Submitted another novel!

 

Treacherous Waters... She was gorgeous, young, fearless and unbeknownst to most, she was the pirate called the "Black Witch"; she also was the ancestor of Sabrina Harcourt-Stone, a wealthy heiress in the shipping industry who knew virtually nothing about this ancestor until...

I have been working on this novel for months and FINALLY, I submitted it to  my publisher on July 3rd. 

I'm not one to write about pirates and scoundrels but I wrote you last time that at my April Book Club, the group was very interested in the story I was really just fooling around with.  Well, in the end, I decided to write it. But, I ended up with two stories developing at the same time... the 1600s love story and the today's ancestor who becomes roped into working with an FBI agent on a smuggling and money laundry scheme in the Bahamas. I loved the characters - Sabrina and Nick - and when I came to the point where I normally type THE END - I added "Or is it?"  I'm going to do some research on their next case together... I have an expert who I'm hoping will spend some time with me explaining how he works.  That's about all I can say now until I formulate the story a bit more.

I'm also writing the next chapter of Jack and Jamie's life, the Oyster Point Mysteries. I've developed a few pieces of the story so far but still haven't found a cold case that Jamie could sink her teeth in. So - more work in that area.

I wish you a wonderful 4th of July weekend! May we all remember how much this freedom has cost.

Keep writing and I'll try to be back soon!

Till...
