So here's a few mini-blogs...
Typos, typos, typos everywhere!
Once I got STEAL YOU AWAY released, I took a little break from my laptop. I'd just relocated the day before release and was still unpacking. By the time I got around to looking at the finished product on my Nook, it was January.
From the tiny excerpt at the opening to the back cover copy, I located several easy errors. So easy that if I were reading the sample or the back, I'd probably pass on reading the novel myself. Silly, little mistakes like misspelling a main character's name!
Needless to say, I went over it with a fine-toothed comb and redid all the e-copies and the print version. Because of the last-minute changes, I've had to delay FATAL TARGET again.
Here's two documented fails:
Full-Time
About two weeks ago, I announced, via Twitter, I'd taken a full-time job. Despite full-time work, I still planned to write and release books.
However, I turned down that particular job. I'm still interviewing for other positions. While working 40 hours a week will slow down my process, I will not stop writing. Releases might not be as frequent, but I will continue the J. Carter & Associates Series and do standalones and shorts.
So, rest easy. I'm still typing away like a mad person.
New Directions
FATAL TARGET has been hard to write, I'll admit it. The original drafts introduced Aidan...who ended up intro'd back in SOLE SURVIVOR, which changed the entire novel.
Now, FATAL TARGET focuses on what happens when the new couple are forced apart by a murder investigation that puts them both in trouble. I still struggled with what would force Kat to leave him behind - and then stumbled upon the solution - an attack on Aidan.
The good news is the first two parts (there will be either four or five parts in total) are edited and locked down, i.e., unless there are major changes in the back half that affect them.
I'm leaning toward a May or June release. I'll keep everyone posted!
