My August 2006 release is called Viva Las Bad Boys! You probably know that if you ever glance over at my sidebar.  For those not reading my sidebar…please read the sidebar ’cause that’s my only promotion at the moment.

Anyway, it’s a single author anthology that takes place - have you guessed? - in Las Vegas.  The first two novellas are with my lovely editor.  The third is sitting in my, well, in my laptop.  It’s done, has been, except for the final edits (which can mean tweaking or a complete re-write of the last half of the book), words from my cp (which tend to go like this: the last 2 chapters don’t make any sense, so re-write them - yeah, I know, but she’s usually/almost always right), followed by a final look by me. 

See, before I can take that final last check, I have to step away and not look at the book for a few days.  That way, I can go back with semi-fresh eyes.  I do this, in part, because I hate everything I’ve written by the time I hit the last page.  It wears off  eventually, but the immediate end comes with a "this sucks" feeling.  The days away give me some perspective.  With this one I have some concern I will return and think "still sucks" but I’m hoping not.
