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.

Run
I won't lie to you--for the past to years or so, my ability to write, and to create, has been severely diminished. That's the primary reason blog posts, as well as new novels, have become so infrequent. I even have another novel I began at least as far back as 2014 that remains uncompleted; I plan to finish it eventually, but lately I just can't find the inspiration. The good news, however, is that I have managed to complete a shorter novel, entitled Run, which is available now in paperback, and will be available next week as an eBook. It details the relationship between Sienna Thorpe, a successful architect who loves her job but has spent her entire life running from love, intimacy, and the potential for lasting happiness. Her life is changed forever when she meets Harmon Brent, a transplant from Alabama who has come to Kentucky to put down roots. Harm is a man with a great head for business--his sporting goods stores have spread across the country and even to foreign countries, but he's never had much luck in his personal life. I attempted to write a longer novel than my last one, but only succeeded in reaching 50,000 words. The purchase link as well as the cover are featured below. As always, I welcome comments, feedback, and suggestions.

Do You Remember
I got kind of depressed by the lack of a project so I
started writing another book. So far, so
good. I’m also still in the process of
editing the third book so it’s going to take a little extra time to get it on
sale. Anyway, the leaves are already
falling and the weather is doing that hybrid summer-autumn thing that leads to
a sweater in the morning and shorts in the afternoon. Gotta love Kentucky weather.
