Cool conference call

Well, I'm happy to announce that I'm over the Chapter 3 "speedbump" and am now about a third of the way through the chapter. Yea!

Yesterday after I got home from my day job, I had a conference call with Anne Sowards, my amazing editor at Ace Books. Since I'm just starting to write the fourth book in my Raine Benares series, I wanted Anne's take on things, bounce some ideas off of her -- general brainstorming both for this book and future books. Sometimes I can't see the trees for the forest, meaning a really cool plot twist is right there in front of me, and because I might be focused on the "big picture," I simply can't see it. Or as I like to say, sometimes the obvious eludes me. ; ) Just talking with Anne opened my eyes to some really exciting plot twists -- for Bewitched & Betrayed and future books as well. After I hung up the phone, my brain was going non-stop, popping out new ideas, interesting variations on existing ideas, and opening up a whole new world of possibilities.

Exciting stuff! ; )

BTW -- Webmaster Todd will be updating my website this week to include the cover photo and synopsis for The Trouble with Demons; updates to the HOME, NEWS, EVENTS, and BOOKS pages; adding to the FUN STUFF TO READ page the series of blogs I did on "Things I didn't know until I was published," and more. Keep checking back; the updates should be made in the next few days.
