I am working toward releasing at least three new novels this year, Swimming Lessons among them. I learned how to swim last year, a major feat after hearing throughout my life that I would drown if I went into the water. That ingrained fear was a blockade I had begun to think I'd never get by. Finally, with a move to Florida and a small swimming pool, I learned. And I love it! Many of the observations the main character has while swimming were my own. Looking forward to getting it out there. It will benefit a charity that rescues and rehabilitates wildlife (primarily birds).
