So. A Darker Crimson is all ready to go to my agent. And I've posted a bunch of stuff on my website. Chapter 1 is up, plus some pages about the series and the characters.

Whew! If you find a mistake, let me know. Thank goodness for css, though. Most of the look and feel changes for the Crimson City pages were a piece of cake. I just had to make a new style sheet and presto!

I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but I think the book is pretty freaking good. That's my story and I'm sticking with it until I start thinking about it too much. I did a search for words ending in LY and chopped 250 or so words off the MS. Then I did the same for a couple of verbs I thought I might be overusing. I was. But I tightened up the writing a lot.
