Where I’m at…

This has been a very busy and very exciting time for me.

In July, while Tiny Island Summer was campaigning on Kindle Scout, I started another new book. I love writing. It is my hobby and my passion. But I have to set time limits on myself or I would never complete anything. My time limit was to get the first draft finished by July 31st and spend all of August editing.

And I’ve been doing just that! This month has flown by in editing. I’m so excited to share this story and will be getting it up on Wattpad by September 12th. In editing this book with a new critique partner, I think I’ve really hit a groove. This new story is a sweet romance and not writing steamy scenes has been a fun challenge! I’m encouraged to write another (already have the idea).

This month I also have been editing Tiny Island Summer and can’t wait for that book to be published. I’ll update you with the news as soon as I hear. I’m nearing the end of the marathon and have a little bit of a break scheduled for myself.

But more than anything, I can’t wait to get started on the next book. I still have two True North books to finish and this other sweet romance. My goal is to write three first drafts in three months and then take my time editing over the winter and early spring.

I’ve also started reviewing romance novels as well. I’ll be posting some of my reviews here for books that I loved and want to share.

Thanks for your support and hanging in there with me! Couldn’t do it without you!

I’m finishing up the first draft for my entry into this year’s So You Think You Can Write contest. The setting is a break from my beloved North Woods of Wisconsin. This time I’m heading south to the stunning Golden Isles of Southeast Coastal Georgia.

I’ve been lucky enough to spend a lot of time on St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island. The landscape is both tropical and familiar. The typical palm tress and luscious plants along the beaches and the sea contrast the spectacular maritime forests of oak and pine tress mingled in amidst marshes. It’s a special and unique place and I hope to do it justice!

I’m updating my entry with each chapter as they are edited. Come check it out on Wattpad and please read through some of the other entries. There are some amazing, undiscovered authors over there. And be sure to vote for your favorites!

The best part of writing romance is the community of authors who raise each other up! If you love romance, come over to Wattpad and find your next favorite book during Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write 2015.

Tidal Patterns

Elizabeth Shaw is Jekyll Island's preeminent, and only, event planner. She's 
sure she'll land the newly created role overseeing the entire island. Then 
everything will be perfect, she won’t be forced to leave, and she can get on with her life. 

Mark Edwards doesn't need any more stress. He's ready to slow down and enjoy 
his tiny beach town. His boss pushes him to apply for the new management 
position and he agrees. After a decade in catering, he’s sure he can do this job in 
his sleep. 

Neither of them counted on the other getting in the way.

Check out Tidal Patterns on Wattpad! I'm updating it with more chapters as I 
finish the edits.
