Writing with N. D. Hansen-Hill...

On writing SFF & horror novels, publishers & publishing...and the writing life... Watch for book excerpts!

It's been a thrilling time for me! My book, ErRatic, has been contracted by Five Star for a February 2008 release. I am absolutely thrilled!

I'm in the final rewrites for it now. I'm also finishing the first draft for another novel, In Flames. This one's for Linden Bay Romance. They publish In Trysts, and I'd like to get more work to them. They are the most wonderful publishing house to work with! They were so supportive during the writing of In Trysts! It was my first romance, and not necessarily what it should have been. They really helped me out, encouraging me, letting me know where I'd opted for action rather than character development. Char. dev. is all-important in romance writing, and if you've never worked from that perspective, it can be very difficult.

Other things: 5 of my books are making the publisher rounds. My goal this year is to get them contracted, get the ones I'm working on finished, and move on to the sequels. It's time to finish The Grave Images Series, for example.

I have a few book trailers to see. I made them myself a few weeks ago. The first is for In Trysts (http://flash-movies.toufee.com/mov/32861168994619), and the second is for Be My Valentine, a book by my friend Jane Beckenham (www.JaneBeckenham.com - http://flash-movies.toufee.com/mov/36371169692268).

I have about 20 excerpts posted at my websites (www.NDHansen-Hill.com and MelodyKnight.com). The ones at Melody Knight are R17.

Happy January!

Cheers,
ND/Melody
