Ta-da!!! Revisions

Okay, so I sold the book on Dec. 3. I received the revision letter from my editor on Dec. 4. The first time I read it, it was awesome. Very little to do, in all actuality. 
The second time I read it, I wondered if I was under-estimating what I needed to do.
The third time I didn't really read it, just sort of shuffled it from one place to the other - okay, I admit I re-read the "incredible sex scenes, as good as any we see" part. Did I mention that Red Sage also publishes Angela Knight?!
So, here I was stupefied like I'd been hit by a Harry Potter Wand blast. HOW do I do revisions? What is expected? What if I do it wrong? Am I reading this right?! Help!!!!
Fortunately, I have very supportive critique partners. They talked me down off the ledge.
Tonight, thanks to Mae, I was finally able to sit down and actually organize everything. We created order out of the non-existent chaos. (That would be the chaos I created in my own mind, btw). She reminded me of the great things the editor said about the book, my plot, my characters and that was why they bought the book - because it's strong. It just needs a bit of sprucing up.
So, now I know exactly what I need to do, where I need to focus my energies and am confident I will get it back to Theresa on time.
If not early!
How cool would that be?
Wish me luck!!

Welcome!

I'm thrilled to announce that I have sold my first book titled Her Dark Master to the Red Sage e-book program. The book will be available online at the Red Sage site in summer of 2009. 

The book is an erotic Regency with some twists and turns, along with lots of passion. My heroine, Tori Ashford, is a headstrong young woman who knows exactly what she desires. She defies convention and society to claim what she wants.  Matthew Corwin, the sexy Earl of Sussex, is a man who has dark desires and few outlets. Imagine his surprise when he learns the "lady of the evening" he bought for one night of pleasure, is REALLY a lady out of whore's clothing. His retribution promises to be swift and sensual.

I'll have more information for you as I get it, including a super sexy cover! In the meantime, welcome to my new blog. 

Happy reading!

P.S. If you want to send me an email, the address is jenniferaugust08@yahoo.com. I'd love to hear from you.
