Plus a second murder in each, not of realtors. I've also terrorized a few realtors in each book. No real estate professionals were harmed in the writing of the books (or in the third installment, which isn't finished yet). <br /><br />To read my writing - I have Melissa the realtor in the DIY-books as well; she'll get shot soon - you'd think I had a problem with realtors, but I really don't. My husband is one. I was one myself until the writing took over too much of my time. I have the highest respect for realtors. But you wouldn't know it to read my books!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-56164193541795948102009-08-19T11:43:32.189-04:002009-08-19T11:43:32.189-04:00Hi all, sorry I'm late.

I always find more revisions I'd like to make.<br /><br />Pat,<br />Yes, it's a great job for murder. So far I haven't killed any realtors or clients, just made them suspects and murderers. That will change with the book I'm working on now tentatively titled, "Buying Murder".<br /><br />Dru,<br />Thanks for checking out the books.

I'm there right now! I've read my manuscript over front to back three times in three weeks, and I don't think I can do it again. It's due Friday.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-29584185742436208602009-08-19T07:44:42.183-04:002009-08-19T07:44:42.183-04:00My husband publishes a national real estate newsle...My husband publishes a national real estate newsletter, and has written some real estate books, so we well know there are lots of opportunities for murder in your business! <br /><br />Enjoyed the interview very much!!PatRemickhttp://www.patremick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-21464861099434465992009-08-19T07:20:12.669-04:002009-08-19T07:20:12.669-04:00Thanks Jennie and Nancy!

Some authors say they only stop revising because it's time to turn the book in to their editor. When do you decide you're finished editing?Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.com
