Teri McGill's Blog: SHARING MY HEART

LIGHT-YEARS FROM HOLLYWOOD, a YA romance novella, explores the darker side of high school.
What is life like when you don’t seem to fit in anywhere? A deaf boy and a homeless girl forge an unusual friendship, learning that acceptance and ultimately love truly conquers all.
Dylan: High school is supposed to be an adventurous four years of exploring the joys of youth and unlimited learning opportunities, right? What a crock! The gifted program is challenging enough without being the only deaf student on campus. I was content with my under-the-radar, nearly invisible existence until a beautiful, blue-eyed freshman sat next to me in Algebra. I had always preferred my loner status until she forced me to see what else life had to offer.
Nikki: I have kept my embarrassing secret for as long as I can remember. Dylan was the only person I ever shared it with, and to my surprise he never judged me. Instead, he was determined to save me even though unforeseen threats lurked around every corner.

Greetings to readers and friends!
I apologize for the delay of Book 3, LOST & FOUND, in My Heart Is Yours series. There were issues with editing (some revisions were necessary) and formatting glitches as well, which caused a month-long delay. I want to release the best novel possible and that resulted in the extra time. I sincerely apologize to my Goodreads Giveaway winners! You will get your books and SWAG asap.
Sincerely, Teri

P.S. It will NEVER cease to amaze me how many errors can manage to sneak under the radar of editors, beta readers, Microsoft Word, and the worst critic of them all ... ME! The author is ultimately responsible for every single word ... even the misspelled ones. LOL!

Thanks for your interest and support.
Lost and Found

Book #1, SIGNS OF A QUIET HEART, was released Feb 9th. Book #2, LIVING FOR TWO, was released April 17th. Book #3, LOST AND FOUND, is still a work in progress (80,000+ words at the moment) and I hope to release it before the end of this year.
Because I am self-published, I also must self-promote, which is more difficult than it sounds. Hours of constant posting on Facebook (and I was ... and still am ... the original FB-hater!) are necessary to get the word out. I read that 4,500 new books are released every single day and I often think 4,499 of them are in the romance category. LOL! Book groups, blogs, takeovers, release parties, FB events, conventions, pimping my books ... it never seems enough. The work promoting Books 1 & 2 is endless and leaves little time for writing, which is why I have been ignoring my Book 3.
I have decided THAT ENDS TODAY! I am officially writing again and I am determined to get LOST AND FOUND completed by (deep breath) the end of September! You are my witnesses ... my faithful friends, fans, and followers. You have my permission to verbally kick my lazy ass anytime you so desire if I don't make daily progress. Thanks! Teri
