Took my Grands to a local pumpkin patch this week. What fun! They got a dose of farm life, petting horses and goats and marveling at the size of real chickens! They got to sit on tractors and play cornhole before picking out their pumpkins.
We stopped at Rita’s Italian Ice & Custard for a frozen treat on the way home. My car is a little (a lot) dirty but their smiles were worth it. As the frog says, “time’s fun when you’re having flies!” Well, I haven’t actually been eating flies, but times are good. I’ve never been in the position of having too many books to get published! Not a bad problem to have, right?
There is a downside, however. As an indie publisher, I have a lot of work to do to get these books into your physical or virtual hands. That means I have little – well, let’s be honest – no time to write anything new. The stories are there, circling around my head like jets waiting to land at LAX. Hopefully, the runways will clear soon.
So, the production schedule, for those of you waiting with bated breath, has THE GYPSY IN ME out before Christmas. Along with it, the first two books in the STARCROSSED trilogy will re-release with brand new covers. Many thanks to LINDA BOULANGER of TELL-TALE COVERS and MONICA DUBINSKY of ALL KINDS OF COVERS for these beauties! The threesome will be available as a box set for you soap-opera-novel lovers, date TBD.
Coming in 2022 will be the REDMOND FAMILY SECRETS trilogy! We are deep into the edits on these books about three adult siblings seeking the identities of their birth parents. Love always enters the picture, muddying their paths to resolution with the past. Stay tuned.
Going into first round of edits is THE DOG FIXER NEXT DOOR, a light-hearted romance between a lonely veterinarian and an out-of-work single mom. And yes, they are small town, next-door-neighbors.
As for the circling jets… AMOROSO PASS has an outline and will eventually become Book 4 of the BEACON POINT ROMANCES. A tiny, Northern California lighthouse inspires this tale of a Nashville-bound singer and a tired-of-Hollywood record producer. And if DOG FIXER goes well, we have a CAKE MIXER in the holding pattern as well.
That’s my update!
I hope you are enjoying our transition into fall after a very dry and hot summer here in the Pacific Southwest. I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving and all the December holidays with a deep gratitude this year! Remember to always look for the good around you. You’d be surprised how much there still is if you open yourself to it.
Best,
Pam
