I can't believe it's halfway through spring already. I swear it feels as though this year has completely slipped away from me!
If you've been reading my blog at all, you'll know the drama my family has been experiencing, which has kept me from writing and making appearances most of this year. The good news is, that with the court decision last month, and Dale finally getting full, sole custody of his two boys, things look very settled and that there may even possibly be some smooth sailing in my future!
Believe me, no one is happier about that than me! LOL
I've been getting mail from readers asking me about sequels and I want to let you know how much that means. I adore getting mail from readers, especially through the dark times I've just been through. It's made me all the more obsessive about getting back to writing. So with fingers crossed, I'm working on my first book in nearly a year and hope to have that into my publisher by the end of this month.
After that I am making my first attempt to move into the space opera genre with a series of books I've really been working on in the background for ten years. I'm so nervous and excited about that I can't even tell you! Along with those projects, I'll also be finishing the Kiersen's Legacy series at Siren and possibly writing a sequel to one of my most asked about characters, Mike, from A Garden in the Moonlight.
Of course I have to balance all this writing with my new role of mom to four boys ranging from 8 - 18 and then there's also the little matter of wedding plans!
That's right, Dale and I have FINALLY set a date! September 26th of this year I will officially become Mrs. Blackwelder! I'm honestly, truly excited about the prospect…despite how many times I've sworn I'd never marry again. LOL I sound like one of my own heroines.
I do think the life experiences I've had over the past three years is going to shape my writing in the future. I have so many new places to write from and about, it should make for an exciting ride.
Thanks again to all my loyal readers, without you, this wouldn't be anywhere near as fun!
