I'm in the home stretch
Thanks to Webmaster Todd, my site is now hosted on a better, stronger, faster web server. I missed being able to blog on Friday and Saturday, but the server conversion went smoothly over the weekend, and I'm back to blogging Monday thru Saturday.
Update on The Trouble With Demons: Well, I'm in the home stretch. I wrote Chapter 20 on Saturday and Sunday, and I start Chapter 21 today. I'm 12 weeks away from my deadline, and I probably have about 10 chapters to go. I've been averaging a chapter and a half a week (on a good week, I'll do two). So unless I run into any major snags, I should make it. The day after Armed & Magical hits the shelves, The Trouble With Demons is due to my publisher. Whew! I'm gonna be a busy girl. ; ) But once I turn in TTWD, I am taking two weeks off -- no writing (unless I have to), lots of reading (for fun), and lots of rest (because I need it). I'll still be blogging every day (except Sunday), but I just won't be on a deadline. WooHoo! After that two weeks, I'll dive in on Bewitched & Betrayed (aka Raine Benares #4).
Armed & Magical reviews: The reviews are starting to come in for A&M, and as they do, I'll post them here, or post links to them if they're really long. Last week, Laurie did a fabulous review and posted it on The Toasted Scimitar (scroll down to Tues., Feb 5) and Spacefreighters' Lounge (scroll down to Mon., Feb 4). And this Thursday (Valentine's Day), there will be a review on Enduring Romance.
And for your Monday morning cultural enrichment, a YouTube of Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli at last night's Grammy Awards singing "The Prayer" in memory and honor of Luciano Pavarotti. Simply gorgeous! As most of you know, Josh Groban is my choice to play Piaras should MLTF ever be made into a movie. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she? ; )
Coming up this week: Writing a book synopsis (very different from a query letter synopsis), how to keep readers turning the pages, and more.
Have a good one!

I didn't watch the Grammies, so I watched the YouTube video. It was beautiful. And now I know what Piaras looks like. Thank you!
I couldn't stay up that late. So you gotta love YouTube. ; )
So glad that you are still going strong on that deadline! Good luck with the writing! :)
Thanks, Kate!
Glad you're back. I was having blog withdrawals. LOL Great YouTube video.
And would I ever love to see MLTF and/or A&M made into a movie. :)
It felt funny not to blog Friday and Saturday.
Whew, I just finished brainstorming/plotting the next couple of chapters. And better yet, I think they'll work. (I hope.) It's been a long day; I think I'll stop for the night, go downstairs, have a bowl of cereal, and go to bed. ; ) G'night!
