edit data

Engineer by day and writer by night, David broke into traditional publishing in 2020 writing historical romance for Entangled Publishing under the pseudonym Sawyer North. In a stroke of luck, a photo of him wearing a cowboy hat on a Regency romance writers’ social media page landed him the opportunity to write a three-volume progressive western series for Sourcebooks in 2022.

Fair Weather Enemies: Publication Date Set

Entangled Publishing has set a publication date of February 10 for my first traditionally published novel, Fair Weather Enemies. Given the horror stories I’ve heard from other writers, the edit process was not terrible. My editor gave me clear direction, and since I’m a people pleaser, I did exactly as she suggested without having to overhaul. Whew! The cover art is now in progress, and I’m a litt Read more of this blog post »
