Emancipating Alice: Second Edition is finally here!
Goodness! I have been promising this for over a year. The second edition was also meant to be the anniversary edition (to be published November 2013), but I just never got around to the edits, finding myself busy with tons of other projects.
Anyway, if you've read/downloaded the first edition, look out for that email from Amazon about an update, which I'm hoping they'll send (if you got it from elsewhere, the new edition won't be published until October since I've made the e-book exclusive to Amazon for a few months). Or contact me; I'll send it to you.
Emancipating Alice is so much cleaner now after having gone through several additional editors since its first publication.
It feels great to finally be done with it; I can't imagine going back to it again, when there are so many new ideas and projects on the horizon!
I feel like this post should be titled: 'Emancipating Ada' because I love this book, but I feel so free, now; I did my duty. This must be what it feels like when parents send their kids off to college.
Go forth into the world, my love! I have truly done my best with you, now.

Goodreads Giveaway
Final giveaway for a paperback copy of Emancipating Alice ends November 12th!
Perhaps another will be run once a new book is complete--hopefully sometime in 2015.
Emancipating Alice was written in one month, but for the next 7 1/2 years, kept going through revision and editing.
I'm done with it now, but I have no idea if this is likely to happen with the next book.
Will it take longer to write, but much less time to edit to satisfaction? Will I write it rather quickly, and be satisfied with it even faster?
I don't yet have a starting point for the next book, but I am finishing up work on a short story collection, due out in the next few months or so, and I will publish the longest story in it as a standalone. Beyond that, I'm not quite sure which direction I will go: darker or lighter? Stick with literary women's fiction or move to psychological suspense? Head toward heartwarming fiction? Perhaps start a series?
I'll see where the wind blows! :)
