re-write, re-write, right?

Jeesh! Good thing I printed off an edit copy of my book. I found sooo many things to edit on the first edit copy, I printed a second. Hard to believe how much easier it is to spot simple errors in print than it is on a computer screen! It's a process I highly recommend.

"Friends and Others"

Finally got my new book to the edit stage. "Friends and Others" is a story about a lonely, crippled boy (Ben) who creates an imaginary friend, (Theo). His friend is "special" and returns to help his creator at a time of need. The "Others" are the monsters under the bed that have frightened children for generations. The Others want something from Ben and Theo they don't want to part with.

This story is a mystery with a different twist. I'll be hunting a publisher soon, I hope!
