My house is quiet once again. Alas, all my people have gone back north, which means that in the silence, my characters have started to chatter, getting ready to throw themselves out of my brain/heart and onto the page.
I am not unaware of how blessed I am to have this job—I get to make up awesome people,
It’s not Tuesday.
You probably know this.
However, I woke up today and thought…What? I missed ANOTHER Tuesday? (In my defense, I did manage to hit the last two Tuesdays, but things are falling apart quickly without my assistant! She comes back in two weeks, so we’re hangin’ on by our tootsies,
Just dropping a quick post today—I’m spending time with five brilliant authors this week whom I affectionately call “The Minds.” It’s a group of super brilliant women. (I’m still trying to figure out why I’m included… Oh, wait, I remember now. It’s because I’m in Florida and I feed them. Just kidding—they cook too! )
Anyway,
I’m coming to you today from sunny Arizona! It’s a little bit crazy but I’m wearing sandals again. I clearly need a pedicure.
I’m hanging out with my business partner and good friend Lindsay Harrel. If you haven’t read her books, check out her website here. Right now, we’re planning all the fun things that we’re going to do over at Sunrise Publishing next year.
This is Susie’s assistant (and you caught me—daughter) here! Susie got lost in the writing cave and has somehow pulled others in with her!
I’m just kidding, that is her writing mastermind group and they are fabulous! We owe a lot of Susie’s brilliance to the honing of her skills with this wonderful group of women.
Hello from the beach!
This is my sweet daughter (who is also an author, BTW – find her books here and on Kindle Unlimited) a couple weeks ago on the beach. It’s spring break here, and the beaches are now packed…which is a great time to work on a novel!
I’m at it again.
Spent this week plotting a new book. I’m currently working on IRIS, book 4 in the Minnesota Marshalls series, and oh, this is a fun one. The little hint I’ll give you is that I’m using this book for research…
Currently, the story looks like this:
Which then translates to this:
But I’m getting WAY ahead of myself because next up is book #2 in the series – JONAS.
So, first, thank you for all the sweet reviews about Fraser! He’s quietly been climbing the charts while you’ve been leaving kind reviews, and I’m grateful.
So, I’m just back from a fun writing retreat with 8 authors and my business partner for a publishing company I run (Sunrise Publishing) – and we got to chatting about book themes,
I’m still holed up in my writing cave, but I’m coming up for a quick breath to say “Wow! You guys are really excited about the Minnesota Marshalls Series!”
GOOD! Because I am too! That’s why I’ve been head down, fingers clicking away day and night, to finish the next book in the series.
Happy New Year! Okay, I’m twenty days in, I know, but I’ve been nose down into a project (I call it my writing cave) and am just coming up for air.
And it’s been a fun project…so fun that it sort of swept me away for most of November and December.
