Mom Camp is over and revisions are underway.

Unlike the last batch, which took forever, these seem to be moving along rather quickly.  I’m hoping to get them finished within the week.

This is the book about Yiannis Savas, the youngest of the Savas brothers. When he first popped up in his sister, Tallie’s book, way back in The Antonides Marriage Deal, I wasn’t expecting to ever write about him.  So he was a forest ranger and no one seemed to know much about where he spent his time (other than, presumably, in a forest). I didn’t know much, either.

But it turned out I was right. That’s where he spent his time then. And there was a reason for it which I didn’t really know until I started writing his book.  Interesting to discover that he was having a life all the time I was writing about his siblings.

I actually thought my last book was going to be his.  I’d planned for it to be his. But when it came time to write it, he was nowhere to be found. Oh, well, he was at the same wedding his cousin Nick was at – the royal wedding of his brother Demetrios and Princess Adriana. 

But when I thought he’d step up and sweep Mona Tremayne’s oldest daughter away, he wasn’t the least bit interested.  Thank heavens, Nick was. Otherwise I’d never had had a book!

Turns out Yiannis knew best.

When I started writing this book, he stepped right up, did his bit, grabbed hold of the story and basically said, “Yes, this is my life.”

Whew.  I’d really have been up a creek if he’d walked away from this one!

So I hope the revisions go as well as they feel as if they will. And then I can start thinking about the next book.

I think I need another run at a Book-in-a-Week.  This one turned out rather well – though it did take longer than a week to pull it off.
