It’s a new year, and already I’m surrounded by deadlines. This week I’m wrapping up second-pass pages, while simultaneously trying to finish Red Horse (which will be Book Two). Meanwhile, thoughts of Book Three are prancing through my head. I have a main character. I have a first line. Not just any first line, but a first line I know is perfect.
And thanks to those second-pass pages, I have my delicious twist. One of the miracles of writing is how we can pen the smallest detail, what seems like a mere throwaway at the time, yet later we realize it’s a large hook from which we can dangle a critical plot point. I love those days when I surprise myself.
If you’d like to start the new year with a new book, head on over to Goodreads and enter my ARC giveaway.
And just so you know, 0 out of 2 pets in this household approve of White Horse.
I think they’re secretly plotting to use me as cannon fodder when the end of the world starts. But before that happens, I have a book (or two!) to finish.

Look how pretty those ARCs are! DROOL. And pretty cats, too.
Your pets have questionable taste in literature, but at least they keep good human company.
Thanks, Jen!
Jamie, they’re terrible creatures. But I love them so.
Also, oddly enough, wordpress notified me that I had three spam comments, but failed to notify me about for-reals comments.
