Hoagie Book 3—Rewards for my labor of love

11/12/2017

 
November is National Novel Writing month, and it's also my birthday month! Every November, I try to schedule a personal writing retreat away from all the hub-bub and daily distractions of my busy life. This year, I chose to return to one of my favorite B&Bs on Vashon Island, WA vashongardencottages.com/intro.html. The hostess Jacqueline, creates such a serene space, and I was able to delve into my imagination while gazing out at tangerine & crimson leaves, and watching the horses graze.

After much discipline and self-care (yoga, soaking, sleeping in), I had 3/4 of the third Hoagie & Katie book written, and it was time to kick up my feet and reward myself!

And have pie, of course!

Hoagie and Katie in Space—Edits done!

11/12/2017

The second book in H&K series is DONE with the final edits! Receiving the proof this week to check out printing quality, marginal errors, streaking, and any other possible printing & textual problems. Even if the proof looks great, it's so challenging to simply put the book down,call it a day, and release it for publication! I'm hoping I can take a breath, say good-bye to my characters in this orbital installment, and release my furry rodent friends out into the world for a Valentine's Day release date (Feb 14th). Stay tuned!

Certain aspects of the Hoagie & Katie didn't translate well over to audio. So, more edits!! The final revised version is complete, and I'm also trying out a gloss finish on the hardcover this time!
*For those local folks who would like an updated version, I'm offering a FREE soft bound copy; just pm me!!

I managed to get some writing done in the comfort of my own home, with views of my garden, golden milk in hand, and a warm cat at my feet. And now, for the grueling editing process of
Hoagie & Katie in Space!!
