Red Pencil Thursday Rides Again!

Hello everyone! Today I am over at the beautiful and talented Mia Marlowe's website for another round of Red Pencil Thursday. ;o) Mia is one of the nicest women that I know and she is one of my favorite authors.

I always have so much fun when we do this. I gain a lot of useful tips, pointers, and much appreciated insight.

Today, we're looking at the prologue to Rowan's Lady. I will probably release this book in the fall.

Pop on over to Mia's site and see what I've done with the first 500 words! ;o) I would love to hear what you think.

Hugs,
Suzan

Why The Re-Write?

Sometimes an idea is handed to you, one that is just too good to pass up! That is what has happened with the Prologue to Findley's Lass.

A very dear author friend of mine, Emery Lee -- whose opinion I highly value -- made the suggestion that perhaps I should show how Findley and Maggy met. I didn't need to think twice about it. Don't worry, I've simply moved the original prologue and it is now happily taking the spot of Chapter One. ;o)

Not everyone reads prologues, but I do happen to be one of those that do! I think the prologue -- if it gives insight to the story you're about to read -- helps set the pace for the rest of the book. So it only made sense to re-write the prologue to Findley's Lass. And since it hasn't actually been released, I felt it was still my prerogative to change it. ;o)

You can read the prologue here, under the page titled "Findley's Lass".
