This day
didn’t seem attainable a year ago when I began this novel. The key to success
was plot lines I felt passionate about and a writing partner who encouraged me
every step of the way. She even provided me with the virtual head slap when I
was having second thoughts about publishing at all.
It took
two proofs before I felt comfortable to publish. The first one was marked up
with all sorts of edits. In the second, I found a couple misspellings, missing
end quotes, missing words. Nothing major, but every detail counts when you face
careful readers.
Am I a
nervous wreck? Absolutely, and I wonder if every first time author feels this
way.
It is now
up to my protagonist Caitlyn Jamison and Sheriff Ethan Ewing to strut their
stuff, solve the crimes and bring justice to Upstate New York. They run into a
number of obstacles along the way, but I have every confidence that they will
be successful.
My only
wish is that readers enjoy the story.
This photo is a wonderful addition to your book's cover. It really gives a sense of the natural beauty of the part of New York where Caitlyn Jamison and Sheriff Ewing strut their stuff!
ReplyDeleteMarian: Thanks for the vote of confidence. And for suggesting the little icon on the spine. It really adds a lot and makes the book stand out from all the rest!
