This morning bright and early at 6:20am, sitting in my email inbox was THE email. You know the big one...the editing email.

Duunnnn!
Let me say, I was pretty worried that she would come back and say something along the lines of:
- You need to add 10,000 words, or
- You need to delete these X amount of chapters
She didn't say either of those, so I wiped the sweat from my brow! But here is a little of what she did say:
Hi BK!Did you catch what she said?!?! She CRIED!!! Seriously, as a writer, having your readers cry is one of the biggest compliments and one you strive for...okay, well, not every writer strives for that. But as a contemporary writer, yes, I do strive for pulling the emotional strings.
First of all let me say that you made me cry and that's not nice! But honestly, I really enjoyed your book and I could really connect with Jemma (especially the grandma story line) and that was cool. You also did the love triangle in a really cool way. A lot of times triangles seem overdone but this was interesting because it was a rock star and who hasn't fancied themselves in love with a rock star who's spoken to their soul? So glad I'm the one getting to work with you!!
So, one of my author goals has already been achieved even before RAINING DOWN RULES has been released, and I am so very flattered!
I'm still waiting on my final cover, and hopefully I can reveal it soon.
