I have, you’ll be happy to know, slashed and burned at least fifty-two pages from my October book, Tender Secrets, and FedExed it back to my editor. What she’ll think of the changes is anyone’s guess, but I worked pretty hard on keeping the emotional impact strong and the pivotal scenes intact. I got rid of some descriptions and a lot of the “white space” I tend to write with. I only hope it’s enough …
And can I just say … I really love this couple. Andrew Warner and Viveca Jackson. Love them. Yeah, yeah. I know romance authors always fall in love with their latest couples. It’s a normal part of the process, like, oh, I don’t know—actors and actresses falling in love on the set of a movie. It just happens.
Still, I gotta say, with a big grin on my face, that I really love this couple.
