I just shipped the edited manuscript for Strangers to my publisher. This is my sixth book, so I'm becoming accustomed to the ebb and flow of the book-writing process, but I don't think it will ever get old. Finishing a 400-page manuscript, then reading it and finding out that you're really proud of it, is such a heady experience. In a few weeks, the review copy will arrive, and it's always a thrill to see my story in print. Then, in October, several cases of finished hardcovers will land on my doorstep and that intoxicating new-book smell will fill the house yet again. I love my work...
