PD Martin's Blog

Is it okay/acceptable for a blog to just have this?
Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, I could continue the exclamation marks for a few lines, if it’d make you feel better. You know, you think you’ve signed up for something substantive and you get a blog that just has one word in it. I mean, that’d be pretty crap, right? A violation of the unwritten author-reader code of conduct.

Anyway, you’re probably wondering why I’m screaming. And yes, it’s a full-throttle scream rather than a relaxed, zen-like sigh.

Sophie’s back! Which is exciting, don’t get me wrong, but I have 10 days for the “copy edit stage” of Kiss of Death. And that’s just a little scary. Normally I have four weeks, but events have conspired against me. First off, my Aussie/NZ publishing date for this book (number 5) has been brought forward from 1 February to 1 January. Secondly, I had accepted a small corporate freelance assignment a couple of months ago, assuming the times wouldn’t clash. So, when my manuscript arrived via courier on Monday morning this week, my panic was realised…it’s sitting on my desk and has to remain that way until Friday (today). Finally, today, my freelance work is done (finished at midnight last night) and I’m in the all-clear to edit. So, on that note….

I’m outta here. Wish me luck!
