Waiting on a Baby

Waiting on a book to arrive from the publisher is a bit like waiting on a baby to arrive. There's anticipation, wondering if one will know how to take care of the incoming details, how to make this thing grow, and how it's going to change one's life. As I'm a bit older and wiser, for this first delivery, I take, what I hope, is a less frenetic attitude. I worked hard to get here, and I want to enjoy the ride. There will be a different type of hard work to come, keeping this book on a reader's radar, but like all babies, there's a learning curve. Thank God, for that.

Happy Monday

I'm writing to welcome any and all (hi Mom and Dad!) to this blog. It's my lifelong dream to write and publish, and as someone who has juggled many details in this journey (wife, mother, freelance writer, community activist, civic volunteer/leader, traveler, and herder of big ideas) it's been my mental salvation to carve time to write. Now, I'm at a place where I've set aside other responsibilities to explore what it means to write full time.
I'll let you know how this goes.
In the mean time, please enjoy the Big Inch, a novel about a woman trying to recover herself in the midst of chaotic WWII dramas in Texas--who knew, right? Because few of us get recovery just right, it might take a second book to find hope, and the more elusive, peace.
Blessings!
