Missing in Action

Yes, it's been awhile. Wish I had a great excuse but I've just been out of writing mode lately. The lack of response to my last few books has thrown me for a loop, made me question why I do this exactly.

Don't get me wrong, I will never stop writing, however, there really isn't a sense of urgency anymore. The handful of people who actually read my work are wonderful but there are about a million other authors out there to fill the void left by my absence. So I've been taking a break. You see, for the last few years I have spent an inordinate amount of time at my computer and have very little to show for it. Life has been passing me by while I create worlds that very few people visit.

So, what have I been doing? Well, since I was a little girl, I've been obsessed with Greek Mythology. Loved all the drama and craziness those Greeks came up with to explain just about everything. I'd always wanted to see where all that craziness came to be. This past September I finally did it. My friend, Beth and I went to Greece. And while we were there, spent a few days in Venice, Rome and Florence as well. It was incredible. Loved every minute. If you've never been, I highly recommend the detour. In Italy it seemed like there was something amazing around every corner. A fountain, or a church, or a well-dressed Italian man with impeccable shoes. So much gorgeousness it was mind-boggling.

I expected to return to writing with renewed enthusiasm, inspired by the sights and experiences of Europe to finish Jacob's story (Mr. Fixer-upper) and start on something new. Unfortunately, I seem to be more blocked than ever so I regret to inform you that I really don't know when I'll be publishing again. I can't force it and the muse has left the building. At least for now.

I'm sorry. I wish I was better. 

Please don't forget me. I will be back. Thanks for all your support. Be happy. Be inspired. Be good. And healthy and strong.
