The Summer Before the War is off and running
My second novel, The Summer Before the War, will be published March 22, 2016 and is now available for preorder. It has a cover too which should now be online and can be seen on my website at www.helensimonson.com. If I were not such a Luddite I would upload an image here but alas it is beyond my tech skills. My husband wants to know how long I plan to rest on my laurels and when I will be getting to work on book three. Sigh, no rest for the lazy writer...

I'm certainly looking forward to getting book recommendations and talking about writing as I face the blank pages of my second novel. Does it get any easier, I wonder?
