Not sweeping, dusting, churning butter or making soap and candles, but the 21st century kind – cleaning up this website. I realize it isn’t what I want it to be, and I promise I’m going to round up some techie person to help me organize it. Now that my debut novel is published and marketed, I can turn my attention to my website.

Speaking of my debut novel, Hatfield 1677 has won numerous awards and received some fantastic editorial and reader reviews since I last posted. I will list all of those in my next post.

As an author, the pride I take in those awards and reviews is overshadowed by the admiration I have for my characters and the magic that is storytelling. Once a book is published it truly becomes a work apart from the author, and instead belongs to the people whose lives inspired it, and to the readers who experience it.
