Monday writing update
Here's a great review of The Trouble with Demons by Keri Honea over at Suite 101.
My agent Kristin was reviewing my finished synopsis of Book 5 and she loves it, just a tweak here and there and I'm done and can move on full-steam on the Book 6 synopsis. Book 5 is now named Con & Conjure thanks to Jo Stapley, the winner of my Name That Book contest. Thank you, Jo for the great title! The deadline for the contest I'm having over at Raine's Rangers is this Friday, so pop over and join (see the button to the right) if you want to enter.
Ideas for Book 6 are coming to me fast & furious now. I guess I just needed a little "literary love" by my agent (aka enthusiastic approval of Book 5 with only a few questions) to kick my muse back to work. After I've finished writing the synopsis for Book 6, I'll do a short/teaser synopsis for Book 7. Then we'll be ready to submit them to my publisher to get another book contract. Being without a book contract makes me a little antsy, so the quicker I write those last two synops, the quicker I hopefully get to sign my name on the dotted line. A contracted author is a happy author. : )
It'll be 101 degrees here in central North Carolina today with a heat index (aka what it actually feels like) of 107 degrees. Thankfully, I'll be working in a nice air conditioned office.
Have a good one!

I'm happy Kristin likes the synop! It makes me curious what it has in it, because... well, I already want the book. But Bewitched & Betrayed will tide me over : )
I hope you aren't too hot... I actually wouldn't mind that temperature - it's been unseasonably cold (which is still hot for people in other places) by me.
Why are you doing a teaser for book 7? Is it to get a three book contract, or just to entice? I suppose you can't write a full synop for book 7, because you'll probably change bits of both books 5 and 6? Who knows what might suddenly pop in, like Talon did.
I hope Ace gives you another contract soon! And good luck with Book 6 synop : )
You're right -- it'll be a teaser synop because a full synop would be next to impossible to do seeing that I haven't written Books 5 & 6 yet. But at the same time, I know what Book 7 will be about. Hence, the short teaser synop.
Hooray for air-conditioning! I second Kim's curiosity, though in my case I'm re-reading `The Trouble With Demons'.
Book 7??? Whoohoo! Raine lives!
I think we all want you to get that contract - we need more Raine!
What an awesome title! I missed the announcement on Saturday, so I know I'm a little late to the party. But that is a wicked awesome title.
Word Verification: Rogarg. Doesn't that sound like a perfect name for a character in a fantasy book?
Thank you, ladies!
I'm glad things are progessing nicely. I hope no snags slow up getting a new contract. {SMILE}
