Several people have asked me when my next book is coming out. You guys, I'm going to be honest. I have no idea. I have about five or six manuscripts on my computer right now, but all need more edits. And then I have to submit them to publishers until I find one that agrees with me that it's a good story. So, I'm working on it. It would help if my kids would nap a little better than they have been, but between one teething and one being THREE, it's been rough the last few weeks. I've just completed a third (fourth? fifth?) go-through of one of my favorite manuscripts and sent it off to yet another friend/editor. After that, I plan to start submitting it to publishers to see if I can get it in your hands. I'm also going to try to submit it to a contest this summer at a writers' retreat I'm attending. Here's hoping for other people besides family and friends to see the potential! Want to know what it's about?
Two sisters. One summer. Multiple problems. Younger sister Hope has lost her job, her car, and her boyfriend all in one day. Her well-laid plans for life have gone sideways, as has her hope in God. Older sister Faith is finally getting her dream-come-true after years of struggles and prayers. But when her mom talks her into letting Hope move in for the summer, will the stress turn her dream into a nightmare? Is her faith in God strong enough to handle everything? For two sisters who haven't gotten along in years, this summer together could be a disaster ... or it could lead them to a closer relationship with each other and God. Can they overcome all life is throwing at them? Or is this going to destroy their relationship for good? Yes, it has some romance. No, I'm not telling more right now. ;-) What do you think? Does it sound good? In the meantime, I'm going to start cleaning up another manuscript and putting down some other thoughts on "paper" as they pop in my head. Out of nowhere the other day, an idea came to me, and I've scribbled out a first chapter even though I have no idea where it's going to go from there. Much to think about. I hope all your muses are behaving better than mine and that your children all nap better than mine have been so you can achieve more! Happy April!

This is a place for me to tell you about what I'm writing, talk about the process or where some of my ideas came from, or even have other authors come in and talk about their books.
