I spoke too soon about a cover reveal and release date in my last post. Although the revisions I’m currently making to Book 2 aren’t extensive, they have required a little more time than planned. The plot isn’t changing, but I’m adding some details and tightening some areas. At this point in the process, any…

Dog—and Cat—Days of Summer
I still don’t have an exact release date for Secrets of Edgemont Book 2, but it remains on track for September—probably closer to the middle or end of the month. In the meantime, I’ll be revealing the cover in the next couple of weeks! It’s now been three months since the injury to the nerve…
Plotting and Plodding
As I write this, Book 2 in my Secrets of Edgemont series is with my copy editor and beta readers. After it goes through another round of edits and proofreading, it should be ready to come out in September! I’ll have a more exact release date next month. In the meantime, while it’s being copy…
But Wait, There’s More!
When I wrote my blog post last month, I thought I had only one more chapter to write in Book 2 of my Edgemont series. My characters had other plans. I kept trying to tie up their story and cram it into a specific space, and they weren’t having it. So I listened to them,…
One Chapter to Go!
Among the many things that conspired to derail my publishing plans—or any plans—this year, a case of paresthesia in my mouth was the most recent. This means that one side of my mouth and tongue has remained numb for more than two weeks after a routine dental procedure! (Yes, this is a thing.) I regain…
Out Like a Lion
I was just kidding when, in my last post, I asked if March would go out like a lion this year since it came in like a lamb—the opposite of the old saying. But it did indeed go out with a loud roar, at least around these parts, with high winds, severe storms, and power…
Ideas Are the Easy Part
As far as the weather goes, March came in like a lamb this year around here. Does that mean it will go out like a lion? While March does whatever it’s going to do, I’m still working on the second book in the Edgemont series, and I’m so close to finishing it! Many people seem…
Where Does the Time Go?
Last month I wrote that I was off and running with my writing goals for 2022. Somewhere along the way that run turned into more of a stroll. I’m a little closer to finishing Book 2 in the Edgemont series, but it’s not ready for the editing process yet, as I had hoped. So how…
Happy New Year!
I’m off and running with my writing goals for 2022. First and foremost, I’m working on finishing up writing Book 2 in the Secrets of Edgemont series. Then later this month it will move on to the editing and proofing process to get it ready for a late-spring release. I’m also sprucing up a short…
