NOT ONE BUT TWO NEW PROJECTS COMING SOON!
I hope everyone had a great, safe summer and is looking forward to the cooler autumn weather and the holidays to come. 2021 for yours truly has been a year of big changes: A new job in Atlanta, moving from Colorado back to the South, a daughter getting her Master’s Degree then getting engaged, and now two new writing projects to talk about.
The first project is a brand new novel, The Foresight of Miriam Asquith. Like all of my books, it’s an adventure romance, but this story has taken me into some new and exciting directions. For one thing, it’s set in 1939 England just a few months before Great Britain is plunged into WWII, and I’ve never written anything in this timeframe before. Another cool twist is it dives into the realm of precognition and those who can see the future. Still a third new direction is this story was partly inspired by the novels of Agatha Christie. So, above and beyond a main character with precognitive abilities, a love story, and world on the brink of war, there is a mystery of who-done-it to unravel.
I think the back cover synopsis explains it best so, here it is, straight off the cover:
It’s 1939 and Europe is on the brink of war.
Rumors have circulated for years that Lady Miriam Asquith, a distant cousin to England’s King George VI, suffers from seizures where she seemingly predicts the future. But no one really knows for sure. When a kidnap attempt of Lady Miriam goes wrong in Paris, it’s believed the German S.S. is behind it. Working for British intelligence, a U.S. Army officer, Captain Sam Burke, is sent to the Asquith country estate to determine Lady Miriam’s abilities and, if necessary, protect her. What Sam finds is a free-spirited woman with amazing abilities dismissed by her father as a “sickness.” He also discovers German operatives are still after her, and a who-done-it betrayal straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. What Miriam finds is an American with a troubled past who’ll do anything to keep her out of harm’s way.
Pretty cool, eh? I hope you’ll check out The Foresight of Miriam Asquith when it drops November 17. The paperback will be available November 17, but you can pre-order the e-book now on amazon.com. The holidays are coming, and books are a wonderful gift with hours of entertainment that can be shared again and again.
The second project is my award-winning 2017 novel, The Thing With Margot, is being recorded as an audio book. Though I don’t have a release date yet, it’ll be available on audible.com in the near future. This book has been wildly popular with readers and I suspect the audio book will be too. As of this writing, I’ve heard the first eight chapters and the characters, locations, excitement, and romance of the story come to life on an entirely new plain of existence in audio form. The book is being read by Kate Wisniewski, a professional actor, teacher and coach from the Seattle area. Kate has worked with a long list of commercial clients like Nintendo and the Seattle Aquarium, and also has impressive theatrical credentials that include the Seattle Shakespeare Company and the American Repertory Theatre. Wait until you hear how she brings my heroine of Margot Laurent to life. Amazing!
Since I shared the back cover synopsis of The Foresight of Miriam Asquith, I’ll do the same with the back cover synopsis for The Thing With Margot:
She decorates. She bakes. She assassinates.
Margot Laurent seems like the perfect girl next door. She likes romantic movies, baking, decorating, listens to chirpy love songs, and she never uses foul language because she thinks it’s unladylike. Yep. She’s many a man’s dream. Except she also happens to be a deadly assassin for a foreign government.
When a hit goes wrong in London, Margot is sent into hibernation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. There, she meets Bennett Chambers, a charming but unassuming history professor. Both he and Margot see something special in one another, and when the sparks start to fly, so do the bullets when the brother of Margot’s latest victim comes seeking revenge. Get ready to laugh, cry, and go ‘round the world on a heart-pounding adventure. The thing with Margot is—she’s killer fun!
Well—there you have it. Whether you want a modern spy story based in a university town that’ll take you around the world, or an historical novel set on an English country estate at the dawn of WWII, you’ve got hours of romantic adventure at your fingertips that I sure hope you’ll take advantage of and enjoy.
I’ll keep you updated on the release date for the audio book of The Thing With Margot and don't forget The Foresight of Miriam Asquith is available November 17. In the meantime, thank you as always for your continued support. If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out
