Could it possibly be Spring?

How can it be spring already?  But look at the photo above -- I took it on my morning walk.  You can see the faint remnants of snow on the ski trails and the plowed corn fields.  But what you can't experience is the smell... whoa... of the manure spread on the field yesterday.  Yup, it sure is spring.

Finally, we seem to be emerging from the pandemic with everyone receiving a vaccine - cases have slowed and death counts are lessening.  I mourn those we have lost to it... it is unforgiving.  

I've tried to be productive during these 18 months, but it wasn't easy.  I had "Till Death Do We Part" published last November and concentrated on another totally new manuscript which moved so quickly that I'm now in my own final editing!  I had planned on returning to my half finished new Oyster Point Mystery when I hit a stopping point, but that stop weirdly never happened and I'm now hoping for a summer release for this new book.  Then I'll return to Jack and Jamie... this new story is full of twists, turns and a reemergence of a haunting history for both of them.

I still haven't a title for this new book.  Some times I have a title before I even begin to write but not this time.  Oh well, it'll come to me.  I like the story... a strong woman who leaves one bad situation and ends up in a very different confusing situation.  I can't really tell you much more but I loved writing it and hope you'll love reading it.  The main characters can go on to other books.

 I'll make this a short blog because I really need to return to my editing.  Life has been busy but good busy for a change.  

Keep on writing and keep a lookout for one or maybe two of my new books this year.

Till,
