ksmith: (bouncing ball)
I think anyone who reads this group knows that ENDGAME was a difficult book to write. I thought I had nailed the first submission draft, but Editor begged to differ. I stared at the damned thing for a month and a half after I received the official revision letter, finally dragged myself out of the mental doldrums in January, and rewrote the *&(^%$#@ thing in a month and a half. Hoped I'd nailed it, but wasn't sure. Asked Julie Czerneda to read it because she'd read the first draft and had agreed with my editor on several points.

Well, she read it. She liked it. Her blurb will read something like: '"Endgame is that rare gem, a science fiction thriller with big ideas and consequences, told through passionate, unforgettable characters. You won't be able to put it down. - Julie E. Czerneda, author of Reap the Wild Wind'

just shameless )

*****************

So, I thrilled Julie. According to Madame Editor's post-read email, I made her tear up. I'm two-for-two.

Nothing's better, really. I live for this.

It's worth it for me, too.
