A Werewolf at War

What is it with my characters these days? A new character started telling me about his war days. A werewolf serving in a war. Could things be harder? From being busted during Basic training for going AWOL during the Full Moon, to being penned down by enemy gun fire while the moon slowly fills. Can he get away from his buddies and behind enemy lines before the wolf takes over? Better the wildness of the wolf kill the enemy than his allies.

I'll start on this new story after I finish Blue Ridge. Meanwhile, I'll take notes of events and characters in this new story.

I'm going to have to try to cut back on something, to give myself more writing/editing time.

First rejection

Midnight Hotel: A New Beginning was rejected by the publisher. They liked it, but found it confusing. If I want to submit it to them again, I'll have to do some major changes. Changes I'm not all that willing to do. If I make the requested changes, it will ruin the feel and style of the book. While I respect the publisher's opinion, I don't think I can remove one of the couples in the book or make the storyline less complicated. Not without sacrificing most of what the story is about. There are two main couples in this book, and their stories interweave in such a way I can't separate them. If I tried to make two stories out of it, I think that would be really confusing to the reader, because the couples interact with each other. They are friends and colleagues.

I'm trying to come up with cover art for it. I think I'm going to have to try the self-publishing through Lulu.com route. I'd have loved to have had an actual publisher in on the project since I have three trilogies already written, all in this same style. It has multiple couples and storylines interweaving around each other. I don't call it a written paranormal soap opera for nothing.

I'm currently working on a new story, with one couple and one fairly simple storyline. It takes place in the same world as Midnight Hotel, but years earlier. It involves some of the werewolves in my world.
