Nearly a month has passed in 2021 and what a busy month it has been! As always, I continue to pray for each and every one of you that your new year might be blessed in abundance. I have some exciting updates this month, so let’s dive right in!
Writing Updates
It’s always an exciting time when an author can finally see all the pieces of a novel coming together and equally exciting when those details can be shared with you, the readers! Unsettled Shores travels three countries during WW1 (United States, England, and France), making it more challenging to write than its predecessor, but the end result is one I am proud to share. The latest draft will be off for beta reader review in just a few days and then I will dive into a re-read of Broken Lines, ensuring continuity between the two novels.
Ready for your first look at the back cover blurb? Here it is!
Now for the detail you’ve all been waiting for – the release date. I’m pleased to announce that I’ve been able to move my original release up from late summer or fall to … May 15, 2021! Over the next few months, I will be revealing the cover and pre-order details to newsletter subscribers first, so make sure to keep an eye out.
