Pitch
Miss Susannah Blakemore is kidnapped and sold into white slavery as payback to the Huntingtons. Will her pirate hero save her?
“The Huntingtons will pay. Oh, they will pay.” Plots and unholy alliances are put into action carrying out long-awaited retribution.
Only … one was not thought of. One was not even considered. How would anyone have guessed that a descendant of a pirate would take up his old family tradition in a mad quest to regain his bitterly lost love? The Marquess of Latham will not abide by this act of violence arranged for his precious love, but will surely save her -- will he not? And will he make her the next pirate bride?
Next? There must be a first to have a 'next'. But there was another ... centuries ago ... that still walks the halls of Stonecrest Castle.

Story Mapping
Now...for the other side of each poster board. Do you see why I need to chop my manuscript?! Sheesh!
One good thing about Story Mapping that I've learned about my writing: I'm all over the place on POV. Not good. This will help me to formulate my chapters better, POV better, and make The Governess (or The Vicar's Daughter) more concise. Difficult for me (that is, to be concise).
Thank you goes to author Sarah M. Eden for showing her form of story mapping on her blog. She is, by the way, an AMAZING author!
Have a great weekend everyone! And a shout out to Gretchen! Have a safe trip, honey!
Hugs to everyone,
Ellise

Changed my Blog Title
I think it is more fitting because one assumes Christian romance will be clean, but not necessarily romance to be clean.
Any comments?
Thanks for letting me bug you so much this week! I'm just trying to do my best.

My "Rank" on Authonomy.com
Did you know that I am #18 from the Editor's Desk on authonomy.com? And the last two days, I was #4 on this week's Top Reads? Woohoo! I'm sooo excited.
What this means to me -- If I can make it to the Top Five on Authonomy.com, I will automatically get a FREE editor's review from HarperCollins Publishers. Now, this does not necessarily mean that they will publish me (although, I hope they do!). However, it does mean I'll get noticed. Also, since my budget is very limited, the FREE part is important to me.
Please join me in my journey to the top of the list! Sign on to authonomy.com, and do the following:
- Register. By registering, you have a vote.
- Bookshelf. My ranking will rise by placing my book, The Governess, on your bookshelf.
- Star rate. This causes my "Star" status and my ranking to rise.
- Comment. The comments also get me noticed.
Thank you for your support!
