It’s done! It’s done, it’s done, it’s DONE!
MUST LOVE VAMPIRES, my second paranormal romance for Kensington Brava, is officially finished. Not yet officially turned in, but the main writing portion of the process is complete & it will be on my editor’s desk soon. (And in case he’s reading this: Honest, it will.
)
Even though I’ve still got some revising & polishing to do, it feels SO good to have this one primarily done. It always feels good to get to the end of a story…to know I’m going to meet my deadline, be able to breathe a little easier, to step back & think about all the plot points I included—& any threads I might have left dangling.
This was a great story, too, with lots of fun angles. Although, I must admit, it was those “fun angles” that knocked me for a bit of a loop this time & made the story more complicated than I realized it was going to be.
You see, MUST LOVE VAMPIRES is a two-in-one collection this time. (Two connected stories that make up a single book.) Which means it has two sexy vampire heroes, not one. And they happen to be brothers with a lot of similarities, at least in appearance. (Confusing details #1 & 2.)
Then there are my heroines. They’re related, too. Sisters, in fact. But to add an extra complication, they’re identical twin sisters. And did I mention they’re showgirls? (Confusing details #3, & 4.)
So I’ve got these two brothers, trying to keep their vampire tendencies under wraps. And these twin sisters trying to get close to my vampire brothers…each for a different reason, & each with very ulterior motives. (Confusing details #5, 6, 7, 10…oh, I’ve lost track! :question )
To say there were a lot of plot points to juggle & details to keep straight is the understatement of the century. Oy. :crazy
But I’ve done it. Or at least, I think I’ve done it. Going back through will help me make sure & give me a chance to get everything rounded out & polished up before sending it off to New York. And hopefully, if I made any mistakes or left out anything pertinent, I’ll catch it during my review.
But I will also be relying on my marvelous Mr. Editor to keep an eye out & make sure I got all my twin/sibling/secret identity/ulterior motive stuff right. Provided he can make sense of it any better than I did, of course. LOL :ouch




















:whistle :brava :Bigthumbs :coffee :question :dancing :cantputdown
I think I pretty much covered that with all the smileys. Can not wait to read this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if I have the date on my countdown clock correct…it will be available in….. :faint 256 days!
I love that you always know exactly what number the countdown clock should be one. I’m not even that on the ball. LOL
I’m just and HB book nerd! :Bigthumbs That date is going with an Oct 1st release date. Let me know if I got it right.
Very much looking forward to this one, love the two-in-one story :happyjoy
Thanks, Lizzie! I’m enjoying the 2-in-1 set-up, too. It was a little hard to get used to, esp. coming off the 3-in-1 structure of BITE, but it’s been fun & I think it suits the story really well. :happyjoy
I never thought I would find such an everyday topic so enhtraillng!

Congrats on finishing the book! I can’t wait to get my hands on it…
So when do we get to read it?
Oh! This one is scheduled for October 2011…exactly a year after BITE. It’s my vampire romance month, I guess. :winkwink
