Did you get an ARC for Choosing Her Alpha? You can post reviews to goodreads and book bub now - and you can post reviews to amazon after it's official release on the 31st! Thank YOU. I am in final edits now, after getting it back from the professional. I want it to be perfect for you guys...and spend five minutes looking at a sentence wondering if I should leave a word in or out. We all know I'm a sloppy writer, so maybe you didn't know that sometimes I mean to leave a word out - stylistically, I often do it on purpose, chopping away at extra verbs, articles and contractions.
---- This sentence ----
"His self assurance and power were unlike any she had encountered before."
>>Sounds better to me without the verb 'were.' Maybe not alone, but add it to<<
"His aura chilled the room, a leashed threat. His self-assurance and power unlike any she had encountered before."
And I feel like the second sentence has more power. I'm writing romance. I'm writing smut. But I want readers to hear it in their heads like poetry.
Is that too much to ask? While the professional editor has helped me be more commercial, going through the MS again I find myself cutting things out. The grammar police are gonna hunt me down, I just know it. But I can't help myself.
ANYWAY! Don't forget your reviews! I appreciate you, and thank you for the time you take. It means so much to me!
Was there anywhere you needed us to post the links at all?
Can't wait for book 2!!! The suspense is killing me!!
