As a little-known author, my life consists of much more than writing. I dream of the day I can delegate some of the household chores so I can spend more time on my writing. Until then, like most women who do not work out of the home, I am responsible for our household. And, like many others, I am blessed with a good-size household – my husband, myself, my mother-in-law, and our 21-year old son. Then, there are the 3 dogs and a cat. (By the way, these all make for good writing material – I hardly have to leave home to find a new character!)
I have been blessed with success of Ravens Cove: An Alaska Iconoclast Mystery. So, I am in the process of continuing the series and have begun the rewriting process for the second book. It is not any easier than the first! I have learned not to assume anything – but old habits die hard. Thought it would be like housework – having done it before, it should be easier this time. Nope. This is more like starting a new job – the skills are honed but all the people and different – or they've changed. Still, writing is in my blood, as it were. Sometimes, I don't want to do it but I HAVE to. So, the second novel is in the works.
