Good-ish News
Good-ish news for my loyal readers of "Angel Hands," "Documentary Evidence" and "Spellbinding."
The good news is that I fully intend to finish ALL of these stories, and in the not too distant future, either. Each review and message goes right to my heart, and I yearn to type away and finish these stories. Amy, Bruce, Zoe, Erik and Mireille are all in line with y'all tapping their toes (and in Erik's case muttering threats about explosives and grasshoppers), waiting for me to get a move on and finish their stories.
What prevents me? The fact that I am putting myself under the gun to finish my first mainstream novel and get it out the door before Christmas. I am on the second round of editing and am still pushing my word count and page count – at this rate, it'll be 100,000 words by the time I'm done! But it's a page-turner guaranteed…if you like my twists and turns, tough-as-nails heroines and inscrutable, conflicted heroes, then you'll love this work of suspense…based on an actual historical murder mystery…that comes back to haunt an unfortunate librarian.
So…I am begging your indulgence one more time. I need to finish this…my dad put a terrible guilt-trip on me, LOL! He said last year at this time, "Caity, I'm not going to live forever (he's 79, 3 heart-attacks, 40 years of diabetes, strokes, cancer…you get the idea), but before I go, I want to hold your book in my hands."
Sheesh! Talk about motivation! So…it has taken me all year to do this, but I am about to finish it and send it to my literary agent to see if anything can be done with it.
So shall we compromise? You promise to still love me and be here, and I promise new chapters for all three stories for Christmas/New Year's. Deal?
Love you, thank you, owe you!
Yours in mischief,
Kate September
