END OF MONTH PROGRESS!

Now that I have finished my trilogy there is much more to do.

I am working on my new Children's Book, Farlie A Mason Bee Meets Buzby A Honey Bee, and the work is going really well.  I have made a minor change to the front cover.  I wasn't happy with the Honey Bee picture so changed it.  I will provide a new view below.

First I want you to see one of the other pictures from inside of the book.  This one is called Meeting at the Bridge.  You can write your comments in the section at the bottom of the post.


Here is the picture of the new complete cover:

I have also started a couple of new novels that will not be completed until sometime in  2021.
I will update more about those in the coming months.  I hope you all have had a chance to check out all three of my Windy Haven Trilogy books.

I will be back again around the middle of June with an update and hopefully a publish date for the Children's Book mentioned above.

ALMOST THERE!

Second Edit went well.  I am now going through a line edit and cleaning up all the minor errors, like words not spelled correctly but still a real word, just not the one it should be.

I should have all the documents up and ready for release day by May 5th.  I am so happy to finish book 3 so that I can promote all three together and my readers can follow the entire story.

I have worked a little on the Children's Book about the bees and it will get more time soon.  As I am not able to attend any classes in person, I have been doing a lot of things on line.  Webinars, YouTube instructions and just listening to things to stay in touch with writing.

Once a week our writing group does a 20 minute prompt session and then share the writing.  It helps keep us together even though we are all in different homes.  One day we will be able to resume out monthly meetings in person and that will be a joy.

Remember the short prompt story I posted a while back.  Well I have been adding to it and think it may turn out to end up as a complete novel about the history of those tunnels under the house.  More later.

Here is a happy picture to get you through these tough times.  This is the emergence of the Cherry Blossoms from a nearby tree.  Nature has stayed on track and one day we will beat this and get back to our lives when it is safe.

SEE YOU ALL SOON WITH THE DETAILS FOR MY BOOK RELEASE ON MAY 15, 2020.
