The Delinquent Bride – finished (again!)

After sending The Delinquent Bride to my publisher in May, doing a little bit of editing on it about 8 weeks later, then shelving it while I worked on something else, I have finally gone through it again and pretty much rewritten it from the halfway point, changing the main character Shelley’s love interest. There were also some changes earlier in the book, but as it’s based around the Titanic, at least the parts on the ship and concerning the sinking were pretty much unchanged, with just slight changes involving one of the characters. Shelley’s love interest was already a character in my original version, he was just a more minor player in the story. I do prefer my new version and I had fun writing it, though it was awful to delete whole chapters. I’m grateful for my editor’s help and hope he likes the new version. Fingers crossed there will be relatively few changes and it will be ready for publication soon. It seems ages since I had anything published (actually April) though I have 2 stories with him now (the other one a 20,000 word medical play story).
