CHASING GEORGIA, THE GEORGIA SERIES, BOOK 2

After a year that feels like I've lived a life-time, Chasing Georgia, The Georgia Series, Book 2 is now live. I'm so pleased to offer this book to those who have been waiting for it. 

When Winter's Captive, Book 1 of the series was being written, I had no idea there was a Book 2 in my future. Not until Book 1 was completed and I realized Georgia had taken on a life of her own with more to do and say. There are three elements to Book 2. Here is the back cover blurb by way of explanation.

Back Cover:

… from the Author of Winter’s Captive, the Georgia Series, Book 1

It’s been five years since Georgia Charles survived a winter lost and alone in the wilderness. After a whirlwind life of celebrity, Georgia wishes to settle into a quiet lifestyle as her daughter begins school. But everyone wants a piece of her; a boyfriend, who tests her newfound sense of confidence and trust; a surprise visit from her ex-husband’s widow that turns her world upside down; and a stalker determined to make her his own.

Can Georgia overcome her fears of commitment and accept love again? Should she say yes to Julie’s life-changing request that will affect so many lives? And what of the stalker?

REDEMPTION, FORGIVENESS AND THE KNOWLEDGE

THAT A FAMILY IS NOT BORN FROM BLOOD,

BUT FROM LOVE AND RESPECT

Chasing Georgia is available in Ebook and Paperback formats on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other fine retailers. Your local bookstore can order it in for you as well.

Hope you all enjoy the new book!

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

The question of the day! And the one my followers have been asking me of late.

My last post was March 13th. Ten days later, March 24th, my husband and I headed to Kamloops to the hospital where he was scheduled to have a stress test. That was the day that changed our lives. He had been having some issues. Mostly as an avid walker, he found himself with a tightness in his chest, no pain, no shortness of breath, just a tightness that forced him to slow his walking and distance capability.

We were forced to walk two blocks uphill to the hospital due to parking, or lack of, which caused him some distress. Once in the facility, they did an ECG, refused to do the stress test, and admitted him into emergency. One day later he was transported to Kelowna General Hospital and we found ourselves in ICU, scheduled for quadruple bypass surgery. 

I can't say enough about the nurses and doctors in the cardio general ward and ICU. They are a wonderfully knowledgeable, caring, and efficient team who not only looked after my husband, but took care of my needs, putting me up at the Cancer lodge beside the hospital with three meals a day for my two week stay, and access to my husband's room 24/7.

On April 8th he was discharged and we returned home He is recuperating as well as can be expected and if our story ended there, I would have had a lot of time to get back to my writing and my blog. 

Uh-uh! We've had our home up for sale for three years, not an unusual length of time for this remote area. Wouldn't you know it. Three days after we returned home from Kelowna, someone wanted to buy our house. Normally I would have asked for at least sixty days, but under the circumstances, I asked for ninety. However, closure depended on the buyer having access in forty-four days. Six weeks! 

After waiting three years to sell, we weren't going to pass up the opportunity and signed the papers. 

So where have I been, dear readers? Home, nursing my husband who can't do a thing to help with the move, decluttering, packing, and cleaning. And, making trips to the Island to find a new home which has exhausted my husband. Another worry in itself, since rest is an important component to his recovery.

Meanwhile, my editor sent me the final proof for Chasing Georgia, Book 2 of the Georgia Series a month ago. I have worked on it a little but cannot find the time to fit it into my chaotic life at the moment and when I do, focusing on it has been elusive. 

Overwhelmed! That's the word of the day! My life is not my own at the moment but this is only an explanation not a complaint. In two weeks we will have relocated to the BC west coast from the BC interior and life will fall into place.

My husband has been given a new lease on life. One that we don't take lightly and we have a new place to live; a cottage on the ocean with a view to inspire my writing world. 

We have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to look forward to. 

I'll be back.

Keep on keeping on writing!

WATERCOLOUR THOUGHTS

Good Morning everyone.

Today, I'm departing from talking about me and marketing my newly released, Winter's Captive (subtle? LOL) to present a different kind of project and a unique author/artist, Dennis Bourgo.

I'm excited to present his debut art book, Watercolour Thoughts, Musings in Word and Paint, Book 1.

Watercolour Thoughts presents a reflection of personal musings and a gallery of watercolours representing the distinct landscape of British Columbia and the artist's love of nature and the natural beauty of his home province.

This is the first book in an art series that showcases the artist's eclectic painting styles.

Visit the artists Facebook page HERE

Available on Amazon HERE

I'm sure some of you have noted the shared last name. Dennis Bourgo is my husband. A dedicated artist, who has been painting since the age of five, when the family doctor sent him to art school for six years, I'm very proud to see this book finally published, so that others can experience the depth and beauty of his talent.

To all the writers out there, keep on keeping on writing and to all the painters, keep on keeping on painting.
