For me, though, this summer has been an opportunity. It has been a chance to accomplish a lot while others relax and play.
Sea Spray tops the list of projects completed. The novel, the pivotal third book in the Time Box series, is now available in audio.
Also this past month, I began writing Duties and Dreams, the third and final book in the Second Chance series. Set mostly in Southern California, Washington state, and France in 1918, the novel will follow Paul Carpenter, Andy Lee, and their families through World War I, the Spanish flu, and a medical crisis that will finally open many previously closed doors. I am currently nineteen chapters and 27,000 words into the novel and hope to publish it by the end of the year.
I also attended to marketing, the bane of every writer, even though summer is notoriously slow for sales. Two major promotions are on tap. BookBub will feature The Mirror, book five in the Northwest Passage series, for the first time in five years on August 20. EReader News Today will run The Fountain as its Book of the Day on September 15.
I hope readers will take advantage of both offers. I remain very grateful to those who have expressed their support in the past.
