I think so.
I had a very nice response from an agent in regards to several of my stories. Nice, as in it told of a few things I needed to do differently. So I went back and re-read several passages in a slightly newer light. And I am about 70% in agreement with her. She has also forwarded a few thoughts on how to approach other writers and see what they think as well. So far, she has been the most patient with me and interested in what I am doing. (no contract yet, but I'm working on her!)
So, I have gone through Boston Knights and now have a Revision One available on Kindle.
I want to thank that agent and several of my readers for their suggestions and questions. Suggestions are good. Questions are cool! Some about history. Some about how I write. Several about when the sequel is coming! And a couple about when will they see the movie.
I'm working on it!!
Working on it all.
Waiting For The Past (formerly WAITING) and The Hollerinth Affair are both just about finished with their first full revisions, too. I will have them replaced in Kindle as soon as they are ready.
The stories are the same, but some of the sentences and grammar have been improved for readability. In reading aloud some of the passages, I became painfully aware of how 'thought' sentences are not the same as 'read' sentences.
Watercolors (AKA The Watercolor Murders) is over 60,000 words now and I've finished doing the same kind of 'revision' on it as the other three. I have about 6 or 8 more chapters to go to finish it and expect it to end somewhere short of 100,000 words. So, I expect to see it on Kindle before long, too.
I am still pestering agents and publishers, so if you know any good ones, let me know. I am open to suggestions.
Thank you to all that have contributed with your encouragement, your suggestions, your laughter and your tears. Even those of you that got p***ed off at me for killing off a character or two. (Sorry! It had to be done!)
More soon.
