I need to keep myself honest, so I’ve decided to post weekly about what I’m working on. Perhaps it will help keep me motivated to keep going.

The Stand In was a story that I actually started about 4 years ago as a short story. I knew that I wanted to expand it, but it was going to take some time. I picked it up here and there, set deadlines, lined up edits, covers, etc., and then pushed it all back.

Now that it’s finished, the writing bug is in full force. If you haven’t read the story yet, there will be no spoilers here. But I. can share this…Lou is getting is own story. I am already in love with it because I loved Lou from the moment he appeared in the book. He is pieces of 4 of the wonderful men in my life and that makes him even more special. And his wife Ginnie, she is a combination of 3 very special women in my life.

No, it’s not a true story – nor really based on one, but inspiration has been drawn from real events.

This book doesn’t have a title right now – but as soon as it does, I will be sharing. For now, I’ll share a picture of this cutie, because…why not?
