It’s still a historical romance
It’s secret, but since you’re reading a blog post, I think you deserve to be in on it.
So, here’s the story.
In April, I finished Brothers’ Tangle, Rebel Hearts Regency Romance, Book 3. (Available on Amazon)
You’d think the obvious next project would be the 4th book in that series. But apparently, I can’t pull off predictable. So, I started working on a novel I began more than two years ago. It’s an entirely new regency romance series. The Heavenly Honeywells.
And I am so excited about these three sisters, one of whom must marry well. (Read that as he must have money).
Anyway, I began at the first of May with Sebastian and Angelica, and I was loving these characters and their story. All was well.
But then I looked at the calendar, and the scheduled writing conference I am attending the first week in August. Out of the blue, I had a thought. “What if I took a completed manuscript to that conference and pitched it to some agents and editors?”
At best, that would be an exciting new opportunity. At worst a good learning experience. Suddenly, I knew had to try.
But when I looked at Angelica, I decided the entire series needs to be finished before I should attempt to pitch it (if it’s even right for traditional publishing). So, I decided to start something totally new. (Yes. I realize that now makes three historical romance series and one historical fantasy romance that I am working on).
Writers are crazy.
I went to bet one night, the last week of May, wondering what I should write and woke the next morning with an idea.
The only hitch was that I only had two months to write an entire novel. I have never written a novel in so short a time. But, I began.
Can I do it?
All I can say now is that I am working like crazy. And in 5 weeks, I have written 3/4 of Christiana and William’s story. Both these characters start in pretty difficult circumstances, but together I think they’ll transcend all the challenges and find true love.
Cross your fingers that I can finish and polish this manuscript in the next three weeks. And send good vibes my way. I’ll keep you updated.
And thanks for reading and for encouraging me. You are the best!
