Throwback Thursday - Starline

It seems like only yesterday I started writing, but I have to pinch myself to remember this all started 4 - 5 years ago! Since then, I have over 27 books in print and e-verson (yes some are re-releases) but its all just happened so darned quickly!

I remember finishing Starline, the first in my Warriors of the Elector series and sitting back, feeling like I'd somehow conquered the world.

Has my view of finished manuscripts changed much since then? Probably not. Once I have the first draft written, I still get that trembly sensation in my stomach along with the excitement of knowing I've completed something momentous. 

I've said it before and I'll say it again though, there is a feeling of lightness once the first draft is completed. I could liken it to giving birth... You've only just started on the road. You've got all the growing up to do, as the book is refined and edited...

If you were to ask me which was more exciting to receive, the contract or the cover art, I'd have to say I honestly don't know. I remember when the cover landed in my inbox and feeling like I'd really achieved something special. 

Sadly, this book is no longer in print. I am in the process of reworking and making decisions on what to do with it... I'd love to see it back out there again. 

But even if I only ever self publish it (and yes, that is an option now I have the rights) I will keep the original versions in paperback because to me, they are special. They were my first. They will always have a place in my soul... 

Thanks for listening to me rattle on about Starline!
