What to do while waiting…
The contract on our contemporary romantic western has been signed, sealed and delivered. We have received a letter from the editor explaining it takes 14-18 weeks for first edits to be completed. We then accept or reject edits and mail them back…another 14-18 weeks ensues as we repeat the edit process.

In the meantime we are almost finished with second book edits and completing our third novel. I have to admit, I was doubtful about what I chose to write shortly into the venture. It seemed above my head and I wasn’t sure if it would take off, in the addictive way our writing usually ignites…but here we are, thousands of words in and I love our heroine and all the supporting characters. I love that I don’t even know what is going to happen next, and that is what fuels me to keep tapping away. I want to know the end!
