Writing Progress and Book Contest!

[suzanne_mcleod]

Emerging from the edit cave to say that the latest round of tweaks and changes and copy-edits on The Cold Kiss of Death [Spellcrackers.com book 2]  have been delivered back to my editor  - here's hoping she likes them  *crosses fingers*.  And of course, after I'd pressed that *send* button I had this fantastic high, thinking that Yay!

Not only that, The Sweet Scent of Blood comes out on the 30th April  in mass market paperback and Gollancz have given it a wonderful new cover! Yay! [Not that I didn't love the original, but
 



Interview and Book Contest

Not so long ago, Amber of amberkatze.blogspot.com was kind enough to grill interview me about writing and research and what type of paranormal creature I'd like to be!

She also asked me which actor I'd take with me on a desert island - check out the interview to find out my answer to that [go on, you know you want to LOL! ] and all the other questions.

And if you leave a comment telling her which actor/actress *you* would take to a desert island, then you could win a signed copy of The Sweet Scent of Blood.

Thank you :) And yes, hope to get to London again soon ...

Great look! I loved the first book. It was so great to have a paranormal story take place in London for a change.
Can I just say I love you bouncing elephant. He made me laugh out loud.

[suzannemcleod.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm really pleased you enjoyed TSSoB :-)I love London and its a fab place to use as a setting, there's so many interesting, and intruiging parts to it - great for story ideas!

And thank you from my elephant, [someone else on my f-list was kind enough to let me *appropriate* him *g*].
