Wedding at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort, the sequel to Mayhem at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort, is currently being edited and revised a few chapters at a time. And while nothing is set in stone, I’m fairly sure there will be no major changes in plot or characters as we get ready to publish.
The confusion comes as I work on writing the third book in the series—Reunion at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort. I’ll be in the middle of a scene and think, “Wait! Can this happen? Didn’t they already do something that would negate this action?”
And then I’ll remember that no one but me would know and if I needed to I could change the scene in the book that’s being edited and revised. Of course my editor might want me beheaded depending on what elements changed and while I’m not terribly good looking I’m certain I look better with a head than I would without. Maybe.
One thing I do know is that I really need to come up with shorter titles for my books.
Peace, people!
Postscript: I always underline titles of books in my posts, but the underlining doesn’t appear in the finished product. Why? It’s frustrating. Carry on.

A third book! I was so excited for the second one and now you spring on me that there is going to be a third book. This is just about the most exciting news I have had this week! Yes, I live a pretty simple, midwestern life. Cannot wait to get my hands on this new book. I may need to brush up on my characters before then. Thinking about getting the first book on my kindle since I put my copy in the condo in Florida for others to enjoy while there on vacation.
Patiently waiting…………

You are the storyteller. Write the story, write the story, write the d_ _n story. Then give the joy of editing to others, Friend.

As I understand it, “The Madness of King George” film of the stage play “The Madness of George III” had the changed title to prevent Americans from looking for the first two in the series.

That’s funny and sad at the same time.

The book titles did show up as underlined when I read the post. I checked though and they were not set as hyperlinked. FYI I cannot imagine trying to edit and revise one book while working on a sequel. That takes a concentration that I have not. (This is why I tend to only write short poems! 🙂 )
