Third Time’s A Charm?

My latest novel is a Boston-based dramedy about three women friends without children who face challenges to their health, career, family, and love lives with heart, humor and warmth as they enter their forties. It is my third novel, but my first novel for which I’m working with a literary agent. My previous two novels, a legal mystery, Deadly Sacrifices, A Marguerite Montez Mystery, and a fantasy novel, Bridles of Poseidon,  were self-published.

The temporary title of this new novel, Friends Like These, will likely be changed before any final publication. I spitballed a bunch of different titles with friends and my literary agent which was a fun process. It has been a long road, but I’m very excited that my third novel is finally on submission to major publishers of women’s fiction. It’s a great development and a big step forward in my writing life.

I feel like this phase is the part of the roller coaster ride when the car wheels are clacking, slowly climbing up the first hill. You can see the crest of the hill and you’re holding your breath in anticipation of what’s on the other side. I’m hoping for a happy thrill ride and that the third time’s indeed a charm in selling my work to an amazing publisher. I will keep you in the loop as I go through this process for the very first time!
