Hello, everyone. I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know what's going on with me and my next project.
First of all, thank you for making Beauty from Pain such a successful. I made USA Today's Best Seller list. I'm super excited about that. The demand for the sequel, Beauty from Surrender, has been a little overwhelming but I'm up for the job. I've started it and I've gotten a nice little chunk knocked out. It's scheduled with my editor for early May. I hope this will allow me to release it before May 30th. That would be super!!! And I know a few readers who would be very happy about that.
Because Beauty from Pain has been successful, it caught the attention of agents and publishers so I'm very pleased to announce that I am now represented by Jane Dystel of Dystel & Goderich Literary Management in New York, NY. This is a huge step for me. I never expected to take this path but I'm very excited about finding out where it leads.
This site will be getting a facelift soon – hopefully this weekend. Please bear with me while I make the much needed changes to make it more navigation-friendly with an updated appearance.
I'm getting questions about Blood Doll and when it will be available. Whew! I had hoped to have it in January. Well, that didn't happen. Beauty from Pain happened instead. And now Beauty from Surrender is happening. I will definitely finish the Agape series but I ask you to be patient with me. I have to write what's in demand first but I promise I won't leave Curry and Chansey hanging forever. I hope to jump back into their story this summer.
I've been asked for teasers from Beauty from Surrender. I'm no where near the place where I can release those. I write really weird. I don't start at the beginning and write a full story from start to finish. I write scenes as I see them happening in my head and as I feel inspired. I begin with a skeleton and go back to fill in the gaps. It's weird. I don't know– maybe other writers do similar things. I just know I have bits and pieces here and there until I mesh it together at the end.
That's the short version of what's happening with Georgia. I'll give you more updates as they come.
Yay!!! Hoping everything keeps going to plan Id love to get my hands on the next Beauty book earlier then expected :)
ReplyDeleteI miss Curry and Chansey :'(
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!! I am so happy to hear you have been picked up with publishers! You definitely deserve the success you are having ^_^
ReplyDeleteI can not wait until Beauty from Surrender comes out!!
Beauty from Pain was fabulous! I am dying to read Beauty from Surrender. Is it May yet? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, y'all! It's going to be pretty busy for me the next several months!
ReplyDeleteLove the songs mentioned in the book. It was fun looking them up on Itunes. How about a "music list" from Beauty from Pain?
ReplyDeleteHi, r tyler! There's a playlist in the back if you keep going after the sneak peek at Beauty from Surrender.
DeletePlease please don't make Beauty from Surrender a cliche. Please don't let her be pregnant (following in her mother's footsteps) or have a brain tumor.
ReplyDeleteHe can find her easily - between Addison and Blake.
The conflict is his job is in Australia and she needs to be in Nashville - how to work it out. That's a modern romance not a rehash of many novels out now.
Thanks for your input, cheesewhiz. I'll certainly try to not make it a cliche. Promise.
Deletei loved the book it was great!!! Can't wait for the next one, please hurry up!! sorry no pressure! lol...
ReplyDeleteI have smoke coming off my keyboard... LOL!
Deletei must say ive been captivated by beauty from pain...... i have read it 5 times and many of the songs have become my favs. thanks for such an awesome book and for the sneak peak into beauty from surrender. i cannot wait for it to come out!! congrats btw i guess ill just have to keep reading beauty from pain while i wait for the next one lol
ReplyDeleteWow! 5 times. I think that's the most I've heard so far. You'll know it better than me, Amanda!! May 30th isn't terribly far away. Hang in there!!!
DeleteI'm sorry but I'd love for her to be pregnant! He's in LOVE with her, trying to find her, AND she's pregnant with his baby? LOVE! Not only that but she leaves and doesn't want to intrude on his life since she believes he doesn't love her? Love it because it's so tragic! Maybe it's cliche, but dangit-do whatever you want because obviously the first book was a success!! Love and can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteI think you may have given this some thought. LOL!!! So glad you're invested in Jack Henry and Laurelyn. I love them, too!!!
DeleteI guess we'll find out in May!!
Georgia, I just finished reading Beauty from Pain, and loved it. I cannot wait till May to continue the story. I really fell in love with this couple. I was so wrapped up in their story, I cried during the whole second half of the book. I would love for Jack to hear her song about them on the airwaves and go find her, bring her back and make her his for always and of course the song will top all the charts and she'll become famous and write more songs about their life together and their children. He has to get her guitar back to her. I hope for an earlier release cause May is too long to wait.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could write faster. Honestly, it takes about 4 months for me to complete a novel. I'm on schedule with this one but I hope to release it a little earlier.
DeleteSo glad you enjoyed it!!!
I will try to be patient!!!!
DeleteOMG...
Deletethis book is as great as i thought...
but i feel lyk i am left hanging to know what happend to jack & laurie afterall...!!!

ReplyDeletedoes the story end in the second book or is there a third one too ?
ReplyDeleteThere is a conclusion but I leave it wide open for a third, which I will eventually do but not right away.
DeleteCan u tell us when I will be released so we as readers can pre-pay for it rater buy it earlier?
ReplyDeleteMay 30th. I'll upload it on the 29th just so I'm sure it's up and rolling on the 30th.
