These are the things I am working on

So I thought I would make a small blog about my WIP or works in progress. These are books that I have either started or have an idea or outline for. With the Valentine/Petrilo series finished and behind me I thought I would concentrate on another story that I’ve thought about for approximately five years.

Angels and Arrows is a story of a girl who discovers at a young age she has the ability to communicate with ghosts and angels. The story follows her through a journey of not only coping but also using this ability to her advantage. Which as the story progresses she’ll need not only inner strength but assistance from outside sources when an obsessed and angry spirit attempts to take control of her life. I am currently writing this and hoping to have it released by January 2013.

Family or Foe is a story based on family secrets, lies, and double crossing. Family members covering up illegitimate children, in-breeding, and what happens to a family when one of the hierarchy tries to manipulate the others into turning their backs on one member who decides to stand up for themselves. This book is still in the thought process with no real substance as of yet.

I have several more story lines that involve the mafia. Those who know me, know that I have an obsession about the mafia. I could watch the movies and TV shows over and over again. There is something about it I find intriguing and interesting. However, when I write I do not write about just the killings and illegal activity. I try to give a glimpse into the life that most do not think of. I try to show the “humanistic” side to the mobsters.

I will post periodically in this blog as time progresses and the projects turn into something more substantial.
