I often begin my next book while the current one is with the editor. Sometimes I write three or four chapters before deciding I don’t want to pursue it. There are several givens when it comes to a new work in progress.
- It doesn’t have a title name
- It doesn’t have cover art
- I have a general plot in mind, I can picture the characters, I’ve worked out some clues, but the first draft won’t look anything like the final product
- It’s difficult to put it down while I make revisions to the previous book and Also difficult to get back into after the previous book is published
So currently I’m working on a series of cozy mysteries that are an experiment in rapid release. I plan to write three of them and release one each month for the holidays. My brother’s dog, Ginger is going to be my cover model. I’m pretty excited to dress her up in seasonal costumes! 🙂
