Submitting to fate.
Well, actually to a publisher. I have worked up the nerve to attempt novel submissions once more. It's difficult to let them loose because they never seem quite finished. There's always an adjustment here, a tweak there, a scene that can be added or deleted.
Once in a while I think 'Okay, it's as near finished as it's likely to get' and send them out. This time I started with 'Jessica's Trap', the short one at 60,000 words. 'Samuel's Girl' is also finished but it might not be a good fit for the publisher I sent Jessica to. Samuel is much more in the horror genre whereas Jessica is more historical/paranormal. Even the demons aren't scary in Jessica's tale. They most definitely are scary in Samuel's.
Well, I'll have to wait and see what they think of Jessica first. If they accept, I'll offer them Samuel because it would be good to have them all with one publisher. That would give some consistency with cover art and make promoting them much easier.
First things first. I have to get an acceptance for one of them before I can worry about the rest.
