Revision of Lost!

Haven’t blogged in a while only because I have been rewriting and rewriting Lost. The original just wasn’t me. My beta readers were correct. I was trying to appeal to two different markets and risked disappointing both of them.

So, though I really, really love how the second book of the Legacy of Atlantis trilogy is coming along, I have been putting all of my energy into rewriting Lost the way it should have been. It is now going through the editing process and I will use my time allotted with the company contracted for the cover page for this purpose. It will have a new title since the beta readers thought it was just too much like the TV series. In truth, I thought it might be good for marketing but it is definitely not anything like the TV series. So I determined that they were correct.

So the cover will change from a Harlequin Romance looking cover to more of a thriller, because that’s what the book really is, a life-threatening adventure that causes two people to really look at their lives and discover what relationships really mean. I was really exploring can a couple really be one when two people are so very different? And how can a couple be one without losing their own identities?

It’s been a whirlwind of a ride and I have learned a lot through this process. Hopefully the new book will help you in your own relationships - while giving you the thrill ride we all long for.

Until next time, Bryan
