We live about 30 minutes away. Isabelle felt Fitz was hers for good reason and if I put myself in her shoes I understand. Especially when Fitz kept repeating he would love her until he died. ;-) But RtH was all about Millie and I loved her so much. The scene when she gets out of the carriage at the train station...etc. just kills me. That's the height of my Isabelle hating in the book. I'm looking forward to liking her more soon.

That sounds so painful. He must have been in good shape to bounce back so quickly. That was an interesting blog post by your agent. Thanks for the link. Ouch. That sounds so painful.

That was an interesting blog post by your agent. Thanks for the link.

Phew. LOL, poor Isabelle. If anyone is to blame, it's prolly me. I like my heartache strong and undiluted--in a book that is. I'd appreciate any pimping you can give THE BURNING SKY. I think it's a good story well told, and I would love a wide audience for it. Our hotel was in Mira Mesa so he went to Scripps Memorial, which turned out to be a very good hospital–and in network.

I’d appreciate any pimping you can give THE BURNING SKY. I think it’s a good story well told, and I would love a wide audience for it.

I've always felt that Isabelle was probably the unluckiest of the three main protagonists in RAVISHING, so I've always had this sympathy for her and you are right, that does make it easier to create a story for her. (Though, alas, that story is no easier to execute than anything else I've written.) :-) The original editor who wanted to see me in YA passed on the story and the book actually sold to a colleague of hers at the same house, but a different imprint. And yes, I can't say enough good things about my agent, who has great taste, great business acumen, and a directness that is never unkind. The agency recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and she has a great post about it <a href="http://pubrants.blogspot.com/2012/08/feel-fear-do-it-anyway.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
