More and More Changes

Even in the midst of coming down with the flu and going to a wedding in freezing temperatures, it’s been a really productive month for me. It was ironic to be working on the final chapters of The Harrisons, which are about the wedding of one of the sisters, just before going to an actual wedding of one of my sisters. I hadn’t thought when I wrote that conclusion 8 years ago that it would come full circle in that exact way as the book was finally being published. The book wedding was a touch more traditional than the one in real life—actually, stock-photo by comparison to toughing it at a Renaissance Faire during a rare cold snap on the exact day of the wedding. Lol

• During all that I somehow finished The Harrisons, a completed, tidied draft that should be published by the end of the month. I’m not sure how I did it, but I’m so glad to look into the list of book files and see it in such good order after weeks of pounding at it.
• I also brought back the print of Jurant (yes, there was a long-ago Jurant paperback!) with a new cover that goes with the ebook. There’s a new page for it on the website. Jurant has a slight tie-in to Ryan and Essie, which I haven’t discussed much yet.​
• Bellevere House page is back up and when I have time I plan to give the book a mild run-through. In addition to doing a contemporary remake, I want to go back into the vintage book and trim some of the Christian-market content. Not the conclusion with Myrtle and Horace, which is crucial to the story, but Faye’s constant thoughts about and references to God when interacting with other people. I want to market this book to a wider audience.
• Victoria isn’t going to disappear. I’d like to publish it separately, especially since I still have an old print version lurking in CreateSpace. Not sure how I’m going to put that together yet, since this story is kind of hard to sort.

And there will be more updates.
