Edits and Revisions
I should be ready to mail my book back to M&B in another day or so. I’ve completed all the revisions the editor requested and now I’m just doing a final read-through to make sure I didn’t do anything stupid. I did catch one error. I left a secondary character chained in the dungeon. Oops. 
Must fix that.
My husband also accused me of having a lavender fetish. The heroine’s scent is lavender and at one other moment I described the sunrise as having lavender streaks. It’s a color, okay! It’s not like everything in the book is lavender. I think I used it three times, total.
The other edit that cracked me up was when I described my Irish warrior as having bronzed muscles. My husband pointed out that, with the latitude of Ireland, the man would be pasty white. Especially since the book takes place during December. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing romantic about saying, “He flexed his pasty white muscles.” :rotfl: We have to have some room for fantasy.
Overall, I’m liking this book. Hope it sells! It still has to make the rounds past senior editor approval, I’m sure. Fingers crossed! :beer:

Good luck on the book, Michelle!!!
As far as the pasty white muscles…well, y’know, your hero has just a TOUCH of Greek blood in him. That accounts for the naturally bronze color.

Good luck, Michelle! Fingers crossed for you too!
Suzanne Says:
Yeah, I would totally not go for that pasty white thing. Though bronzed might be a bit much for Ireland in the winter, LOL. But hey, we’re talking romantic fantasy here.
Michelle Says:
Larissa–hey, an idea for my next book! Pasty White Hero! :rotfl:
