Hi
everyone, I hope you are all well!
There
have been some exciting things afoot this month for me. I have almost finished
with the rewrites for The Du Lac Princess (Book 3 of The Du Lac Chronicles). I
am hoping to send it off to my editor at the end of the week. The Du Lac
Princess has taken me on quite a journey and writing it has certainly been a
very emotional experience. I can’t wait to share it with you.
I
have also been busy working with my book designer for the cover of Book 3, and I think it might be my favourite cover so far. I will be revealing the cover very soon.
In
other news…
I
was thrilled to receive a Discovered Diamond Review for The Du Lac Chronicles.
You
can read the full review here…
I
also found out that The Du Lac Devil is a finalist in the Golden Quill Award. Yay!!
The
Contest Judges were asked to rate the books 0-10 based on the questions
below:
Is the story line engaging and interesting enough to make you turn the pages?
Is the protagonist's character well developed? (You can relate to it)
Is the antagonist character well developed? (You love to hate it)
Is the authors' writing style engaging and makes the story flow well?
Is the formatting and or illustrations aesthetically pleasing?
Did you find the story idea original?
Is the plot well thought out and well developed? (no inconsistencies and flows well)
Satisfying ending (happy ending or not, did it leave you satisfied with the conclusion of the story?)
The FINALIST books received 8-10 points out of 10:

Blog News.
Remember to keep
an eye on the blog in the coming months as I have some fabulous guest authors
coming on to talk about the inspirations behind their books. I don't know about
you, but I love Author's Inspiration, I am always fascinated about what
inspires authors’ to write their books.
Anyway,
I need to go and procrastinate on Twitter and Facebook for a while.
I'll catch
up with you all soon.
Take Care
