Saving Grace!

I AM DONE!  Yes, I finished Saving Grace, the second book to Fall From Grace, this morning.  I have been staring at it on my computer screen since 7 am.  I'm waiting for my editor to see her schedule and if she'll be able to correct most likely every single f$#king sentence I wrote.
I'm a nervous wreck though, because I truly think it stinks, but I thought Fall From Grace stunk too.  I just fell in love with what I WANTED the story to be.  And let's face it, I fell in love with Shane.  I gotta say though that during Saving Grace I started crushing on Alex.
So now onto Shane's point of view!  I have a little over 30,000 words so far, but I'm wondering if I can actually get into the mind of a guy like I need.  Hmmm.
It's way too early to start drinking right?
My two year old says yes.  Darn.

    OMG just went from elation to despair! I thought I could go straight to book 2...but there's an editor between me and Saving Grace! BTW In case you missed it, rating Falling Grace 5 Stars. Enjoy your drink & call on a babysitter(OK, best organise the sitter first), it's a socially acceptable hour somewhere in the world :) Cheers Suzanne

    Congratulations and good work! Now I don't have to hunt you down and demand that you get back to work! Only kidding! I truly enjoyed your story and am very excited about your next work. Please let me share that I have been rediculously addicted to romance books for the past 2 years since my husband got me my kindle for Christmas. I read about 2 or 3 books a week depending on how busy my week is; pathetic but true. This is the first time that I have felt compelled to contact an author and say thank you. Please keep up the good work. Hope to add lots more of your work to my collection.

    You don't sound pathetic to me, that's exactly my life too! And thank you so much for contacting me. I'm glad you liked the book. Hopefully I can get an editor quickly and publish Saving Grace, that's all that I'm waiting on right now!

      Ha Ha. I'm just as addicted as you all. Christine, only a handful of books have affected me the way your's has (and I've read A LOT of books). You have a talent for creating a world I want to dive right into and to linger there after I close the book. Can't wait for #2. Can I pre-order it? And are you working on #3? Please say yes!

      Aww, thank you! That's so awesome of you to say. Saving Grace (book 2) will be out as soon as I get it from my editor and revise. Hopefully within the next three weeks. I'm working on a book 3, but it's purely Shane's point of view of the whole story.

    Can't wait to get "re-acquainted" with Shane! Finished reading Fall From Grace within a day - that is if you didn't count the hours I was at work of course! :) Also, just wondering, will there be a sequel to Fall From Grace, as I don't see Saving Grace as a sequel, but more Shane's POV. Would love to see if Selah & Shamsiel would meet again...in another setting...somehow? Please say yes...pretty please?

      Saving Grace is definitely a sequel to Fall From Grace. I'm working on Shane's POV right now and that should be book 3. I'm glad you liked the story! I hope everyone likes Saving Grace!

    Oh yeay!!! Ok, now I'm feeling a little bit better...knowing that I have something to look forward to! :) Hoping your editor hurries up and say yes go ahead & publish! Can't wait.

All Nighter

I didn't mean to stay up all night.  But, I was filled with excited nervous energy. 1) Fall From Grace is ranked #379 in all of Amazon Kindle store.  Um, yeah.  Speech-effing-less. 2) I had to keep on writing Book 2 - I'm furiously going in circles with a problem that I can't seem to work through.  I'm afraid I may kill somebody. 3) My husband was playing X-box like a rock concert in my living room. 4) And I needed to get to the end of Gabriel's Inferno.  Good book, by the way if you are looking for a Fifty Shades minus the BDSM, plus classic literature and hot kissing.  But me, I needed to have these characters have SEX!  At the end of the book I'm thinking to myself that Gabriel just needs to restrain her wrists with his freaking little bow ties and just...well, ahem...you know. So I've stayed up all night.  I'm going to need an IV of caffeine today.  And right now my two year old is perched on the arm of my couch with the hint of the ...
