First little announcement- I just put High Pressure System Part Two in Kindle Unlimited. I wasn’t going to with the recent changes but if the first one is still there, and I have gotten plenty of downloads through the program before the change, I shouldn’t deny those readers the opportunity to read Part Two. So it is now available even though it wasn’t right when I published it. Thanks to the free days for Part One, I have some international downloads so there’s that too. Thank you if you downloaded it. My upcoming novels will not be in KU though. I will work on maintaining some of my work available on KU though.

A little history:

I’ve been writing a lot for years. 2014 started out rough though. I went into a serious lull. I struggled with my creativity when I did have time to write. I queried some but totally stopped with anything new. I’m sure I burned myself out. I actually have 4 complete novels, and 3 that were not quite finished or polished that are part of a series to one of the completed novels. That’s a lot. 3 of the complete novels were started during NaNoWriMo or Camp NaNo and I used one of the NaNos to work on scenes that went to the series. Wow, huh?

When my husband went to Alaska to work last summer, I was going to get busy on publishing, but life handed me a curve ball and then another. I had no time for months. When I finally had time to work on it, I was still floundering. It’s amazing how the start of this year has shifted in a whole new direction. The writing is coming back, the love for orchestrating words on a page is returning, and things are happening. I have a lot of stuff to get polished so new writing is on hold for a bit. Except for Part Three is still coming. Don’t worry.

I have my office back officially now. For a freshly published author without a ton of promotion, I feel my debut stories are doing okay. I have to embrace the fact that no matter how much proofreading I do, how many editors look at my work, how much time I take, I will not escape the typos. I’m still working on that. That is also why the first things I published were so short. I know myself well enough that I was going to make mistakes no matter how hard I’d strive to send out my best work.

My favorite story is halfway through edits. I have a new plan for checking for typos before publishing. Hopefully that will spare everyone my mess ups. Or at least keep them to a bare minimum.(I’m being realistic) Now I’m having to work around some time consuming bits of my real life. Darn that real life stuff. ;) But I’m really working hard to get it out before the end of this month. Looking at the calendar, I really need to get busy.

Just so you can be as excited as I am about the release of The Legend of Little Sharpshooter, this is what a reader said about it the other day:

Just a small note to tell you, how much I ABSOLUTELY loved this story!!!
Once I started it yesterday, I could hardly put it down,
except to have a sleep. Thank you for sharing you AMAZING TALENT with me!
From a true fan of yours,
