Yes, my new book from Samhain releases at the end of this week.
It almost seems like forever since I had a book come out. Probably because it has been. :razz:
But it’ll be a special treat to see this one become available—mostly because, by all rights, it probably should’ve never seen publication.
Why?
1) The first line of the book is, “It was a dark and stormy night.”
Why? Because I love that line, and wanted to use it. And because it fit the tone of the story, and subtly prepares the reader for what’s to come.
2) The book had been rejected not one, not two, but three times by major publishers. And each editor had given me a different reason.
3) This was my “I don’t give a damn” story. I didn’t worry about GMAC, internal dialogue, plot arc, BM, etc., etc. I set up the playhouse, and my characters and I had fun together. Period.
4) The hero isn’t alpha, the heroine doesn’t know what she wants out of life, and the single setting is extremely isolated.
5) I’d actually offered it as a freebie on this website, and completely dismissed the idea of selling it. Ya just never know.
