On My Horizon
This week already feels like I'm living in Wonderland with Alice, and it's only Monday. The white rabbit seems to be my close companion and has been yelling "We're late, late, late!" in my ear. Okay, okay, I'm listening and I'm writing my blog post right now!
I've been doing a lot of reading this past week. So many good books have been released I couldn't resist, and my body and mind needed to recharge after being sick. Slowly, the new ideas are coming through and maybe another book is on the horizon?
The latest story is still in edits and I've been chewing my nails and squirming in my seat waiting to find out what she thought. New editor for this book, so the nerves are really showing. I did get back one note that she's liking it, so far, but there were a couple spots where it seemed I rushed. *chews another nail to the quick*
The exciting thing regarding this book, at least for me, is the fact that the very talented Catherine Dair has agreed to do my cover. I'm not embarrassed to admit I happy danced all over the RV when she confirmed. This will be my first professional cover and it's a huge step for me. It kind of makes me feel more like a "real" writer, I guess; more serious about what I do.
At this stage, it's a lot of hurry up and wait, and feeling as if I'm going nowhere. In reality, everything is moving along as it should. I'm shooting for a late February/early March release date and planning a cover reveal as soon as its completed.
It looks like the new year is starting off in a good way.
