Sold: The World’s Most Terrifying Manuscript
My editor (who showed amazing, lighting fast reflexes!) has gotten back to me on Beast Sheikh and she loved the revisions! I’m very pleased to say that’s Presents #8 accepted!
I can’t believe that’s eight already…I love my job. I really do. And very pleased to say I get to focus all of my attention on Hot Rod now!
I did a post yesterday on alpha males, and how the definition of an alpha male is much broader than people think. I believe Beast Sheikh is an example of that. When I was writing him, I really didn’t know for sure what my editor would think of him. Because he’s an extremely wounded alpha, who has been stronger at other times in his life.
But he’s also survived hideous trauma, both physically and emotionally, and while he did not emerge from it unscathed, he has the core of a leader. Of a man with strength and integrity. Even though the pain and grief has threatened to consume that, he’s still standing.
Will post on title and release as soon as it comes in! Can’t wait!

Yay, Maisey!! I’m a sucker for a wounded Alpha, myself….
Yay!!!! And eight is a lot. Enjoy your success.
Kristina, Thank you! Me too. I just love the idea that with each other, they can both be stronger. Also, I love the hero torture. 🙂
Julia, thank you so much! I just enjoy the whole process. 🙂
Congratulations, Maisey, glad you’re editor liked Beast Sheikh. Can’t wait to read it, although 2012 is an awfully loooong time to wait! *grin*
Wish there was an unsend button so I could correct that awful mistake in my comment! ;o)
Yay! Congrats Maisey on #8…can’t wait to read it. Caroline x
Alexandra, thanks! True story, I wrote a dedication page TO MY EDITOR and made that mistake. I wonder how hard she face palmed.
Caroline, thank you. My second sheikh. Very excited about it!
I so love your sheiks, the more tortured the better *evil laugh* so can’t wait to read it 😀
So pleased for you!
Thank you, Doris! He’s wicked tortured this man. Love him.
Those are some amazing, lightning fast reflexes! Congrats Maisey +)
Lacey, it’s true! I now believe she, like my editor before her, is some kind of Highlander or other mythical/immortal being.
