novel.
Here's a quick blurb of Seeking the Star that I wrote awhile back:
One December night, in the sleepy Cotswold village of Chilton Crosse, a drifter with a mysterious past collapses on George and Mary Cartwright’s snowy doorstep. During the next few weeks, as Christmas cheer spreads throughout the village with decorations and a Dickens-themed festival, Mary nurtures the stranger, Ben, back to health, and becomes curious about the secrets he’s been holding so tightly.
As Ben gains his strength and begins to trust Mary and George, he lowers the wall he’s so carefully constructed. But when Christmas Eve arrives, one of his secrets accidentally comes to light, forcing him to confront the darkness of his past—and to rediscover the faith he’d lost months before. And on that holiest of nights, he finally begins to understand that mercy and forgiveness are meant for him, too.
