New info on SCORCHED
My editor just sent me the cover for SCORCHED -- hate the title, like the cover a lot. It's all orangeish/reddish/black and shows Selena with a gun and a smaller picture of her and Tony running for their lives. Seems like that's all they ever do, isn't it? Hey, someone's life has to be more exciting than mine.I got the cover copy, too, and have to look over it for accuracy before sending it back. Once I do that, I'll post both cover and copy here or have Diva Mary put it on the homepage. I'll put up an excerpt, too.
I haven't asked whether the release date's been changed, but will put it here when I find out. I'm just up to my plucked eyebrows in revisions -- 8 days, including today, to finish them! And then I'll be thinking about the next book. What other kinds of danger can I put Selena and Tony in? I'm thinking Rodrigo, Selena's evil stepfather, needs to put in an appearance, and ever since one reader suggested that Selena should get pregnant, I've been considering it. Wouldn't that be fun to watch?
It's cold here this morning -- though anything below 70 is cold to me. I've finished my morning walk, eaten my granola-bar breakfast, and am about ready to work. Wish I could have taken that walk on a warm, sunny beach somewhere, but no chance of that. After the last sucky months of my life, who has time to vacation???
