Ok, so let me start by saying, the bad news first: It's not the third book in the Vivienne Taylor Series. I know, I know, but I'll share news about that series later/soon....(aka, I'm working on it)
For those of you who follow me, you know I've been working on a new project and I'm happy to announce that the manuscript is done, it's in the editing phase, and I hope to have it available by the end of summer, that's my current goal/timeline.
This new Book is unlike anything I've written before, as it takes place over the course of the main characters 30+ years, and that was quite the undertaking in and of itself. How much do you put in when spanning someone's near entire life? How much is too much? How much is too little? In writing such a tale, I learned quickly it's a fine line and delicate balance in attempting to write such a tale. I did enjoy the challenge though, writing something completely out of my wheelhouse was kind of refreshing.
It's been so long since I've dedicated myself wholeheartedly to writing, and I cannot begin to tell you just how therapeutic it has been to dive back into this creative endeavor. There was a time when I thought I just didn't have any stories left in me. There was a time when I seriously doubted I'd ever write anything worthwhile again. As a person who writes, and has done so for most of their lives, not having something to write to say to create, it feels like something inside you has died. A part of me, I think did, for a time.
I've been busy being a "grown-up", working, paying bills, doing the dishes, but I'm no longer allowing that to be all I do. I've been reading like a woman on fire and surrounding myself with other creative types who inspire me, who have quite literally fanned the flames of what has always been inside of me, and for those people, I'm forever indebted to you! You know who you are! I won't name you and make it weird! *winks*
So, just wanted to write you a little something, to let you in on the news, if you haven't heard already, A new book is on the horizon, and for those of you who've stuck by me, get ready for something brand new!
Here's a little blurb to get you interested:
Cannot wait to share this new story with you all!
All my love,
