a-editing we go!

We are back to the lifestyle in which practically every entry is about writing. This makes me happy, even if it doesn’t make everyone else happy. :) Working on BANSHEE CRIES edits. I think they’re going well. I rewrote a nice little bit with Jo and Morrison so it makes me swoonier. :) I do like this job, I do. :) Didn’t gym this morning, but I did get up and do crunches and barre work (ok, back-of-the-couch work, since I don’t have a barre), so I feel like I’ve…

inadvertantly cool :)

Yesterday I was talking to Mom, who said she thought it’d be good if somebody snatched up the rights to do URBAN SHAMAN as a movie as soon as it hit the shelves, especially since if they did it soon, James Garner could play Gary. I said, “Wow, he’d be great!” because, well, he would be. And that I hadn’t thought of that. So I’m working on my BANSHEE CRIES edits.

Lots of good questions, lots of things I need to focus on and clarify (I don’t think the synopsis I wrote was very good, to tell the truth. It’ll give me a very general framework to work from, but all the questions it raised for Matrice and Natashya (head editor for the Bombshell line) were extremely good and relevant ones. Well, I’ll get better at synopsizing these, I’m sure. It’s a matter…

The first one will be out in late 2005, the second in spring 2006. So, the story of it all: what I didn’t say in my Friday posting was that when Matrice called, she mentioned that she’d read the Bombshell proposal, people had passed it around and were excited about it, and that she had a call in to Jenn about it.

For goodness sakes!

My website has been down ALL MORNING, and I can’t STAND not posting about this now that I’ve got permission! I have sold two books to Harlequin’s new action-adventure romance line, Bombshell! The first book will be out in late 2005 and the second in spring 2006. Wow! WOW! These will be under the pen name Cate Dermody, and the story concept is thus: Alisha McAleer, CIA agent, writes a private, quasi-legal personal journal of her missions before doing her official CIA report. She takes the journal to a bank…
