The Mystery Starts Here

You know that old Chinese Curse, “May you live in interesting times?” Well, if my life got any more interesting I don’t think I could stand it. Why?

In the midst of readying our house for sale so we can move, I just sold another novel! Of course I’m delighted but….OY. I’m waiting for the galleys on one, I’ve just finished preliminary edits on number two and signed a contract for number three yesterday! Whew.

You’re probably wondering where all these novels came from. The secret is to simply keep writing. When I complete a novel, I let it sit for as long as I can, and start another. When that one is in progress, or if I get stuck I go back to the first one, print it out on paper and start revising. When it’s polished to the best of my ability, I start querying. And keep writing. I sold several books at one time because I had them in inventory. Yup, just like a business because writing IS a business – never forget that. I still have two completed novels I’m shopping as well as two novellas I’m waiting for publishers to decide on. What next?
I have so many ideas I don’t know which project to start on first.

So, keep watching this blog for further updates on….An Extra Pair of Eyes, FINDER!, and Mind Echos – the story of a female house call veterinarian who communicates with animals telepathically to help a police detective solve crimes.

Back to my packing…..

I’ve been busy traveling and haven’t had time to breathe let alone read, watch TV or go to movies! I’m home now and in the midst of moving so I won’t be able to post here too often, but be assured, once the family is settled in its new location, I’ll be back posting twice a week – maybe with fun stuff like elk sightings! Yes, we are leaving sunny, expensive, overcrowded San Diego and heading for Southern Oregon – God’s country.

So, check back regularly and I’ll try to do my part and update you on our progress.
