As some of you know, Herself, my esteemed editor, and I have been going round and round about what book I should write next. Of course, I could write anything I felt like and then hope that Ann, my esteemed agent, could sell it. But I keep hoping to tantalize Herself into offering me a contract.
I want to write a kind of multi-generational story, set in Marshall County and beginning around the time of the Civil War --which was especially uncivil in these parts.
Think Gone With the Wind 
meets Cold Mountain.
meets Cold Mountain.
Lots of romance, lots of lush scenery and period dialog, lots of fascinating characters.... I think it could be really good.
But in today's skittish publishing climate, They want something more, something that would really get people's attention. So...
What if I make some of the main characters vampires?
We could call it The Wind on Blood Mountain . . .
What day is it? Oh, yes, April 1.
