I’ve been hunched over my keyboard working on my rewrite so much so I woke this morning and can barely straighten out. I feel like a pretzel. But I really like the changes. My editor is brilliant!
I plan on putting up another first page this Wednesday for Why/Why Not? I’m really impressed with everyone’s suggestions on the two last week.
Also I wanted to mention I did sell my paranormal trilogy! Yay! We pitched it as Sons of Anarchy meets Rise of the Lycans. The books landed at Berkely with Cindy Hwang editing. They will be releasing 5/11, 9/11 and 2/12. I’m very excited.
So, I need to hop back on this rewrite, but plan on surfacing Wednesday with another page. Email your page 250 words or less to me at kltabke@aol.com with Why?Why Not? in the subject line, and I’ll pick one or maybe two depending on responses, to post on Wednesday!
Ciao for now!

PS OMG! Was the Dexter finally last night off the hook disturbing or what? We sat there in stunned silence. I woke up thinking about it.

That’s great about the sale. I can’t wait to read them. Well, I guess I WILL have to but that’s okay.
Comment
Thanks, Holly! I think you will really like this series. I’m super excited to write it!
Comment
Congrats on your new book deal!
Comment
Thanks, Jaci! I saw you sold another something as well.
Congrats. So, are you going to Nashville or what?
Comment
Fantastic news on the sale.
Yes Dexter was a super surprise. I was a little pleased the character was beginning to annoy me.
I’m bad
Comment
Thnx, Rita, I’m very excited about the series. and while i’m with you on the annoying factor of a certain character, i was so sad to see their demise. they must have been terrified. that is what made me the saddest.
Comment
The new series sounds awesome, Karin. Congratulations. =o)
Comment
Thanks, Beth! Howz your writing coming along? Still on target?
Comment
The target keeps shifting, Karin. LOL Over the weekend I decided to rewrite the paranormal I did for NaNo – from third to first POV. 2300 words in, and it’s looking great. So, I guess I’m more on-target than I’ve been for a while. Thanks for asking. =o)
Comment
That’s great, Beth. Loving what you’re working on is so important! Good luck with it!
Comment
Great news, Karin! I’m looking forward to Wednesday!
Comment
Gracias, Margarita. I’m looking forward to tomorrow too!
Comment
Karin, congrats on the trilogy sale!
I, too, was stunned by the Dexter season finale. All I could think of was how in the hell is he going to explain her death to the police. I love Dexter. It’s one of the best shows on TV.
Comment
Thnx, Carol. I’m with you on being stunned. I am still saddened by the last few shots. So unnerving, so final, so haunting. I’m not sure if I like the writers anymore. I think next season they will gloss over her death as Trinity’s revenge against the cops, Deb specifically, for discovering who he is.
Comment
Karin, congratulations on your book deal! I can’t wait to buy them.

Muchas gracias, Jake!!

Karin, can’t wait for your books. You know I love paranormal.
Darmn, I don’t have Showtime, so no Dexter for me.
Comment
Netflix, Jill. Dexter and the ensemble cast are great character studies.
Comment
Karin, did you watch the interview with Hall and Lithgow? They were both shocked by the season finale, wondering if the writers had gone too far.
Have to agree with Rita though, the wife was getting on my nerves, pushing Dexter into being someone he wasn’t ready to be, which caused him to get reckless and unprofessional. Everyone knows that as soon as the hero falls in love, it curtains for the heroine. I wonder what will happen to those poor kids.
Comment
Finally back in town and on my PC. Congrats on the sale! It’ll take me forever to catch up on blogs. Nice to see good news.
Comment
Whoo Hoo, Karin! I’m so thrilled you landed those paranormals! I LOVE the genre, an so happy for you.
