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!

Formatting for CreateSpace

I've been busily formatting The Governess for CreateSpace.  Probably a little ahead of myself since I still have a few glitches to fix, but it's been fun to see what it looks like in book format.  Dang! It's going to be big!  I really didn't mean to do that, I just couldn't shut up.  But I'm hoping it'll be great.  :)  Can't help but be a little excited.  Never done this before.  :D

Hope you all have a lovely week!

Hugs,
Ellise

Contest Winner!

I would like to announce the Winner of The Governess Contest! 

Nicki D.! 

Nicki had a splendid, simple, and complete way of bringing Creighton to Miss Amelia Hansen’s home, which he could not refuse.  Or so he thought.

Nicki will get to pick from two offered prizes:
  1)  To rename Miss Amelia Hansen’s character, or;
  2)  To receive a signed copy of The Governess when it is published in May/June 2013.

Read these chapters soon to find out what Nicki suggested and how I incorporated her ideas.

Thanks, Nicki D, for your contribution and for reading The Governess!  I'd also like to thank all those who participated in the contest!  Your support means everything to me! :)

Have a great day everyone!
