My next project is a dual timeline novel about a pilot's daring race across the Pacific in the golden age of aviation–and the woman who uncovers her buried history sixty years later and fights to set the record straight. Her Most Perilous Flight (the title will change) was inspired by the infamous Dole Air Derby, an incredible story of courage and heartbreak. I am about to start on edits and the book should release early next year. I can't wait!(less)

Remember, writing a novel is a long-term project, one that will take months or years to complete and you need to be fully invested.
