Editing Nightmare

Yesterday morning, I got the final line edits from my editor. I had 24 hours to go over the entire manuscript. That's: 164 pages or 6037 lines or 69873 words. And come up with a 1200 word excerpt.

Did I do it? Of course. But I was brain dead by the end of the day. Thank goodness Prime Time isn't a long book!

But it's done and all ready to go. Now I just wait for the release date - March 22. I am so excited. I will have two books out. Two very different books. It's rather strange. But cool. :)

Akashan'te is a fantasy - a quest not only to find the place of power and thwart evil, but also to discover the true person within. Relationship-wise, it would fall under the "sweet" category and is appropriate for any age.

Prime Time is a science fiction romance that takes place on the moon. While it is definitely not erotica, there is at least one graphic bedroom scene which puts it in a "hotter" category - adult reading.

Yes, I know, kids read anything these days. But we are required to note those scenes that may not be appropriate for younger readers and Prime Time contains one of those scenes. So take this as my official announcement. Prime Time is rated adult with some sexual content.

Okay, official announcements over and back to excitement. My second book comes out in 16 days!!!! :) Wheeeeee.
