Yikes! It's the last month of the year already.
As always,
I'm still writing away. My next deadline
is February 1, and I now have lots more information about the book I'm
currently working on, which I talked about in my blog a couple of weeks ago. Then, I bemoaned the fact that it doesn't
have dogs in it. Well, it still has no
canines, but I'm still having fun with it.
And some of the information I related then has changed or solidified.
It's a
Harlequin Romantic Suspense novel, the second in my miniseries about the
Identity Division--a fictional part of the U.S.
The first
in the series was COVERT ATTRACTION, a December 2013 release. I've just recently learned that the title of
the one I'm working on now will be COVERT ALLIANCE, one of the titles I
proposed for it but not the working title I had mentioned before. In addition, I now know that its publication
date will be August 2016.
That's not
very far off in the publication world, and I've been told that if I can send my
manuscript earlier that would be appreciated.
I'm far enough along that doing so is a possibility. In addition, I've already completed the Art
Fact Sheet for the story that Harlequin requires be filled out online to help
give them information needed for cover art, blurbs, and foreign sales.
I'm far
enough along in the process to anticipate soon the send-off of the
manuscript--and my ability to jump into the next book for which I'm under
deadline, the third Barkery & Biscuits Mystery.
And...
well, I'm a writer. My mind keeps
calling to me, insisting that I plot another mystery series idea. I'll at least get a proposal together for it. Don't know if it'll sell, or, if it doesn't,
if I'll be so committed to it that I'll write it anyway and then self-publish
it.
But, hey,
you won't be surprised to hear that it involves dogs!

Linda, It sounds like you have a lot on your plate and all of it is good.
I could say the same about you, Betty. :)
