To author a great novel takes patience and perseverance. When I set out to write my first book, I planned a weekend in Key West to complete it. Many years later I realize how naïve that was. Compelling writing is about rewrites and editing.
After writing and rewriting my novel through much of the Covid era, I felt I had authored an enjoyable book, but I wanted an exceptional book, I knew it was in there, but I did not have the skill to bring it across on the page. I went in search of an immersive editor that would go deep into my story and help me bring it up to a level of excellence I could be proud of.
After having discussions with several editors, I met Angie who saw the diamond in the piece of coal I handed her. The process of working each word, each sentence, each scene, and each chapter into the best telling of this story continues to be an awesome experience.
As progress on this book and others goes on, I will put milestones here, like excerpts, book cover reveals and links to completed works.
