It's been a long time since I posted anything, but you must forgive me since I've been busy researching and writing Kendall O'Dell's 5th adventure. I wish I could write my books faster, but I can't. I am a slow and methodical writer and because all my mystery novels are based on actual events, it takes time to ferret out the correct facts in order to write a believable, entertaining story. Because the subject matter is so timely, I have had to readjust the plot line several times to update the material as events keep changing. So, bear with me. My goal is to finish the first draft by the end of this year and if I could just expand the number of hours in each day, I could probably finish it sooner. I estimate that I am just about at the halfway point. Thank you, all my devoted fans, for your continuing patience!!
