It was a long summer that became too short in a hurry. I could feel the tension. I knew something big had to happen. I've written three full-length novels in the past year and have excellent reviews for all. Now, it's production and promotion time and it has to be a full-time job. So, after over four years with a part-time day job (and 30 years in self-employed business)I am quitting the day job and pursuing my passion and dream of being a novelist... full time.

It is so liberating to think that I can wake up and look forward to a day full of my books, whether writing, editing, producing or promoting. They are like friends I want to visit and introduce to all my other friends. So, come to my party! Watch for Winds of Change, New Beginnings and Road to Tomorrow in the giveaways over the next few months. You'll have a ball!

Two novels out, the third in final editing and proofreading. Now the hard part begins: marketing the novels in a way that will attract readers without being in your face. I'm hoping that the past year of building friendships and relationships through social media will support my promotional networking. That and some more reviews. I've had enough confirmations by knowledgeable readers and reviewers to know the stories are strong. One told me "you're mastering your craft at an alarming rate!" Got a great chuckle from that. So, time to find my readers!! Helloooo!
