Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You

I have been working furiously on a new novel, The Breaker, which I hope to publish later this year.  Writing is an interesting, solitary career choice.  You can bounce story ideas off of others, but most of the work is done inside your own head, in which you question your character actions and the way the tale will progress.  Since the book is located in a place I have vacationed twice, I am paying attention to the geography of the area even though I already changed the location of one location, in a move to add more detail to the chapter in which the event occurs.  It is interesting to write about things empathetically when you have never experienced them in your own life.

Full Circle

After two or three years of struggling, I finally completed my novel, "Full Circle", as a novella.  The story kind of petered out around 31,000 words and writing the last few chapters to get past 40,000 took some effort on my part as I wanted the characters to find their way back to one another.  I am all about happy endings.  In the process I found a way into a new novel that will be released later this year (hopefully).  I would like to thank my friends who encouraged me as I wrote--Amanda, Marilyn, and April, who will someday be an author in her own right.  I will include the link to the eBook for now, and the paperback once it is completely revised.  I am attaching the cover as well.
