Winding Down and Gearing Up

I haven't posted in a few weeks and I could make up some lame excuse but I won't. I've just been living the good life as my kids are out of school for the summer. Those who know me well know that I love summer. No school, no homework, no mom's taxi duty. Don't get me wrong, school and after activities are important, but I do enjoy the down time. Okay, so enough about my personal life.

I've been getting a lot of questions about my writing life. At this moment, it is a contradiction. It is both winding down and gearing up. I am thrilled to announce that Divorcing a Dead Man is currently in the hands of my publisher, Chalet Publishers. My writing journey with this project is nearing an end and all that will be left soon are pre-publication details and promotion. While I have struggled with this novel (but that's a different story), I am thrilled with the final result and can't wait to share it with you soon.

On the flip side of this coin, I'm gearing up for a new project. It is not an installment of the Thomas Hall series. (Don't panic, there will be more.) This means new characters, new settings, new plot arc, new everything. It's a creative time for a writer, but very time consuming. I'd love to say this is the perfect season for this because of the extra time summer brings, but we travel a lot so it will be a slower process than it should.

I'll be posting a lot of events and updates in the next couple of months, so if you haven't signed up to receive updates now might be a good time. Trust me, you don't want to miss a minute!
