I am thrilled to announce that the publication date for
my latest novel has been moved up from the fall of 2015 to July 21, 2015!
Since before Christmas, I’ve been in revision mode, working
long hours and so absorbed that there have been days when I scarcely registered
the sweep of the sun. I would look up and notice it was dark. The work has been
intense, but I love it. There’s something magical to me in the editing process
especially when you have expert guidance, which I do in my lovely editor, Tara
Parsons. With the input from her lighting my imagination, the story has taken on added
nuance and layering. Everything about the characters, pacing and plot has become fuller and richer until the story is real to me. I often dream about the
characters or find myself wondering if they’re okay now, and on the heels of
such a thought, I’ll be startled to remember these folks are figments of my imagination.
And that’s the second bit of good news. The revision is done!
Anyway, after being in the tunnel so to speak with this
project all this time, I was elated to learn how quickly it will be out in the
world. Just in time to slip into your beach tote. I’ve said it before and can’t
help saying it again that I can’t wait to share this book with you!
