Bone Dance

For those of you waiting for Fugue Macabre: Bone Dance, the second book of the Fugue Macabre trilogy, I've got to apologize and ask you to wait a bit longer. I was never happy with Bone Dance even once I turned it in. But I put it off as just that little editor on my shoulder giving me a hard time. Then once my editors said, okay, and gave me a cover and release date, I figured I was just being silly. But I couldn't let it go. I kept worrying about it. Something just wasn't right. I knew it was missing something, but I couldn't make my brain wrap around it completely to see what it was.

Then my editor e-mailed me. She said they'd publish it if I was happy with it, but....

Yup, they noticed something was missing too. Being such a wonderful publishing house (Sapphire Blue Publishing), they brainstormed the story at a meeting and handed me the problem then said if you want, you can take a bit of time and fix it or we'll run with it as is. The way they see it, it's a good read, but could be better if I take care of this one little tweak.

Well, my reading friends, I'm tweaking away.

I'm begging for your patience a little longer. I promise you, it will be worth the wait. The story will be stonger and I'll be happier. And most important, you'll get a much better read.
  • A customer came into work a couple days ago and started describing your book to the woman behind the desk, he'd the title, but LOVED your first book so much he was trying to find the second. Someone put two and two together and now I've this guy name and number tack to a board in the office. He wants me to call him when BOOK TWO is ready.
  • Getting to this late, but how's it going so far?
    • I've taken care of the last edits they requested and have started adding in the sub-plot they wanted. They didn't tell me what they wanted, just that another sub plot would make it stronger. I was surprised as how quickly the plot idea come. But weaving it into what I thought was a completed manuscript is tough. I don't want it to look dropped in. Know what I mean, Vern? ;)
