So...I wrote a book. - Page 2 - A Meeting of Minds

Well, yeah, now that one exists...I think the reason 85%+ of the 'indie' books are crap are people seem to be cranking them out in weeks! I haven't even gotten much of this to my betas, except a few chapters to Laurie! (On the plus side, I'm making more progress than I am on the baby quilt I'm making for my best friend, who's due in June. My goal is be done before the kid's in high school...)

Anareth, you take as long as you need to. One mystery writer whose books I read cranks out only one book every two years! You'll get it done and we'll get to read it! And we'll enjoy it all the more when it does come out! (But not toooo long, okay?

)

Any news about the next installment, Jennifer?

Anareth · Sep 6 2012, 08:12 PM

Maybe by the end of the year. I'm working on one that might be easier to sell to a real publisher. (And of course there's the fan fic that's just kind of sitting half-finished that I really, really ought to finish...should NOT have started a sequel before really having it written in my head.)

Lord I am sorry...but I just found all of this thread...WOW, your a published author that's amazing Anareth...and WONDERFUL!!!

I just found one of your many different ways, that I could get a preview of your book...and I started it.

So far it reads great...fast and VERY interesting, just in the first few pages.

I'll let you know when I finish it....but until then keep up the great work.

Nice to hear that Shalyn has been giving you such a hard working, helping hand.

Don't worry, I return the favor--she has a nice little story that's turning into a book that SHE needs nagging about, too! Wait'll you read that....
