I’m going to have some more minor edits to do after this pass on HoS is done, but I think this is the last major revision pass I’m going to have to do. The middle of the book got rewritten a lot in the last pass and it’s solidified up nicely. I’ve got a bunch of work to do to the last four or five chapters still, but if the ones between–20 through 24 or so–aren’t too bad, the end is in sight and I’m feeling quite smug about all…
whiny self indulgence stricken

Otherwise, I will just post about how we just went to see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and oh my *god*. I thought it was very nearly perfect. There were lines that came straight from the books, lines that I anticipated–and I haven’t *read* the books in fifteen years–and hearing them just about made me…

They pretty much don’t give a rat’s…

hey!
I just got my first royalty statement! This is for the month of June, as Harlequin’s royalty periods end June 30 and December 31. So the book had been out for a month when the royalty period ended. I did not earn out (which is what it’s called when you’ve earned your advance back), but that doesn’t surprise anyone. I *did* sell about 7000 books in June. So for all of you who’ve been asking how the book is doing, there, that’s our first indicator. As Deirdre says, “More than…
