I have something to celebrate today. I finished my third book for the year. The most I had ever done before was one in six months and only that one for the year. So I’m very tickled.
Now it’s time to redo the synopsis on A Sheriff to Call Her Own. Much has changed including the murderer. In this one, the bad guy was obvious but he wasn’t the true evil. In an odd twist he actually saves the hero and heroine. In fact, I had another twist at the end that made perfect sense and was what I thought of as the Yang to the beginning Ying. Full circle. All connected.
And of course, I need to edit the manuscript plus my other one, Shadow Healer. But before I do any editing, I have to get my entries into RWA for the Golden Heart contest. I’d lost my mind and entered three. When one or more of my entries are finalists (saying when instead of if for confidence) they will give me a chance to send in edited manuscripts. Only a 24 hr window opportunity, but by March they all should be well-edited and ready.
For those who don’t know what Golden Heart is, it’s the Oscars for the romance writer. There’s two divisions. One is for published authors and their published books, and the other one’s for unpublished authors and their finished manuscripts.
Two of my manuscripts were finalists in the Maggies (one in 2007 and the other this year). A contest many consider to be like the Golden Globes for romance authors.
Well, wish me luck.
