The Editing Life

The holidays have pulled me back significantly from blogging, but I haven’t fallen behind in all my duties. I have just reached the halfway point in editing for Serenade! It’ll be difficult not to rush the process from this point, but I’d rather take longer to finish than speed-edit and have to go over it again.

I’m not sure how I lost control of the blogging schedule this month, but plan to get back into the rhythm starting January. Perhaps we also need the occasional break from blogging. Ah well, it was Christmas–I hope you’ve had a good holiday and a good year! (It’s almost over…that is terrifying.)

What are your favorite memories of this year? Best books you’ve read? Do you have plans for 2016?

P.S. I’ll be looking for beta readers for Serenade next year. If you’re interested in helping (it’s not necessary that you read Dissonance first, though it sure helps!) comment and let me know. I can already tell it’s not much longer than book one, so you should be able to finish it in a couple of days!

    I had a great holiday season. Im interested in being a beta reader but not quite sure what it entails.

    We all need a break once in a while. But congrats on the halfway point. You’ve conquered the mountain peak. Keep it up!

Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet. This blog will be dedicated to all things books and reading, which happen to be my obsessions. Note the faint scent of coffee in the air; coffee is a must for me.

I will be sharing book reviews for reads that I enjoy. I’ll also be posting updates about my life as an indie author. Since I’m exploring the classics, expect the occasional poem or short piece as I experiment.

For centuries, land-bound descendants of Merpeople have been confined to hidden districts. Read The Sea Rose and sequel The Sea King if you wish to read their stories.

Miss Marjorie Brahms, daughter of a mysterious wizard known by the townsfolk as Bamoy, is having a bizarre autumn. Her father, Johann, had reasons for purchasing an abandoned house situated in the middle of a graveyard in which to raise his family. That did not mean that evil spirits could never find them.
