As promised in my last post, here is the poll where you, the reader, get to tell me, the writer, what to write next. Just take a look at the book descriptions below and vote for the novel you’re most excited to read.  On January 20, 2019, I’ll see which one has the most votes and start writing!  And to give me incentive to ignore those pesky distractions in my life, I’ll even give bi-weekly excerpts via my newsletter to make sure I’m staying on track. So if you haven’t signed up to my Readers List yet, what are you waiting for? Just click Here (or on the form to your right) to get the excerpts!  Now on to casting your vote:
