…is done and turned in! Yay!!! Wraith is now on my editor's desk, and I am free to work full time on the fourth Croft book!
And why is it that my method for writing each book is different from every other one?
It's so weird!!! I never write a book the same way. Each time I write one, I feel like a beginner all over again. Not because of the story, but because of the method. I just can't get one particular method down.
Anyone else like that? Am I a freak, or normal? Steph, you aren't allowed to answer that…

Congrats on finishing another book! Pleasure Unbound is on it’s way to me right now from BN.com. I’m looking forward to this one very much. Looks like something new and something different.
As for writing, I have finally come up with a method–I think. I write three chapters, edit them, send them to the CP, write on til the CP gets back to me, fix them when I receive them, then send them to beta-readers, write some more while awaiting their verdict, then fix anything that needs fixing from their POV. I have been doing this every three chapters and so far it’s working well. It also helps to get both the good and bad feedback earlier on so I know if I have to change things up a bit or keep going as I am.

Hooray for finishing!
On the rest, I have no clue
but we like you all the same…

Hi Marissa! That sounds like a great method! Those first three chapters are SO important, and if you don’t get that foundation right, it can screw up the whole book!
??:
LOL, Azteclady!
Thanks, Casee!!!
Christine, I just love Wraith. I truly, truly enjoyed writing his book. I don’t usually get SO attached to my characters, but I actually teared up a couple of times while writing it!
