I keep complaining that I’m so busy these days, but really
who isn’t in December? My sister is in the middle of moving so I know she has
it worse than me. Last night I spent a long time cleaning up for the cleaning
lady, moving all the boxes and wrapping paper and such. I haven’t decorated for
Christmas yet. I hope to get that done next weekend. Since LJ and Collin will
be coming in early January we leave our decorations up a little longer than
some.
There is one thing that has kept me very happily busy – I sent
my first non-Cassie book to Blushing Books late last month. I was hoping that
it would be accepted and published by February. It seems that things have
happened much faster than I anticipated. The book was accepted, and it will be
out a few days after Christmas! Sweet Ella helped me with edits early on and Blushing Books assigned me a new editor
through them. She is a lovely lady from Australia and being sixteen hours
different worked out pretty well over all. I really enjoy working with her,
though it seemed fast and furious for a few days.
I’m a little nervous to begin this new series – but I have
begun to get very close to these folks too. Don’t think for one moment that I’m
giving up on Cassie, for one thing she would never allow it! Add to that the fact
that she is one of my best friends. So there will be more Cassie books, but I hope you’ll love the new series
too. The new book is Cal’s Law. Title
suggested by Ella! I’ll be telling you much more about it soon. The edits are
all done and now I’m waiting to see the cover. That’s always exciting and definitely
nerve racking!
So if you get any Amazon cards for Christmas and you’ll
still have time off… well the book should be out by the twenty-eighth of
December. I’m going to need some mental handholding.
Hi PK,Wow, what awesome news, and exciting, congratulations! I can't wait to hear more and just know we are going to love this as much as we love Tom and Cassie :) It would never enter my head that you would give up on Cassie...or that she would let you :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful of Ella to help with edits and the title.

DeleteHoly Publication, Batman! This is happening so fast. I love that they were so eager to get it published. Let me tell one and all that it is quite a good read, and the new characters PK has created are unique. Of course, I am anxious to reread it.
ReplyDeleteYou may think I do not purchase your books if I have already read it, but you would be wrong. I always get it anyway. So proud of you, PK!!
Love,
Ella
I was so excited it was accepted it and then when they wanted to go this quickly I was so happy. Now if they keep talking to me like Cassie does...
DeleteI can't wait :-) Congratulations! Hugs
