After a relaxing winter break, I am ready to begin the third story in the Inlet Beach Novels. There’s another story to that’s waiting to be told, and it’s a good one. Different, from The Inheritance and A Light In The Window, because this one starts in Charleston, SC.

Eudora Pickney-Rutledge is very satisfied with the way she has managed her family’s legacy for the past five decades, thank you very much.  She opens her home and garden twice a year to tourists who are eager to know about her ancestors and how they helped shape the history of Charleston.  She sits on the board of three Very Important Committees. She dresses for dinner, and knows exactly how she will bestow her knowledge to the next generation.  Family history and deportment are the Most Important Thing.

Joanna Rutledge is the newest member of the Rutledge family. Eudora will ignore the unpleasant elopement because she sees the value of getting off on the right foot. Joanna is from away, after all, and can’t be expected to understand customs as if she were a native. Joanna is the one who will protect the family’s legacy after Eudora.

But what if Joanna doesn’t want to?

The working title of the book is The Legacy starts in Charleston, but moves to Inlet Beach, and what happens in between will be an amazing story.

If you want to know more, please sign up for my newsletter.  I’ll be sending character sketches, scene descriptions, and probably a contest or two before The Legacy is released in the fall.

My writing buddy is waiting, and my story is waiting.  I’ve got to get back to work now.  Thank you for supporting the Inlet Beach Novels and I hope you enjoy the newest one.

In the meantime, you can find me on Facebook or leave a comment here.  I answer every one.
