I'm actually one of those sick, sick puppies who likes revisions and editing more than the initial round of writing. Sometimes, my first draft nearly creates itself in a frenzy of creativity (the first three-quarters of MORO took me just two months). But usually, there's a long slog of stop-and-start (the last quarter of MORO took three months for around 20K.)

With revisions (esp. editorial interaction) there's a lot of nitpicky refining that suits my OCD self.

Hildegarde, I really did it just for fun. I'd taken an editorial test from a big erotic romance e-pub (not the one I signed with), and realized that I wanted to write erotic romance as well as sf&f. The ER gave me the option of not 'fading to black', as I would with my mainstream sf&f work.

I'll get my contract later this week, but I can now announce I've sold a m/m space opera erotic romance with the working title of MORO'S PRICE, to Loose Id. (A year and one month after I started writing it, just for fun.)

Next week, editing begins!

Congratulations!!! :D

Pretty much announced this last month - but since I am now "official" with counter-signed contract and cover-art and such - MOI!

My debut release, Infamous, will be available June 4 from Crimson Romance.

Thanks for all the support getting here, everyone!

Congrats to everyone! :Hug2:

We've been having a rocking year on subsidiary rights! We've now sold French, Russian, Turkish, Hungarian and audio rights on the Blood Singer books! :snoopy: Most, if not all, are scheduled for release of the first book, Blood Song, this year.

Nothing quite like free money to pad the bank account. I love books that keep selling while I'm working on other stuff. :D
