It's been a while since I've been on here, basically because I've been writing my fingers to the bone! Well, not really to the bone, but suffice it to say that I think the strongest muscles in my body are in my hands.

Anyway, all winter long, I've been either at my kitchen table or upstairs in my office (where I overlook the neighborhood like a war lord, especially when the kids across the street -- ages 5 and 3 -- are out on their bikes. I worry that someone isn't going to see them dashing out between parked vehicles). Yes, I've been writing. And writing. AND writing. and WRITING.

I finished an idea/proposal for a new nonfiction book before Christmas and shortly before the New Year, I got the green light from my publisher. The new book is nonfiction entitled You Are the Divine Feminine and is about the goddesses and spirits who've been part of all religious philosophies and how we, human females, possess every bit of the magic those divine feminine people do.

The book is slated for the holiday season in 2019, so that means I have to finish writing it and work on it with my editor before the end of this year in order for the production company to "build it" for the following year. I think it's going to be a beautiful book!

I've also sent in two other projects to my publisher: a new novel, entitled The Art of Rivers, the story of an interracial family whose love for each other keeps them glued together even throughout the most dramatic moments in civil rights history.

And an essay collection entitled At the Heart of it All, the pieces centered on travel and specifically looking at how different it is to travel as a woman alone.

Keep your fingers crossed for me! I've been working hard, and I'm hoping that these next projects will be available for readers in the upcoming years!

Stay tuned!
Big hugs to all of you,
Dawn
