Deep in the Revision Cave

Things have been a tad frantic here over the last few weeks, and show no sign of letting up anytime soon - and I'm not complaining!!! It's all good and I hope to be able to share soon :-)

The revisions for my next book landed over the weekend and all I can say is my editor is a goddess. She pointed out things that had completely escaped me but which are vital to understanding the world. All I can put forward in my defense is that I've lived in this world, to a greater and lesser degree, for almost five years and what seemed clear to me in my head absolutely wasn't once it hit the screen. The revs are pretty intense and will keep me well and truly glued to the computer for the next month but I know they're going to make the book so much stronger. I'll be able to share more details about this book very soon, so stay tuned!!!

Can't wait for the dust to settle and you to share whatever the other news might be! :-)

Rach, good luck with your revs too. I know the feeling, I've only just started mine and can't wait until they're done!

Thanks, Kylie, with typical timing I came down with a sore throat last night so the words aren't exactly flying, unfortunately!

I'm looking forward to the dust settling too :-)
