At 2 pm I hit the “send” button and my manuscript zoomed to Winged Publications.

Two+ years work.

Now to prepare book 4 in the Soul’s Warfare series: Silence to Singing.

Jacket Cover for The Horned Edge

A Soul’s Warfare Book 3

By Rosemary B. Althoff

​Brilliant physicist Lewis Brahmindura was a prisoner in the alien world Lanthra during the Horned Edge’s first attempt to conquer the Earth. Now back home, Lewis fights seizures and PTSD and yearns for his lost love a world apart. But trouble grows when he’s tempted by a beautiful woman … sent by the enemy.

​Plus, Lewis holds the key for instant space travel—a small curl of plastic—in his pocket that could turn the tide in his favor.

​Amid all the action, family trouble looms—his mom has cancer. Younger brother Patrick is kidnapped. And Gracie, his little sister, turns to alcohol. Can anything else go wrong?

​Can anyone or anything stop the Horned Edge from their plotting?

Here I am, about to send my manuscript THE HORNED EDGE to the publisher, and what thoughts go through my head?

On the positive side, I’m thinking, “Hooray! It’s done! Celebrate!” “Years of work and I’ve got a great sci-fi thriller!”

On the negative side, doubts creep in like, “My work is stupid.” Or, “It will won’t sell.”

So, which shall I listen to? How can I lift up my soul and be refreshed?

What are some thoughts that you have about your work? How will you encourage yourself?
