Chapter 1 of sequel started!

You would think that being at work, at a middle school would not be an ideal place to write, but it is! My muse seems to be in the mood to write, although at times tends to be difficult and the flow of ideas, words, seem to get stuck, but whatever difficulties I have been experiencing, I now have the first chapter written!

So, to give you a treat to what is to happen, I will let you see the first paragraph, but if you haven't read Birthright, my suggestion to you is...read it.

I never thought that killing a person would make me feel...complete, but when I smelled his blood, that warm rust scent, I had to smile. I had no compassion for the man,a man who hid the truth from me until it was too late. He ruined my life and tried to end it. I only regret that I didn't do it sooner, but then, I couldn't, not before this. It would have seemed appalling.

I will be amiss on Facebook, now that I have started the next book, The Legacy. You can catch me on here for updates and interesting tidbits that might be clues to the sequel.

    Good for you, Sue. Best not to question the muse, right? Just let her go!
    I wish I was writing fiction at the moment, but all I do is articles, blog posts and catch up on social networks while I feed the PR machine.
    Perhaps sometime soon I can start the next WIP.
    Take care and much success.

Red Flags to newbie authors...

I being a newbie myself have come across some things that sent out signals to cause me to think twice. Being published is great, you may not make a living at it, but that's not why you write.  You write because it is your passion.  With that being said, then take your time to look for a reputable publisher.  If an author friend or someone you know who is published by someone they like working for then by all means go for it, but if you know nothing about the publisher search them.  Find out what  you can and even then you're not told everything. I searched Trestle Press and found nothing wrong with them, but I still had this innate feeling of doom, well not doom, but a twinge of not too sure if I wanted to sign up with them.  I signed the contract, which was a one paragraph sheet of paper (red flag #1) and then a bunch of lines to where I would write what submissions I was sending in for them to publish.  Still nervous. I filled it out and sent it in then I started asking ho
