Cold Press has been through an extensive re-write, in which 20,000 words of the original manuscript were removed, only to be replaced with 50,000 new ones. It’s also been through an internal edit to eradicate both cliches (avoid those like the plague, haha) and unnecessary adverbs. It has now gone off to an esteemed editor prior to publication. All being well the March 17th deadline is still a possibility – unless of course Carrie (the editor) points out substantial fundamental flaws.
In the meantime, it’s full steam ahead with book 2, which should be released by May 2017.
Skirt (as it’s currently known) is a comedy thriller, originally written in 1999. It has villains, a missing person, and lots and lots of hosiery. Set in London, Las Vegas and San Francisco it deals with the important issues of the day, like what does PG mean in PG Tips, and can you ever have too many Cadbury’s Flake Cakes?
The big re-write is underway (although it’s over 97,000 to begin with). More news soon. 🙂
