No 1 In Threesome

Italian Knight number 3 is finished and has been submitted for editing! It's got weight to it people. Almost 44,000 words. As usual, there were parts that were difficult to write. It meant dredging up old feelings of betrayal and hurt and humiliation and... damn, did I enjoy any of this? That's a lie, yes. I got to play around with some fantastic characters, from crazy to more crazy and psychotic in between. If any of them seem excessive to you, I'm now convinced I'm surrounded by mental patients. Actually, between my job, the writing, my family and my friends, I'm rather surprised I haven't been committed myself. Meh, there's still time. It is also my fastest ever writing. From the trickle of the prologue to the BL that comes at the end of my manuscript, took me a total of 36 days. Considering I don't plot a story, it usually just tells itself and for once, I wrote from beginning to end, I am genuinely quite shocked. Hank has obviously forgiven me for calling him a lazy whore!

    I need to arrange a playdate for Hank and my Muse cause clearly she needs a good influence so she'll stop giving me the silent treatment. Can't wait to revisit your Italians Billy Bee.

    Haha! Hank may not be the best influence. He runs off frequently and I have suspicions that he goes and parties with my characters for weeks on end. Then when he's tired and need some antibiotics, he remembers what he needs to do for me. So excited for you to meet this dude!!

    So looking forward to this. Do you know that you're one of the very few, perhaps the only author of I/R who can make me fall in love with an Italian hero?. I'm not a fan of them, can't get the picture of their, what I call "greasiness" out of my head, but your characters do an excellent job of making me forget their heritage, which is odd, since it's steepled in the mob, something Italians especially are famous for. I think though the Brit side helps me to forget and really get into these characters without being judgemental. Sooooooo looking forward.

    It's more about the London thing than the Italian thing I think! Not long to go now!!
