The Summer Queen

An early look at the first chapter here. Sigh. It's going to be a long long long wait...

Summer of 2013????!!! Do you think that is a typo? Do you think they meant Summer of 2012? Otherwise why would they release a preview two years before it comes out? Gah!!!!!

Nope, not a typo. Ms. Chadwick graciously sent The Lit Asylum the first chapter as an early Christmas present for her fans. :) I think it's simply lovely.

I'd rather have some teasers. I think. Have you been following her opening and closing lines on FB?

Oh oh- I foresee a regular refrain of "Is it 2013 yet?" coming up :)

I don't read previews, if I can't have the whole book then and there, there's no point.

I've got to get it written and get it right re the research - and do all the online stuff and still have some sort of home life, so it is 1213 for the book. I've to have it handed in by next September, which is already way too close!
Some readers love to see previews, some don't. For those that love it, I've put the first chapter up there. For those that don't - well they don't have to look. Simples. :)

I'm trying to restrain myself from reading the preview. But I've been following opening and closing lines on facebook.
