lauraanne_gilmanAnd lo, the revised manuscript for Retrievers 5, now called FREE FALL, has been delivered to Madame Editor. I have seen a preliminary sketch for the cover, I have seen (and rewritten) the copy for same.
I am, to all intents and purposes, done with this book.
Oh, there will be a copyedit and page proofs to look over, but the heavy lifting is complete.
The five-book story arc I started with STAYING DEAD (not realizing that I was starting any such thing) is done.
*pauses to contemplate that*
Wow.
The outline for Book 6, which will be a stand-alone Wren & Sergei adventure, has been approved. I'm eager to get my teeth into it -- its going to be fun to write. Mad chases and serious skulduggery, and grand theft magical...
But first I'm going to take some time off. Maybe write some hard SF, or splattery horror, or out-and-out romance. Or not write at all. *contemplates that*
EtA: of course, I also got offered another freelance gig today, and there's something brewing on both the short- and long-term horizon. So the vacation will be of modified nature...
