A Little Something Fun
I need your help.
I’m working on putting together snippets of the projects I’ve been working on, so I can have YOU vote for what you’d like to read (hopefully it’s a Willow Aster book) next! I hope to have this ready soon, and I hope that when I put it up, you’ll vote and help spread the word! I’d like to get as many votes as possible, so I know what people are excited about reading these days.
And if you need something to read in the meantime, don’t forget to check out In the Fields! 
I am loving the feedback I’m getting about the book. Makes my day when I hear back from you or when I read a review on Amazon that lets me know it’s resonating. Means so much!
So watch for the upcoming vote post…trying to decide whether to offer two choices or four…

New Cover!
Look at the new cover for In the Fields! I’m loving it. I think the picture says so much.
If you haven’t read the book yet, I hope you’ll give it a try. And then please leave a review on Amazon, if you don’t mind. It makes a huge difference!

Giddy
I got giddy this morning when I realized that my new book, In the Fields will be coming out in just three and a half weeks! September 10th!
This project has been a labor of love for me. I started it long before True Love Story. YEARS before. It was before I ever read The Secret Life of Bees and before The Help came out. Until finding those gems, I wasn’t sure where the right fit for this book would be. I’ve still been a little befuddled on how I should label it because it’s different from those too. Is it Southern Literature? Southern Gothic? Southern Romance? A friend suggested Southern Drama and I think that sounds about right.
I hope you’ll go with me on this different writing adventure. I’ll get back to some hot and steamy movie star or something, don’t worry. But this book is where my heart is and what comes naturally for me. A little jog back in time when everything seemed simpler and sweeter…but was it really?

Shy
So it’s like this…
I’m really a shy person who functions better behind a computer screen or a pad of paper any day of the week…but put me in a room full of authors and readers, like at Book Bash a couple weeks ago, and I will try to force myself out of my shell.
The good news: I love nice people. And there were loads of nice people at Book Bash.
The bad news: I get splotchy and anxious. And want to hide. No matter what.
The splotchy, anxious, want to hide part came as I was going down the elevator Friday night…headed down for the author meet and greet. I felt like I needed an inhaler all of a sudden. I needed about ten more layers of deodorant. I needed to step in a freezer for at least 4.2 minutes.
Fortunately, everyone was so kind and perhaps dealing with their own splotchy/anxious/want to hide syndromes that I got over myself real quick. And I was able to completely enjoy the next day. There were so many people I’d hoped to meet from online messages and to see them in person was just as exciting to me as it seemed to be for them. It’s just weird to think that people would be so excited to meet a shy girl who functions better behind a computer screen or a pad of paper any day of the week…but believe me, I’m not gonna question it! I was just so grateful to be part of the whole thing.
Maryse is as beautiful as I expected, inside and out. The authors were kind and the readers, oh my word, the readers…I could not love any of you any more than I already do. You have completely rocked my world and changed my life!!!
I will probably be laying low the rest of the year. I will be going to NOLA next February, but I better stay close to home so I can finish these books!!! But, I look forward to the day that I can meet each and every one of you who have made such a difference in my life.
