Hello all!
The updates have slowed a tad as my day job has entered a busy period, but there is light at the end of the tunnel as I am taking two weeks leave over Easter - that means lots of time to eat chocolate and work on Rule Britannia.
I’ve also booked Rule Britannia in for a development edit with an editor who was recommended to me -
Lorelei Logsdon, which is a great opportunity for a completely fresh set of eyes on the story from go to woah. The manuscript will go off to her on 29 May and I will have it back a week later.
Between now and then I’m adding a couple of extra chapters that I think will fill in some gaps that are bugging me.
Could I ask something of you? It’s that time of month again when syndicates start nominating books that warrant support. So when you’re thinking of your syndicate nominations this week, could you to take a moment to consider nominating Rule Britannia?
And finally - here’s my pick of the week(ish)!
After a viral apocalypse, corporations run by vampires create heavily guarded city-states to preserve the human race - as a subjugated food supply.
This is a fantastic piece of post-post-apocalypse fiction (a new sub-genre?), it’s a fun and well-paced read with rich characters that grab you from the start. Not to mention that it won the LaunchPad comp for 2016 so there are already many wonderful things on the way for the story and Robert - don’t miss your chance to say you were on board from the start!
’till next time,
Helen.
