The sequel to my first novel, Flames in the Midst, has been a long time coming. I am nearing the 70% complete mark on my rough draft of Dreams in the Midst, and it should be coming to a close soon. I don't want to rush, but it is taking much longer than I would like. I guess being Mom to children in 3rd, 6th, and 12th grade and having a full-time job in a Middle School does take a little bit of my time. (But come on, there are 36 hours in a day, right?)
Still, lately I have been engrossed in some self-indulgent, self-reflecting. I am my best self when I am writing (and exercising...something about healthy living, although watching what I eat does not come into play). I am working out a plan to make both of these things (writing and exercising, not healthy eating) a part of my daily routine. I'll give you an update when I am up and running with the plan.
While I wait for the plan to transpire, here is to hoping that having a cover ready to go will propel my actual writing (and then editing) forward. I realistically hope to have a release of Book 2 in the Jade Hale Series by June. (Maybe sooner...cross your fingers, but don't hold your breath...it's an awful long time to go without breathing!)
In the meantime, thanks a million to Mike (owner and guru of Musion Creative, and long time friend, practically sibling). You have made an amazing cover to follow the first, and I can't wait to see what the third will look like (Yes, I am already plotting and planning the skeleton of a third book...no time to flesh it out yet, I'm still writing the 2nd one, after all!).
