Presents
In honor of my 100th post I decided to have some freelancers from Cobalt redesign the Linda Leigh website. It also feature new graphics for August and Desert Sand Iris.
A while back I mentioned that I went through and did minor retouches on Lost Angels (I'll use that blanket term for the whole series) and I realized how intense the series was. I was constantly questioning why I had the characters do something and then I would remember why and I would feel bad that I didn't give them better options. I say this because if I do have any one tiny regret it would probably be that Sofia slept with Adam. It was one of the few instances where I couldn't figure out the reasoning. Other than that I do enjoy re-reading and re-confirming all the choices the character's made.
Spam me ? I Don't Think So
It is no surprise that when readers start making a commotion that it gets back to me. I was actually working on this 100th post when someone let me know about the petition for an SA update. It was while writing this post that I decided to let you know that Lost Angels was officially over. . . however I won't lie. A part of the story that always bothered me was that Sofia never came to terms with her rape. As you can imagine I have been planning my "farewell" post but I decided to delete it and we will see what happens. I have some idea of the tone this "unnamed project" might take and one obstacle. I know this may make me look like a pushover but maybe this was the confirmation I needed to give more thought to the idea. Parts of the story are slowly forming but I would not have done this if the original idea wasn't floating around somewhere. I can't guarantee that it will be very long perhaps 20k but we will see.
Chapter 7
Yes, there was a mini-cliffhanger and I had to be extra careful when editing this because Clara's grandparents were never really there. For example when she is on a date with Peter he asks
“No, I was talking about the music. Rachmaninov been dead for almost 5 decades and his music is still alive. What is it like to write something so—“
“Amazing ?”, he tried
“No. immortal. Something that gets to live over and over again.”
“Is this about your grandparents?”
Clara assumes he was talking about Lucie and Roger as opposed to her Maternal Grandparents. When Clara says she is going to visit them her mother assumes she is going to their Graves.
Also in Chapter 6 I used the song Iris from Goo-Goo dolls and this was the original ending song for Litany Lane I've been holding on to if forever.
Single Chapter Post !
Chapter 8 is a short one the flow was just there and when it was said and done it came out rather short.
