It’s been a
while since I posted, and it’s great to be finally back with some good news –
the Clandestine Classic that I’ve been working on for Total-e-Bound has been
accepted! Yay!
For those of
you that don’t remember, Total-e-Bound’s first clutch of Clandestine Classic
novels were released last year to a wave of publicity, some positive, some less
so. In fact, some sites implied that the writers involved were plagiarists,
that they were desecrating classic novels, and that they were obviously
incapable of getting published under their own steam. All of which was
ridiculous, of course. The writers in question were already published multiple
times, the novels were out of copyright, and the original authors were credited
for their own work. And let’s not forget that for everyone who didn’t want to
read the sexual exploits of Heathcliff, Jane Eyre, Mina Harker, the original
novels were still available. No damage had been done to them.
And
actually, I’ve found that the new line has drawn my attention to novels I
previously knew nothing about. While several in the series I had already read,
I’ve now been introduced to such works as Dracula,
Tarzan of the Apes and the Sherlock
Holmes stories, which now have pride of place on my Kindle. Hardly a disaster
for literature!
Unfortunately,
I’m not able to say yet which novel I’ve been working on, but as soon as I can,
I’ll be back here with an update. I’m looking forward to the edits, which are
the next stage of the journey. In the meantime I’m working on another short and
two novellas, one being a sequel to I
Heard Your Voice, which I hope to have finished in a few weeks.
So best to
all, and watch this space!
