Throughout the (ahem) five-year process of writing Redemption on the River, I kept throwing old drafts and various other pieces of detritus into a dark, obscure corner of my office. Today I dragged it all out and took a picture:
The pile represents the 12 drafts of the book, review copies from beta readers, notebooks, moleskins, the loose-leaf manuscript returned from my editor covered in red, her 76 page report, the laptop that I killed in the process, the replacement laptop on which I finished it up, and the desktop in my office.
In other news, the book recently received its first review from a dedicated book review site. Link to the review on Romantic Historical Lovers.
