So it's been four months since I updated my blog. Not because nothing's happened, but because so much was happening my muse needed a rest.
While my muse was on vacation, my creative critic put on the gloves and gave my novel, THE NEXUS, logosuction and a pace lift. I'm happy to say that I was able to cut more than 22,000 words without losing any of the texture or changing the voice. Every character survived, though they move through their paces with more immediacy and determination.
I shipped NEXUS to my agent on Monday, it arrived at her office this morning. Now I'll wait to see what she thinks.
In the meantime, I'm going to pick up the threads of WHISPERING NIGHTS and go back to the Yorkshire moors where I left Clarissa and the eccentric family of slave-smuggling aristocrats to which she is governess.
