I Know It's Over ARCs arrived yesterday and aside from a line at the bottom of the cover declaring their status as advance reader's copies, and a page inside that explains that further, they look eerily like real books. I peeked inside and finding my own words written there made me feel both giddy and self-conscious. But at the same time, although the words are familiar, they don't feel entirely like mine.
This is pretty much how I feel every time I sit down at the computer to read my writing. It's like, how did this stuff get here?
Maybe at some point I'll work up to reading a whole paragraph but for now I'm just happy to look at the ARCs on the shelf or turn them over in my hands. Maybe January, even in Canada, isn't such a bad month after all.
C. K. Kelly Martin
likes to write things down and is a firm believer in the John Lennon quote, "If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal." She's written a middle grade sci-fi and multiple young adult books including I KNOW IT'S OVER, YESTERDAY, and DELICATE. Her most recent novel, released under the name Cara Martin, is a creepy horror centring around a kidnapping and a malevolent house.
