I’ve been thinking lately about how I really wanted to introduce this new book to all of you. It’s different from Holding On. The way that it’s written is different. The process I went through when writing it was different. The process that I am going to go through to get it published is different. It’s all around different. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a romance. It’s still about love and the uncertainty of life but it’s a little rough around the edges.
So, instead of submitting it to my publishers I entered it into two different writing contest. I went this route for a few different reasons. First, the main character Kat has a bit of a sailors mouth at times and most of the story is from her point of view. I love my publishers, they have been absolutely fantastic since I started working with them, but they are a Christian publishing company and the amount of curse words in this book might give someone a mild heart attack. Secondly, I thought that it would be a new challenge to see if I could make it in the industry outside of my publishers. I know that might sound a little silly but even if I don’t win one of the writing contests, and chances are that I won’t after reading some of the other entries, I plan on self publishing. That will be a whole new challenge for me and I am ready for it. At least I think I am.
Anyway, I wanted to share with you some UNEDITED promotional copy that I threw together for these contests. It will give you a glimpse into what the book is all about. If you like the intro then click here and you can read the entire first chapter of the book. It’s what I submitted to the contest. If you like the first chapter then please vote for my submission. I need all the votes I can get since I can only vote once. I wonder why that is?
Enjoy!
