Revisions and Release Week!

After a week away from the computer, I was more than ready to chain myself back to the keyboard and get back in to writing. Writing is more than a job for me, it’s my passion, and after spending all that time with my fellow writers, I was charged up and ready to work the moment my strappy sandaled feet hit Oregon soil!

So it worked out then, that I had a sooper sekrit project to get sent to Place and that I had revisions Monday morning for the Aussie!

Had a lovely chat with my editor Tuesday and I’m in the middle of this strange process where I’m changing a the hero’s motivation. It’s making that element SO much stronger but right at the moment it feels a bit like Frankenbook. (GIVE MY CREATION LIFE!!!)

Also, it’s release week for me! The Highest Price to Pay is now available in print and ebook on the Mills and Boon UK site, it’s shipping in print from Amazon UK and it’s available for Pre-order on Kindle. It will be in stores on July 15th in the UK. (Confused? I am.)

I am SO excited to have this book out. I feel very passionately about it, and it was great to sit and chat with our executive editor at Nationals, because she was so very passionate about it too, and about the GORGEOUS cover I was given for the book.

A few months back I did a post on the subject of redemption, and he was the hero on my mind at the time. He needs redemption, and yet he feels so beyond the point of even being able to ask for it. So he’s continued on down the wrong road because he simply feels it’s too late for him to turn back.

But Ella, my heroine, saw more in him than that. She was willing to take his hand and lead him back the right way.

That’s one thing I loved so much about working with these characters. They had a bit of a business rivalry going from page one (or more accurately, he seized control of Ella’s company, and she had a BIG problem with that!) but personally, they really moved each other forward and built each other up. It made it such a rewarding book to write. I loved that them being together gave the other strength, made them better.

And it has one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever written. It involves a beautiful setting, a yacht and a rose. But you’ll to read the book to get more details. 😉
