Dear Lori

Got the galley for Lady Bea last night, and right off the bat I found an error in the damn blurb!!

Now I really have to squinch my eyes and read the damn story - in detail - again. I think I hate Bea and I really don't care anymore if she gets her HEA, lol.

July can't come soon enough. It'll be time to shed Bea and get it on with TL. At least TL thinks she's funny. ;-)

OMG!!

Antonia is threatening to send The Seduction of Lady Bea to line edits!!

Now that I've had a chance to think about it, I wonder: did we go through so many edits because we were polishing a pearl with potential,or simply because it needed that much more work? Well, it is very definitely polished and I'm very pleased with the changes, as is Antonia, I think. She kept them, anyway, lol.

I gotta tell ya, Lori, this is nerve wracking stuff. You know how I hate rewrites and I've been rewriting my ass off. Actually, that's not true, my ass is still there in all its glory, so we'll just say there's been a lot of rewrites. Makes me wonder why the story was accepted in the first place!

However, I'm not complaining, it just sounds that way. I'm musing - there's a difference, you know. I'm trying to understand. Trying to sound intelligent and like I know what the hell's going on.

I keep checking my email, but so far no word. If she really sends it to the line editor ... should I stock up on chocolate? Maybe vodka?

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!

Love

Carolyn
