New Nightingale

The second book (Not An Ordinary Death) is with the editor, so I drug out an older manuscript to work on as I wait.

This older manuscript also has Nightingale as the protagonist, but he’s not the same law man that I have written about in the other two books. What I’m trying to say is:  Nightingale has grown and become a much better hero–not a goody-two-shoes, but a man with a conscience and a soul. Thus is exciting to me because I can see him as a “baby” personality in the first work.

The first mss is going to need tons of work. But Nightingale is nagging me, so cross your fingers that all goes well.

Edits

I’m working on edits of the next Nightingale novel. I hesitate to mention this because there will be many, many, more go rounds of this process because I want it to be done well, to be professional, and enjoyable for a reader.  I strive to have no errors in the final book.

In a workshop this past week one of the attendees said she was really disappointed in the errors in the books she had bought on line. That’s what I want to avoid. That’s why I pay an editor and proofreader and cover designer. Why would anyone ever buy another book with my name on it if the first one he/she bought is full of errors?

So, that’s my story. . . it’s in progress, but Nightingale and Garrick are restless to get busy. Stay tuned.
