Got the first draft of my option proposal done this weekend, and sent off to my CPs. Yay!
Book3 is codenamed Flowers in the Abbey (you know you read V.C. Andrews’ Flowers in the Attic! Admit it!) but hopefully the title gods will smile upon me before I turn it in, so that I don’t have to call it Unnamed Historical #3.
(My current contract lists my books as Unnamed Historical #1 and Unnamed Historical #2. Yes, I am that bad at titles.)
I owe the current release’s title–TOO WICKED TO KISS–to John, who got the idea after rereading a certain passage in the book. (Which may even be the teaser passage when you open the front cover.) Book 2 may or may not be called TOO SINFUL TO DENY… updates on that as soon as I know more.
Other than that, weekend highlights include reading a few books and taking tango lessons on a boat party on the river Seine in Paris. Now the party’s over and it’s back to work… boo.
How about you? Fun times this weekend? What are your plans for the week?

I’m working on my option book proposal at last! I’ve dreamed up, brainstormed, and plotted several storylines, and discarded them all, starting over from scratch each time because I could tell they weren’t The One.
(Litmus test: if I cannot eat, sleep, or walk away from the computer because the drive to write has me in its thrall, then it’s the one.)
I was gripped in just such a manner this week, and already wrote the first 2200 words! Yay! I love making progress!

Well, technically, the book cover went to my home in Florida (I am slightly out-of-town at the moment, as I happen to be in France) but I got an email pic of the cover (which I lurve!) and the real thing should be arriving shortly!!!

Today’s plans: Find the one full FedEx in Paris (???) to mail my publisher as requested, buy the awesomest French grammar book I can find at Gibert Joseph, program new functionality for 2 client websites, have 1 client conference call–and depen…ding on the time of that conference call, maybe even make it out of the house to a social hour I was invited to. Here we go… {deep breath}
