Thread: My Wife's Third Book Contract for an Eight Book Series, Hip Hip Hooray!

I'm proud to announce that my wife has just accepted her third book contract.
This contract is with Bienvenue Press.

The Possession Chronicles, an eight book (Paranormal) Gothic Family Saga is set in Mobile Bay area from 1904-1929.
The first book is titled Perilous Confessions, it's expected release is January 2019, and subsequent books in the series every four to six months.

In the vein of storytellers from the height of the Gothic craze such as Dorothy Eden and Mary Stewart,

The Possession Chronicles captures the historic feel while invoking a growing sense of dread—from both the characters’ choices and the sometimes creepy locations. It would be a great fit for fans of shows like Downton Abbey and Poldark.

Perilous Confessions is the first book in The Possession Chronicles, a Gothic family saga, and launches the main characters on their path to ruination and redemption. Complete at 116,000 words, the story follows Lucille Easton and her all-consuming relationship with Alexander Melling through the Christmas and Mardi Gras season in the winter of 1904-1905. Lucy is an aspiring writer and will do anything to help boost her chances at publication, including selling out her family and friends. Alex is a young lawyer from a powerful family and strives to free himself from his father’s shadow. From gossip magazine to gleaming Mardi Gras balls, Lucy, Alex, and their families—as well as society friends and enemies—navigate the Edwardian era in the socially complex area of Mobile, Alabama, with passion and guilt. Regardless of the young couple’s best intentions, Alex struggles to shed his sinful past while Lucy must decide if the demons that haunt him are worth dealing with to stay true to first love after understanding the threat he is to her safety.

The books are all written.
Now the real work begins... Three types of edits, sometimes performed more than once and having to meet the publisher's demands.

I am sure both of you have a sense of fulfillment. That's a lot of work she's done.

I'm so danged proud of her, she has worked very hard writing these books.
The writing, editing, rewriting, submissions and rejections.
Man the rejections, each one crushes her soul a bit, but she comes back and soldiers on.
To see it finally come to fruition is very fulfilling.

That's AWSOME Chile, I know you are proud.

Now if if will just get busy with YOUR cook book - all will be well with the world!
