June 2021
Hello!
I can’t believe it’s June already!
June, July, and August always bring back childhood memories and of how me and my siblings stayed outside until it got dark. And of ice cream!
This is a photo from when I was 6 years old. I guess I loved ice cream then as much as I do nowadays. And I also remember that my brother got a larger one than my sister and I, because he went on a long hike with our dad while my sister and I stayed with our mom and went to the pool.
What’s your favorite childhood memory? Share them in the comments, we’d love to read about them.
WE HAVE A WINNER!
TURN BACK TIME won the National Indie Excellence Award in the category “Relationships.”
Here’s the email I received from NIEA:
CONGRATULATIONS! It is our great pleasure to inform you that you are a Winner in the 15th Annual National Indie Excellence® Awards. Your book embodies the standards of excellence that this award was created to celebrate. We salute your talents and our jurors truly respect each of the final works that are honored this year.
For the past six months, I worked on the first book in a new series, which will release in 2022.
A few days ago, I wrote two magic words: The End.
SHE’S LIKE THE WIND switches between present day and the 1960s, where the story follows a woman who is trying to find herself in a time of worldwide upheaval. It was (still is) an interesting project to work on, because growing up as a child in Germany in the 60s is different than writing about a young woman in the 60s in America.
Here’s the working blurb.
As you all know, TIME IS ETERNITY, book 3 in the Full Circle Series, releases on 9/16/21. (Don’t you love the three covers together?)
I’ve set aside June for final edits and after that the manuscript will go to my interior designer and formatter.
Then I’ll spend the summer revising TIME WILL TELL, book 4 in the Full Circle Series, for an anticipated spring 2022 release.
