I totally understand your feelings on this. I get sad when I finish a book that I love. Its almost like you are losing a real friend or something. Congrats on finishing another book.

I never put a book down on page one and never throw it away by page 2. I will wait until I get to at least the 3 chapter if I can get there. I have only had 1 book so far that I couldn't get past the 3rd chapter. I thought I would be ok with the book just from reading the back, but once I got to reading it, I wasn't getting hooked in. No it wasn't your books. I ended up giving the book to my sister-in-law and she loves it. Oh well I guess. Good luck with all of your future writing.

Since there is another story coming soon I do not have to put this one aside but can read it quickly. Congrats on finishing another book.

I understand where you're coming from, though. When I'm checking out a new story and most of the time, a new author, I look at the back of the cover and the last chapter in the book before buying. Hope that made sense. This fear that you have seems to work for you cause your books are fantastic. Remember me when choosing someone to receive a copy of Soul of the Wildcat. A fan.

Sounds like you're making great progress on writing *and* editing! It must be hard as an author because you don't get immediate feedback for finishing something--you have to send it off and wait and wait and wait before your book's finally in the hands of readers! (I know you have your editor and some readers along the way, but it probably isn't the same!) I'm thankful you keep persevering and know that once your books get to us, we love them! Looking forward to your next one! Thanks for blogging, Devyn! Sounds like you’re making great progress on writing *and* editing!

I like your shapeshifter books and Soul of the Wild Cat sounds good! Keep writing!

I've been fighting printer problems. Got halfway into printing Siren's Call and the printer went FRITZ! Had to run to WalMart and buy a new one so I could finish getting the book from hell printed. Managed to get 7 chapters edited. Not bad. I'm trying to finish it up this week, knock wood! Thanks, all, for your terrific comments. I’ve been fighting printer problems.
