The Quintessential Gemini is proudly sporting a brand new cover …
and Katherine Dale is leaking tears everywhere. Why? Well, all will be revealed in the sequel:
coming in spring 2015!
What do the reviewers think of The Quintessential Gemini and Katherine Dale’s life story?
“A really delightful story which at times made me laugh and others I cried. Well written and a good romance story that was really enjoyable.“
“I felt there was everything in this book – drama, romance, humour and a great weave of characters“
“A delightful story set in a quaint English village with characters you will think you’ve met before! I loved old Jake and Tom the postman!“

And as for Katherine, can we (dare we) ask how it’s going? Will Quintessentially Yours see your career flying and everything finally falling into place?
“It’s bad news. The revised manuscript I submitted for book number three, The Crescent Moon, hasn’t been accepted. Larraine Cinderman has taken over as my editor and after making revisions in the light of some of her comments, she has once again rejected it.”
Dear Katherine
Whilst the synopsis is now more in line with where I think you should take this story, there are areas that are weak and require a total re-write. The protagonist, Jeff, isn’t coming to life and there are several chapters which, in my opinion, should be cut.
I think we’re going to pass on this one, but of course that’s only our opinion and another publisher may well be prepared to take it on.
In the meantime if you have anything else, please do send it in for consideration.
Regards, Larraine
“I close my eyes for a few moments to acknowledge the punch that hits me square in the stomach. Gut-wrenching hardly describes the way I feel, as if someone has told me my newborn is the ugliest child they have ever seen. Finishing a manuscript is like giving birth, you love this thing you have created. It’s a part of you and if anyone criticises it, they might as well be assaulting you with physical blows. It hurts.”
We guess that’s a no, then Katherine. See you in the spring ….
