Revision and layout are bolting forward on From the Ashes of Courage, as you can see from the front-cover image here. (Click to enlarge.) It would have been nice to have these for Christmas, but there’s simply no way to get a copy to you in time for the holidays, even if the manuscript were completed and typeset today. However, I’m doing the next-best thing.
I’m releasing a special, limited, pre-publication edition of From the Ashes of Courage—this month, if possible—including an advanced copy of the entire, edited manuscript, plus a host of extras:
- deleted scenes (there’s at least one)
- “the writing of” stories and inspirations
- reader’s discussion guide
- writers’ lessons from behind the scenes
- scans of original manuscript pages
And of course, all these special, limited-edition books will be autographed.
The manuscript is currently part-way through being revised. Subscribe to this blog to keep up to date with the book’s progress and on how you can get one, because I won’t be posting that information anywhere else.
From the back cover:
Gail Bishop is a headstrong, driven, single-minded businesswoman, a successful independent professional at only 29 years old. But she still feels empty. Eddie Chase is a fun-loving real-estate agent who made a mint in the boom market, now fast running out of money. And their friends set them up on a blind date, unaware that many years ago, they were once married to each other.
Now, both are taken aback by their feelings for each other at a romantic, seaside cottage on Ardor Point, and by the impact this will have on the rest of their lives. This long-languishing relationship that Gail thought was surely dead, could it hold the secret, the meaning of life that she’s looking for?
A heart-wrenching story of human kindness and love without strings.
Stay tuned…
