If you had seen my event section on my website before I updated it today, you would have noticed that the past TWO MONTHS were sparse so that majority of my time could be spent editing IGNITED. (In case you missed the earlier reveal, Ignited is the title of the second book in the Unclaimed series.)

Two months may seem like a long time, but when you factor in life, those precious 60 days suddenly doesn’t seem like enough.

Still, I was fairly confident my editor and I could pull it off. She is the same brilliant woman I worked with on Unclaimed and will continue to work with on the rest of this series as well as other books. I trust her. When she sends me back her notes, I don’t freak out. Even when she’s hacking my story to bits or telling me a whole scene needs to be rewritten, even though we really don’t have the time to do it, or when we changed the ending last week…

I don’t gripe or get all huffy and claim that my book is the most amazing piece of literary art and she just doesn’t know what she’s talking about. No. I listen. I learn. I rewrite it. Because every single word she and I stress over, makes Maddy and MJ’s story, and Justin’s and Damien’s and Elizabeth’s and so many more wonderful characters that you will get to meet, that much more impactful. That much more real. And I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out.

Today is the deadline for editing to wrap up. So how did we do.

We finished last night!!!!

There are a few more steps to go before Ignited is ready for you, so be sure to check back here and on my Facebook Page for the latest updates.

Love,

Laurie
