Something sort of new coming from me on April 16th
After the last few years of feeling like I had no writing mojo, I thought for sure I would find myself in a writer's block fog during the pandemic. Instead, I've actually managed to stay focused and get some writing done. In November, I hit my NaNoWriMo goal (which will hopefully be another release for later this year, but that's another story).
I've finally got a new (well, sort of new) release coming your way!
But one thing I'd had on my writing to-do list since early 2020 was to compile all the parts of Near Enough to Hold to one volume, revise and edit it. This was the serial experiment that I started when I first began feeling like I was losing my writing mojo due to work-related stress and depression. Once all four parts were done, I'd planned on jumping head-on into expanding and revising it...but then I quit my job, and then several friends died quite unexpectedly...and then I was laid off from another job when the company was heading into bankruptcy and restructuring...and then my brother died. I lost all interest in writing for a while.
Fast forward to 2020, once the pandemic began, I started working on Near Enough to Hold, then had to set it aside again to start planning to sell my apartment and move to a new city to start a new job. It took a while, but I was finally able to return to fiction writing and Near Enough to Hold again.
Now it's finally available for preorder for Kindle, Nook and Apple Books. It will go live on April 16 and a print version will be able a few weeks later.
So what's it about? Two strangers - Nick and Keisha - meet one rainy night at a train station on the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia. He's just dropped his sister off to take the last train heading back to Boston. She's just arrived...only to find that the man she was supposed to meet there has left her stranded. Nick offers her a ride into town and his act of kindness will inevitably change the two of them forever.
The compiled version has been expanded and edited. I really loved creating Nick and Keisha's story, and I hope you'll enjoy it too.
