Checking In


Wow! What a year we've all had. It's been a long time, too long since I posted here. Just to let you all know, I made it through the first year of Covid and have received my first vaccine shot. Life as we all know certainly took a hit and I hope this post finds you healthy and safe. I've been lucky that we had no losses in our family due to Covid. My thoughts and wishes for peace and health go out to those of you who weren't as lucky.

We are seeing light at the end of the tunnel; here's to a better 2021 for us all.

So what's new on the writing front? Well in February, a short story book was published, Snap Shots, vignettes about women in trying situations; some sad, some inspiring, some funny. Hope you enjoy it.

I've just finished Storm Dreamer, Book 3, The Crossing Trilogy. It's in edits right now and I hope to see it published in the fall. A new protagonist with all the old characters from Book 1 and 2; this one is about reincarnation and how past events in our lives can carry forward into the next life--and how redemption comes in strange forms.

The other news, I'd like to share with you all, dear readers is Taleflick Productions is holding a contest to find their next book to screen project, with the winner's story being optioned. I've learned that Magnolia Tree and Chameleon Games, Book 1 and 2, The Crossing Trilogy, are both quarter-finalists in their second cycle search. Next month, we'll find out if either of my stories moves forward from the 25 quarter-finalists to 6 semi-finalists. Exciting, because I feel validated as a writer and humbled to be in such great company, regardless of the outcome.

That's my news, everyone. I'd love to hear from you about your life and how you are coping with Covid where ever you live. Wishing you peace, health, and stay safe!
