When I wrote Break Out, book one in my Blood Hunter series, I had little hope of finding a publisher. But it was a book I wanted to write, a book for me, with all the things I love the most, science fiction, vampires, pirates, romance…
Then I saw a new publisher, Entangled, were looking for space operas. All the information on them looked great and I decided to give them a try and sent off Break Out. I received a reply with in the day:
“Is this a series? Please say yes.”
That was from Liz, soon-to-be my fabulous editor! Three years later, I’m writing book six in the series. So, I’d like to say a huge thank you for Liz for all her support, encouragement and boundless enthusiasm. Thank you!
And also a huge thank you to my long-suffering husband, Rob, who has to put up with me regularly zoning out of the real world and playing around in worlds of my own making. He even manages to listen to my plots and refrain from telling me: it’s not real, you know (at least after the first time!)
