Working On First Edit!

I'm excited to say that I'm working on my first edit of Elspeth Was Her Name, which means, I have the bones of this novel finished! I'm just fleshing it out and checking everything now. I'm pumped because this is Book Three in The Huntington Saga Series Novels that fans have been asking about for awhile.

I'll be looking for beta-readers soon, so if you've signed up, you may hear from me. It's always thrilling to finish another novel, and I'm excited to share it with you. Watch for more information coming soon! 

You can sign up for book release information here, and I'll let you know when Elspeth is released! Woohoo!

While you are waiting...

Just an update to let you all know that I'm still waiting for all the beta-readers to turn in their reviews. I can't publish until I know that I've fixed all the issues. For those of you who have already read the Pre-Launch Special, you're lucky because there have already been changes to the beginning five chapters, so you'll get to read both versions of the story. :)

I really needed to publish in June, but I'm not sure that it'll happen. That is the way of things sometimes. I'll still try for the Kindle version this month, but if not, Pirate Bride will be published just as soon as possible in all formats. I truly appreciate all my readers! And all my beta-readers have gone above and beyond! Thank you so very much!

I'm actually going to put out a large print version in a dust jacket form, but that'll come after all the rest. For now, I'm right there with you...waiting. I hate waiting... :D But the end result, I hope, will be worth it. Thanks for your patience! 

And while you are all waiting, you might enjoy one of my favorite reads by Victoria Holt--The Captive. Here's the link!

Happy Reading!

Pirate Bride beta-reader reviews are starting to come in!

And so far, the reviews are positive!  Yay!

I'm so excited to share Pirate Bride with you all and look forward to hearing your reviews.  ;)

What happens?  Find out soon!

Just sent off Pirate Bride to Beta-Readers!

It's officially sent! I just did it! Pirate Bride is now in the hands of beta-readers everywhere! I'm excited to see what they think of it and if it measures up. 

Hopefully still, I can get this book published this month. That is the goal, but I've asked a lot of my readers, I know. So I'll give them the time they need. 

Now...for the first chapter of Elspeth Was Her Name... It's being created as we speak. I will debut that novel at the end of Pirate Bride. :) 

Happy Reading!

It's June!

I can't believe its already June! Holy Cow! Where has the time flown? 

Kids are out of school, all except my homeschooler, which we are behind since Devin's heart attack, etc., etc. So, the both of us are still in school. Ugh. I feel his pain--deeply! 

However, the good news is that there are only 18 more days until Pirate Bride is scheduled to be released. (Tentative release date is scheduled for June 20th!) Not sure if that will come true, for I'm still working on it and have yet to send it off to beta-readers and get their comments back. The cover is finished, but there are always formatting issues at the last minute. I'm getting pretty excited about showing it off. :D

So...here's to Summer 2014!

Enjoy!

Calling all Beta-Readers!

Yes!  It's near that time!  I'm so excited to share Pirate Bride soon!  

But before I can, I need some Beta-Readers out there to sign up!  You will be the first readers to read Pirate Bride.  I need feedback on (let me think...) -- everything!  

Grammar, spelling, punctuation, but more importantly:  does the story work?  Where did you get lost?  Was it confusing?  Did you like it or not?
