So, here I am, two books in the works, so far. One is in the process of being edited, and the other is almost at the printer.

Dragon Prophecy was originally scheduled for January, but it looks like it’ll be this month. Dark Angel was scheduled for this month, but it looks like June, or possibly July. No word yet on Dragon Legends, which is tentatively scheduled for July. I wouldn’t count on it being on time, at the moment.

In the meantime, I’m still writing. I have a completed YA manuscript that needs serious rewriting for the second half and at least two novel WIPs, N1 with 18K words written to date and N2 with 31K to date. I also have a novelette submitted to the Writers of the Future contest, which I am still qualified to enter. There’s one of the benefits of not having an advance or a print run I can be published, but not by the contest definition.

My writing life is busy, but that comes after my personal life. Personal life involves kids, husband, and horses. Somewhere I also find time for friends, but it’s unfortunate that they come after everything else. I rarely see my friends any more, except for the friends I’ve made at the stable where I board my horse. I don’t count them as friend friends but as horsey friends, because when we see each other, it involves horses. So, when I say I don’t see friends, I mean the friends I can hang around in any situation and share things with from any part of my life.

Now that I’ve rambled on, I’ll let you go back to your life. But stop by any time to see what’s new. And, until Dragon Prophecy is released, I will continue the snippets, which I hope you’re enjoying, every weekend. This weekend’s may be late, but I’ll do my best to have it posted by Sunday night.
