Sorry to be late with this. I got caught up in a marvelous manuscript and time just slipped away.
This is absolutely the best part of my job. I read a manuscript of a book that I just know you guys are going to love when we get it into print. The author asked if I had revisions to request and I said that I was somewhat hungover from the experience of reading her story and I would get back to her when I wasn’t quite so addled. Pure magic.
While reading, I wasn’t cold, I wasn’t tired, in fact, I wasn’t here. That’s some power, if you ask me.
There were two sections that brought tears to my eyes which is kinda embarrassing when you are on the bus.
You won’t get to see this for some time, it’s scheduled for mid 09. The book in question is a brand new historical romance by Mary Jo Putney and I am one lucky editor. It will be a Zebra not a Brava. When we get ARCs, I will make sure you guys get a chance at a couple of them.
I must go now and embrace my normal activities.
Fat chance.

Sounds lovely!
Sylvia, who strives to addle you with every book she writes…
Lucky you! I think the only hangovers I give Hilary are wine induced!
Sounds wonderful!
Jeez. Louise, Kate. I got chills reading your post.
“I said that I was somewhat hungover from the experience of reading her story…”
It doesn’t get any better than that. Period. Can’t wait!
And THAT is why I love to read. Can’t wait to hear more about this book.
Just don’t get addled as much as I’d like to. I’ve never read a Putney book, but this definitely has me tempted.
So inspiring to hear an editor completely enthralled with a manuscript. Please post a reminder when the book is released. Thanks, Kate!
Mary Jo Putney writing for Zebra - that’s fabulous news!
I’m looking forward to it - thanks for letting us know.
