Book Updates for The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt
9 July 2009
I’ve had a couple people ask me questions about progress for books two and three in the Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt series, so here’s an update.
Book two, Out with the In Crowd, will release this January. Right now it’s in the galley stage. My copy editor—God bless her—has read through it and found all my inconsistencies and made suggestions for word changes or dialogue tweaks. So now I’m reading through the galleys, making her changes, and then doing whatever tweaking I want as well. This is kinda my last chance to make changes. After this, the book gets put into page proofs, and changes get a lot more expensive, so we only change what’s absolutely necessary. Mostly typos, though in the page proofs for Me, Just Different I discovered Lisa wearing both butterfly wings and cat whiskers to Fall Ball. I made Lisa pick one. (Though it’s so Lisa to not be able to make up her mind.)
Book three, So Over It, comes out next July. My editor has read and approved the manuscript, so it should be moving onto my copy editor in the coming months. I’m especially excited for So Over It to release. I have no idea why, but I enjoyed every second of writing that book. Okay, there were maybe one or two seconds in there when I was like, “Ugh! I don’t know what to do now!” but in general it was a story that really came together easily.
So that’s what’s going on with the rest of the series. We’re just a week or two away from Out with the In Crowd being available for pre-order. I’ll post cover art as soon as I can!

Okay, maybe a few :)
The wings/whisker things made it through a LOT of people. I didn’t catch it until my second read through of the page proofs. THAT’S how many people.

Don’t you love saying “my editor” and “my copy editor”? =)
I’m very excited about both books releasing. Though are you SURE there weren’t a few days on So Over It where you wondered if it would ever make sense?
(And I’m ashamed that I didn’t catch both wings and whiskers. Sigh. Bad critter, bad!)
