It’s starting to become a whole lot more real. My novel, As Waters Gone By, launches in a few months! I can’t tell you how surreal it is. Well, I can try. It’s SURREAL! Years of hard work, and still more editing to come. Kat O’Shea, my editor, is brilliant and pushes me to the limit every two weeks with more revisions and ideas. I’m eternally thankful for her place in my life. Once in a blue moon someone comes along who believes in your work, who believes you can do what you didn’t think you could, or only dreamed of doing – and has the skill to get you there. When this happens. Pay Attention. Because it will probably only be this once. Thanks, Kat.
Here’s a quote from early on in Ellie’s story:
“I clear my throat and force myself out of my bed, raking my hands through my hair, I walk to the window seat. It’s clear outside. The stars are shining bright against the darkness above me. I sit there, staring up at the sky, trying to convince myself to give it a few more days. Not even that. I only have to make it through the night. Just keep breathing I tell myself. All you have to do is breathe.” (As Waters Gone By)
Have a great Wednesday.
