It's All Good

 

        Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!

        Well, it’s been quite a ride since I last posted. I’ve done everything I set out to accomplish. Wife by Surprise released last Friday (ebook & print) but I'll be taking it down....I'll explain in a later post once everything has been finalized (it's good news and a fabulous opportunity!)

        I also submitted The Marshal & Mrs. Morgan to my publisher like I said I would (before deadline, too, which makes me happy). My editor has it in her hands and will start her process shortly and that’s a good thing, too…she’s a wonderful editor!

        And I’m still hard at work on The Madam & Mr. MacLean, which is giving me fits. I have, in the course of the past week, been tempted to rip out the entire first and second chapters and start over (which is a difficult decision to make, but if it isn’t right, it isn’t right) at the very least ten times. My heroine, it seems, isn’t very sympathetic (yet!) but there are reasons why she is why she is…and that is so she’ll grow. She isn’t mean or anything like that, but she is a bit standoffish and that’s just fine. Mr. MacLean will show her that she doesn’t have to be! Actually, Mr. MacLean will show her a lot of things and that’s the whole point.

        Oh, and I had to break down and get a new washer/dryer. I didn't want to, but I didn't have a choice. The dryer has been making a horrible noise for the past month...and it was getting louder. The thing was over fifteen years old and gasping for its last breath. And, of course, once the washer realized the dryer was dying, it decided to go as well. It just didn't want to spin and when it attempted to spin...well, you've all seen the comedies where the washing machine just kinda 'walks' out of place...yeah, it was doing that so new washer/dryer combo...

        And that’s all for me…gotta get back to work! Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!
