words done for today!

Had to stop, as I was hit by the sleepy stick and need to go and lie down (one of the big bonuses about being at home)

Did a bit of editing over the weekend, in preparation for the re-launch of Frost Fair (I will tell you all about this when I am able to do so, but can’t until the new publisher is ready) and was really surprised at the level of mistakes in the Linden Bay version. My fault entirely, I know – I am a bad proof reader.

Finished “the facts of life” by Patrick Gale this morning. It made me cry – possibly because I’m sensitive to tragic instances in books, but it’s not a keeper, for the reasons I gave the other day. It was all a bit too much “oh look at these poor middle class people who have had a couple of awful things happen to them while they live in their lovely arts and crafts house.”

Frost Fair News!

lj-mood: jubilant

Well I’ve had the all-clear from the publisher.  As you know, I have requested to pull Frost Fair and Speak Its Name from Samhain.  I’ve had the reversion paperwork for Frost Fair – still waiting for them to get back to me regarding SIN, they are being exceedingly slow – and now I can announce that CHEYENNE PUBLISHING is going to be putting Frost Fair on sale as soon as the rights revert from Samhain- which should be August.

The Cheyenne website is soon to be updated with the information when all the paperwork for the titles is in place so I’ll keep you posted regarding this. It’s very exciting, and I’m so happy to be with this publisher I can hardly tell you.

What’s even nicer is that I have had 100 input into my cover. I hated the Linden Bay cover as you know, not only was it likely to have killed the men on the cover, naked in the ice, but at no point did it say “this is a historical story” – the new cover, designed by the gorgeous alex_beecroft, is BELOW THE CUT and while it doesn’t say “male romance” it CERTAINLY says historical. AND IS WONDERFUL!!!!

eta: It will be available as print AND ebook.
