This Week

      Hillary Hermes is  coming out this week! I'm working on the last two chapters this week. Only adding a few things, printing them for a read through to see how they sound .I had to do a good bit of editing you know on this book. It was bascially one hard copyedit with a great editor who helped me look at each chapter.Then from that I learned to self edit, and  many chapters needed to rewritten for flow.  I've been doing that since December.  I promised to publish this winter. Technically it is still winter

Harlequin Horror

I submited to Harlequin.

Thought I would share this. Sometimes I like to see have these publishers have to say
 about Hillary Hermes.

Final Edit

Last printing and read through Monday. I was going to buy a final copy edit, but I think I'll do it myself. It may take longer,but I've learned alot about self editing through this process.

New Book

I wrote 5 pages on book two Friday. I think this book will go much faster.the outline is coming together quite well. Most of it is about Hillary going back home to ancient Greece. I am going to get most of it out of the way in case I decide to go back  school; that takes alot of time. But I'm committed to writing a book a year. I'm thinking about 4 or 5 in the Hillary Hermes series.
