I just heard from my editor that my fourth book, The Italian's Bought Bride, has been officially accepted. This book was hard to write mainly because I wrote it twice--actually, I seem to be developing a habit of doing that! I managed to write the entire thing except for the big moment at the end--around 47,000 words--and then realised it really didn't work! Actually, I think I'd had that realisation earlier but had suppressed it because my word count was still progressing nicely. That was a mistake. So less than a week before deadline I tore it apart, taking out the *major* plot element and fortunately found it all went a great deal more smoothly! And now it's done. Big sighs of relief and happiness.I'm just starting to work on my next book, writing a chapter a chapter by outline and character biographies, which is generally how I start. Then last night I actually had a dream that was a scene of my book--actually, it was me writing/picturing that scene and it flowed so fabulously... as soon as I woke up, I went downstairs to scribble what I remembered, but it didn't seem quite as fabulous then. So I'm wondering if that's just because I didn't remember it correctly, or as can happen in dreams, it wasn't that fabulous to begin with...

Just the title sounds interesting! Congrats on your 4th novel! I'm going to have to go out and buy one of your books. Your name sounds familiar, but I know I haven't read anything by you. But I plan on doing so very soon! Again, Congrats!
