Where the heck's Estonia?
That was my first thought when I heard from the subrights agent at my agency about an offer on The Assassin. I actually thought Estonia had disappeared from being years ago, but I was oh, so wrong. (Though Robert did have to find a map to show me its location. South of Finland.) Hopefully, I'll get a copy of the book in . . . Estonian? I know they speak Russian there -- and something else, I think -- but have no idea what language the book will be in. Hey, it's a sale -- a foreign sale -- to a place I've never sold to before. That's enough to satisfy me!Have been working on a synopsis for the next Selena book. I wrote the first one -- agents said great subplot! Where's the main plot? So I wrote another -- agents said great plot . . . but where does it fizzle out to? So I'm reworking that to keep the suspense in the forefront. Already have an idea what #4's going to be about, too. Hmm . . . book 3, like books 1 and 2, will take place in areas I'm already familiar with. Wonder if I could possibly get some travel out of #4? Surely Selena needs to return to Puerto Rico or to Key West for something.
