ErRatic was submitted and edited so many months ago, and its release was so far in the future, that I'd relegated it to the background! Well, it's not so far away now - February 2008!

The cover suits the book, though it's not as scary as the text. Still, author Jane Beckenham's comments tell the reader to prepare for a scare. I'm really excited about adding this cover to my list. Now, I just have to get around to having my website redesigned. It still says "25 published novels", whereas the reality is closer to 30. Oops.

Other things: I've been offered a 23rd contract, and am working on securing reprints of my prepublished books. More about this once the contract(s) are signed.

I have an erotic novella in progress, but am unsure whether I can pull it off. I've never written erotica, but there's so much demand out there right now! Also, I'm working on a YA fantasy. This one's a joy, and I'm making it part of my Elf Chronicles.

I want to write another romance in November (for LBR, hopefully), and hope to finish my other WIP by the end of the year. Don't ask me how many books that will give me, because I really have no idea. BoneSong and Art & Soul also need to find homes, so that submissions process needs to begin soon...with rewrites.

That's it - inundated!

Cheers,

ND Melody
