Still here and writing up a storm...

 
Well, who knew life would take me away from my love of writing for so long. Life got in the way and my priorities had to change. My husband has had a couple of years of medical issues which came first and together we have come through it all. His health struggles are behind us right now and we are resuming life as we knew it before this unexpected crisis landed at our door. His strength and perseverance brought him through and we have reached a place where we appreciate life one day at a time and are grateful to be in a stronger place.

 

Since my last post, my final book in The Crossing Trilogy, Storm Dreamer, 

              Book 3 was published in 2021.

         

 Pieman, The Papa D story, was published in August 2022. It is a nonfiction memoir about a period in my husband's life that we wrote together. 

       

Also, my publisher published a complete book for each of my series, The Georgia Series 

and The Crossing Trilogy.

      

  

Since then, I've been working on a new story and series, Beyond Impact, A Salish Sea Mystery, which is finished and in the editing stage. It took me off and on, for two and a half years to complete this project and I'm excited to see it in print, hopefully sometime this year. That's my life for the past three years in a short blog. Hope yours has been healthy and happy. 

In these changing and challenging times, remember to put YOU first and do something that you enjoy to take away the trials and stressors of your day. 

Until next time, cheers!

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! 

Stories to Screen

Here are the results of the contest for Stories to Film. I'm thrilled that Magnolia Tree came in 2nd place and here's hoping it gets chosen next month and optioned for film. Yay!
