Another Sunday night. It has been a good week with "The Kilt Killer" writing. I'm getting into the new plot with Meg and Janet. How do they get into so much trouble. Learned a lot about Scotland also. Did you know you can cruise on small cruise ships (Maybe four cabins) from Inverness to Ft. William. It's on the Caldonion Canal, goes through Loch Ness and many other beautiful lochs. I think my husband is going to ban me from reading any more.
My pet peeve tonight. I just read an interview on Book Country website. A new agent was asked five questions. The last one was, what's the worst thing a new author can do? She answered correctly, sending a manuscript in before it's the best it can be.
My peeve; best selling authors can fall into this dirch also. I don't know if it's advance money and dead lines, but why don't publishers catch these duds before we're lulled into purchasing another of our favorite authors, who hasn't made the story the best it can be. Example: One of the best has written more than a dozen best sellers about a great character. Then they do a new series with another great character. I love the first three. I buy the fourth. It sucks. I don't even recognize the character I loved so much .See what I mean.
Gotta go, tired. Husband wants to watch "Justified". We're still on season one. Great TV.
Anne's blog is a discussion of her book series,'Meg and Janet Vacation Murder Mysteries', and reading and writing in general. Book one is 'A Winter Murderland', set in Trier, Germany. Book two is 'The Kilt Killer', set in the Scottish Highlands on the banks of Loch Ness. Book three will have Meg and Janet vacationing in Ireland. Title 'Evil Irish Lies'.
