SPRING 2019

​Happy Spring, everyone!

Quick update-
I've been working hard on my WIP, 
 SPOOKIE MILLANE & THE NEARLY DEPARTED: FAVORS FOR THE DEAD.
I'm at 60,000 words and should be done at around 80,000.
This story has been in my head for years. It started out as two short stories
and grew from there and I hope to make it a series. 
I've had my ups and downs with this story, writer's block,
a corporate move to another state (stress level: 1000%) and a few other life adventures,
but even with months of not writing, Spookie has been close to my heart and very patient with me.

We're heading toward the end and I'm excited. My goal is to have it done, edited and out to my 
Beta Readers by June. My son is being deployed to Afghanistan this summer.
He'll be home for three weeks before he goes and I want to spend time with him. 

Then I'm going to try something new.
#Pitchwars.
The process starts in September, and it teams up accepted authors with mentors 
who help polish your MS, query letter and synopsis to send to agents and publishers.

My publisher Black Opal has been awesome, but I think it's good to always
check out other options in anything you choose to do in life. 

That leads me to my poor, neglected blog.
I love my blog and miss all the creepy stories (from guest authors), spooky folklore and urban legends,
Campfire Tales and Wine Wednesday. 
But hopefully by July, I'll be back with plenty of new posts and,
of course, getting ready for the best time of the year...
HALLOWEEN!

Have a wonderful summer. Relax, renew, spend time with family, travel
if you can and enjoy being outside with nature!
