Head down, hands on the keyboard

Sorry again that I’ve been remiss on blogging. As I draw closer to my due date (baby, not book), I am starting to reach that phase where the current manuscript is pushing everything else aside. Since my evening time is so limited, I’ve been chaining myself to the keyboard. I have 50 pages left, maybe less, depending on how things pan out. 3 chapters left to write.

In the meantime, I’ve hit that pregnancy stage where real contractions start happening. It’s a little scary for me because I’ve never made it to a due date yet. I’ve been 2 weeks early with both kids, and even though my munchkin isn’t due until November 20th, I get a little nervous when I’m this close to month 9. If I follow my previous trends, I have 3 weeks left, instead of 5. And there’s always the possibility of an early delivery.

So, that’s the reason I’ve been so scarce. I’m in “Must. Finish. The. Book.” mode right now.

On the bright side, I found out last week that The Warrior’s Touch sold out on eHarlequin (it’s still available through Amazon or you can order it through your local bookseller). Still, I feel like I met a personal goal. Very exciting!

I’ve put up Patrick’s cover on my books page, if you haven’t seen it already and would like to (just scroll down). At some point, I think I need to rearrange things so the books are easier to view. Heck, I’m just happy to HAVE more books to offer! It’s so exciting, and every book is special in its way. Seeing the covers is like viewing pictures of your kids, in a way. And let me just say that Patrick was a problem-child while I was writing him. He gave me more grief than any other MacEgan. I do think he came out well in the end, but I had to really push myself as a writer.

Now if I can just keep my hands out of the candy corn bag, I’ll be in good shape…
