Happy February! This month finds our house quiet again. We loved every minute of having the kids home and it was a busy six weeks, capped off with an unexpected surgery for Brilliant Daughter. No worries though – she is already back at school and feeling much better overall after more than a year of gallbladder attacks.
So with just the cats, dog, and Brilliant Husband around, I’m settling back into the groove of my writing routine at last. That routine is a primary source of my 2015 theme word “Joy” and I don’t even feel too guilty about it. Some routines are essential for our peace of mind and success.
While my daughter was home, she shared a sourdough starter with me and I’ve been having fun learning and fine tuning the process. After everything that’s happened since my back injury baking bread isn’t something I thought I’d ever do, but I’m loving it and working it into my weekly routine.
When I started writing novels seriously almost 15 years ago, I never imagined my productivity and desire for stories would look like this. I’ve been blessed to find great friends and an awesome mentor and co-writer in Debra Webb along the way.
Have you discovered our most recent books? Debra Webb and I are having such fun with our Dangerous Protectors trilogy. Too Far Gone(Dangerous Protectors #2 came out on January 22nd), Harlequin Intrigue released Heart of a Hero second in the Specialists: Heroes Next Door series on Feburary 1st, and Nothing to Lose (Dangerous Protectors trilogy #3 is available for preorder now- with a February 27th release date.
We are so grateful to all the beta-readers, proofers, fans, and reviewers who are embracing these stories with such enthusiasm!
Live the adventure!
