I’m still plugging away at my revisions on Arctic Heart, which I found out will be renamed at some point. I really hope I like the new title because I’ve grown attached to Arctic Heart because it fits the story so well. But it seems an upcoming release from my publisher will have a similar title, so ixnay on the itletay for my book.
I really got to cranking yesterday and got through three chapters of revisions even though I’m only shooting for two a day. Usually after two, my brain is fried. But I was able to save some material from the original version of the book in the chapters I was working on yesterday, so that helped me get farther. I’ve gone through two today, much slower going since I was writing new scenes. So far, the new version is rough, and I already know I’m going to have to go back through and add some things. But right now I need to get the new story down in its new structure before I can go back and beautify the language, pepper in ideas from the revision letter.
Diane Gaston sent me this link to Harlequin’s eBook Boutique. A Firefighter in the Family is listed as one of the top e-books in the Protectors category. So if you’d like to read my debut in e-book form, here’s your chance.

Hey, Trish. I feel your revision pain. Cool, too, about the e-book. Fun looking at the stuff you put in your blog. Like the Robin&Marian vid below. Can’t believe they didn’t recast Marian either. Weird. Wouldn’t you have loved to be a fly on the wall during that story conference?

Wow, Trish, those revisions sound brutal.
Congrats on the top status for Firefighter, though!

Annie, I watched the DVD extras for series 2 last night, and even after listening to the head gurus of the show talk about the decision, I still don’t think it was a good one.
Thanks, Natalie.
