B.L. Cagle Yes… we are working on it as we speak, and the audiobook for book 2 had to be re-recorded and that’s also in the works.
We have had a lot of unexpected things happen, so we are a bit behind.
We are working to get this out… I promise.
Thank you,
BL

B.L. Cagle I would like to know of the Ouija board that we found in a closet in the house we moved into back in 98 was used or not, and if so how and why? Weird that strange things happen on and off, and with the recurring nightmares that I turned into a story. Wicked wierd.
B.L. Cagle If (big IF) all goes to plan, being that I do work a full-time day job in the medical field, hopefully by June or July. Fingers crossed.
B.L. Cagle I would have to go to New Orleans and visit the places where my characters live and the places they frequented... it’s on my list of things to do...
I also want to go to Scotland and meet some amazing authors that have become my extended family... these ladies are amazing.
B.L. Cagle How can you wake up from a nightmare, if you aren't even asleep?
But dreams aren't real... or are they?

B.L. Cagle I use music as inspiration.. it’s amazing what you can come up with listening to certain songs and the lyrics. I also have my sister, and a great group of authors I bounce ideas off of.. they are all such a big help. I can’t thank them enough for it.
B.L. Cagle Not only do I get to create a world and characters I love.. I give them life and meaning. Because of me, they now exist. I make them real and I can be immersed into their world. That’s how I want my readers to feel. These characters are a part of me.... they are real to me, and I want them to feel real to my readers, be able to see their world and feel like they are a part of it.
B.L. Cagle Do all the research you can possibly think of.. just writing a book is only the beginning.. there’s so much more to it. Get in touch with authors.. educate yourself on the difference in editors, proofreaders, genres, social media, and marketing. I learn something new everyday. It’s a never ending process.
B.L. Cagle I’m finishing polishing up book 1 of the Dreams Trilogy while editing book 2 and still writing book 3... while also writing a Novella, a character backstory to book one that will be available shortly after the release of the 1st book. I also have in the works a YA novel that I did for my teen daughter.. (she loves wolves) but right now my focus is on book 1 and promoting its release on March 30, 2021.
B.L. Cagle My sweet Granny wrote poems and songs & I started writing poems too.. I started writing short stories and after winning a school
writing contest in the 4th grade.. it was something I considered.. but never did, only writing for family. Now.. I can thank my sister for all her help with this amazing journey and help her with her own novel soon.
B.L. Cagle This story is based on actual recurring dreams I was having. I started writing them down and after talking to my sister about it, she knew I always wanted to get back into writing, so she suggested I turn it into a novel. Little did I know it would turn into a trilogy and get picked up by a publisher.
