You probably noticed I’ve been a little absent since the end of 2020. I’ve been on an extended vacation in warm weather getting to know our new grandson. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t writing. I spent part of each day working on edits for my next novel.

I plan on having Alice’s story in The Pine Lake Girls trilogy out this spring. So stayed tuned.

In the meantime, I’ll be making more frequent trips south. As cold as it is here right now, those Gulf breezes are calling my name even louder than before. And let’s face it, I can write anywhere…except, apparently, in the same room with the grandson. He can be sound asleep and the minute he hears gently typing on my keyboard, he wakes right up and insists on Grandma paying more attention to him. And he already knows I can’t say no to him. His big blue eyes steal my soul, and his smile melts my heart. Never mind what his tears do to me.

And he knows it!

So, I’ll be rethinking how I can best use my writing time. After all, writing the first book in a trilogy means I have to write books 2 and 3, as well.
