The relief is tremendous, getting that My Lord and Spymaster manuscript done and sent off.
What it's like ... you imagine yourself in a car with three or four teenagers and they have music (sic) on full-blast and then you drop them off at the pool and turn the music off.
Everything inside is silence.
So nice.
Except, of course, that now I have to do two-months accumlated housework.
Congrats and what a relief! Enjoy the peace and quiet. If I were you, I'd splurge on a housecleaner. *w*
And how does one get access to said ARCs? If they promise to write good reviews and blurbs and bend over backwards while juggling and weaving a basket with their toes? *w,g*
Apparently the publishing house sends them out to reviewers. In my case, they get sent out to folks who review Romance books.
I had been planning to spiffy up the blog when it got closer to the publication date. I was waiting till I got the manuscript of My Lord and Spymaster completed and had a moment of time on my hands.
I'm going back and tryin to trim out posts that don't seem to be, y'know, saying anything ....
Jo,

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny --
