I saw the latter on FB too but haven't heard the results; hope that went well. I've been crazy busy doing my own revisions finally. I am SO excited, because once I finish my revision I am letting it sit for a couple of days--and rewarding myself by reading COMPULSION in the interim.

Yep, the...I hope you'll love them both, Sierra! Yep, the way that publishing works, Persuasion had already gone to copyedit before Compulsion released. I'm currently working on Book Three and a super-sekrit project, plus reviewing the copyedits. It's a little crazy when you think about how it all works, but I am actually on a very light schedule compared to some writers. Jen Armentrout published NINE books this year. I can't even . . . <br /><br />Your ice cream and reading solution works for me!

Um, haven't time to replenish my bananas in the house due to this UGH deadline (to use your word, LOL!) so I use the drink of choice: Dr Pepper. Regular with ALL the calories. <br /><br />Okay, back to this grinding, detailed work of 3 pages an hour revising and cutting. Sometimes 1 page an hour. I dislike revisions because it makes me dislike my own words. In good news I've cut 6,000 words! Still another4,000-ish to go to get it down to what my editor wants. *mewling*<br /><br />Craving chocolate chip cookies in spades. But no time!<br /><br />Will call end of the week to catch up with you! XO<br /><br />P.S. So sorry to hear about Auggie. Sending hugs all around!

So e...Can't wait to read Lailah and Persuasion. So excited that you've already announced a sequel. As for PPD after a book, that's a concept I've never thought of before! But it makes a lot of sense. I imagine that the publishing world is very fast paced and I know that you guys are planning books years in advance of their publication, so I get that you'd already be working on other projects when Compulsion came out. So crazy! My advice is to eat lots of Cold Stone ice cream and read, read, read. That always works for me.
