The Next Big Thing

The Next Big Thing

I got tagged by Sarah Penner AND Becca Whitham!

The rules of the blog hop:

1. Mention who tagged you, and link to their post.
2. Give the rules.
3. Answer the ten questions below.
4. Link to several more people (I chose 6).

1) What is the title of your next book?

Right now, on my computer, it’s “Yet Another Untitled Manuscript”

2) Where did the idea come from for the book?

The genre (Regency romance) came from my editor, but the storyline came from a germ of an idea I had when reading (yet again) Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey.

3) What genre does your book fall under?

Regency romance! Yes, it’s a departure for me. I’ll be writing under a pseudonym.

4) What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?

The hero is Richard Armitage! (Sigh) I've loved him ever since watching North and South! He was also soooooo sexy in Robin Hood!

Heroine ... Undecided yet.

5) What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy fights a duel, happily ever after. :)
6) Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

Represented by my agent, Wendy Lawton.

7) How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?

Still writing!

8) What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

Maybe Amanda Quick without all the sex. :)

9) Who or what inspired you to write this book?

Like I said earlier, my editor was the one who suggested the genre. We’re both Regency romance nuts. The storyline was only a germ of an idea for a long time, but I started developing it for this book.

10) What else about the book might pique the reader’s interest?

Aside from the jaw-dropping fact I’m writing a Regency? :O I’m really praying that anyone who has felt lonely and isolated will realize that Jesus is always there for them, and loves them, and they are not alone.

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Year of the Dog serial novel

About Year of the Dog : A month or two ago, I remembered an old manuscript I had completed but which hadn’t sold. It was a contemporary romance meant for Zondervan, titled Year of the Dog . The book had gone into the pipeline and I even got another title ( Bad Dog ) and a cover for it, but eventually my editor at the time decided she didn’t want to publish it, for various reasons. She instead requested a romantic suspense, and so I cannibalized some of the characters from Year of the Dog and thrust them into the next book I wrote, which was Protection for Hire . Honestly, I didn’t take a lot from Year of the Dog to put in Protection for Hire , aside from character names and a few relationship ties. I was originally thinking I’d post Year of the Dog as-is on my blog as a free read, but then it occurred to me that I could revamp it into a romantic suspense and change the setting to Hawaii. It would work out perfectly as (yet another) prequel to the Warubozu series and introduce
