On the Ropes submitted

I submitted my manuscript for On the Ropes to my first choice
e-publisher this morning!! It can take up to 12 weeks for a decision, but that's all right.

To the outside world, Luke “Strike ‘em Out” Stryker has it all. He’s the star pitcher for the Chicago Cobras, won 4 World Series Championship rings, is rich, gorgeous and is dating one of the most successful A-list actresses in the world. But appearances can be deceiving.
 
On the Ropes, takes place in the Chicago Metropolitan area – Elmhurst and Oak Brook Illinois, during the weekend Luke’s best friend Jake is getting married. Luke has two missions for the weekend. The first is as Jake’s best man. The second and most important mission is to get his first and only love Abbey, the bride’s younger sister, back. Luke and Abbey haven’t seen each other for ten years since a horrible misunderstanding broke them up. Abbey is still angry at Luke and is not receptive to the idea of a reconciliation. Luke will not take no for an answer.


I'm going to start the next story in the series. I decided on the Marine and his best friend's sister - Heath and Leah from On the Ropes.

I'll keep you posted on the status of my On the Ropes submission and the next story in the Envied Rapture series for Windy City Nights tentatively titled The Warrior's Whisper.

On the Ropes is ready

I've finished editing On the Ropes! I had some technical difficulties with the editing tools I used, but I finally got everything reformatted and edited. I feel like I gave birth! 

Editing and revising wasn't easy, but I ended up with 1000 fewer words, ending at just over 74,000 according to MS Word.

My e-publisher of choice requires a query letter and 1 page synopsis with the manuscript for each submission so I still have to prepare those two documents. I'm on track to get On the Ropes submitted in early January 2018. Then the the wait begins. According to the publisher, it can take up to 12 weeks for a decision.

Rather than freak out while waiting, which I'll probably do anyway, I'll start the next story in the Envied  Rapture - Windy  City Nights series.  Leah and Heath are battling it out with Rocco and Hannah in my head for who's up next.

I completed my first pass through On the Ropes yesterday. Still loving the story, thankfully. I'm going to make the changes that I marked up and then run it through a good grammar checker and editing tool. In order to submit it, I have to write a query letter, blurb and synopsis. I want this all completed so I can submit it by mid-January 2018.

Reviewing Chapter 5

I've been binge watching Say Yes to the Dress, both NY and Atlanta as research for Hannah and Rocco's story. I have some fun ideas for those two. I must admit, I love weddings and wedding dresses. After 14 yrs. I still love the dress I wore to marry Mr. Voss.

I am conflicted though, I'm not sure whose story should be next, theirs or Leah and Heath's. Decisions, decisions...


So far on editing On the Ropes, I'm on chapter 5 of my initial review. I'm still loving Luke and Abbey's story. I even reached out to one of my favorite authors Sam Crescent for some editing advice. She's such a sweetie!
