She also suggested adding dialogue in a number of places that I had kind of breezed by with a sparse description. It will make the book more readable. And yes, I also like the cover, as I did Ellen's cover for AMCP. And, as a side note, I will say that your "An Arranged Marriage" story a decade ago was one that caught my interest and hooked me into this whole world of Austen. Many thanks for snagging me!<br /><br />ColinColin Odomhttps://www.facebook.com/colin.odomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-43787898721216152182013-12-22T21:40:04.715-06:002013-12-22T21:40:04.715-06:00Well, it was only after Book 1.

I think a lot of authors wouldn't, for fear of spoiling the effect, but we pitchfork-carrying Darcy/Lizzy fans need the reassurance. At least I do.

Thanks, Christina, for taking the time to let me know and for allowing me to post for you!<br /><br />Hey lady, I've tried to comment on your blog a couple of times but it doesn't seem to want to take. I have either remarked several times or none. Sorry if its the former n litters up the thread. <br /><br />"Awwww, Colin, you make me blush. Working with a pro like you -- yes you are a PRO now-- was easy; a Talented writer open to making their work better-- every editor's dream. This book will make your readers WEEP. Then weep for JOY. I have read it countless times as editor but several times prior to getting you to publish it, and I can truly say, it is a story that lingers with you. I hope people love it as much as I do. You deserve ever success. Working with you has been a joy-- truly a humble, clever, talented gentleman! Merry Christmas! <br /><br />Btw I remember when my sister read this as a PDF at my insistence, and her calling from Atlanta sobbing. And so upset at my recommendation. Ha! I said I don't think you finished yet. She then realized Book2 was only a scroll away and completed the novel.

In this case, the author has to keep true to the spirit of Miss Austen's writings and her times, and, with the help of my editor, Christina, I think we've done that with "Consequences."
