When Will Legacy of Lies Be Ready?
Yeah... about that... This isn't the answer you want, but I promise I'm working on it.
​
Legacy of Lies was supposed to be drafted by the end of 2023. Unfortunately, as a mother of two young children and an author who lives with a disability, life had other plans. I've been compiling the draft, but it isn't ready yet. Corinne, for whatever reason, isn't speaking to me as clearly as she needs to in order for me to complete the novel. I refuse to put out something I'm not proud of, so I've decided to take my time.
In the meanwhile, I wrote another book. Maybe Wicked Little Rabbit will hold you over? I'm sorry for the delay, and I'll figure it out soon. Hopefully, it will be better for the wait.
About The Author
When did you realize you wanted to be an author?
I knew I wanted to write stories as early as middle school. At the time, I attended a local library group for teens called the Live Poets' Society. Mike, the man who ran the group, convinced me that my stories were worth writing. I probably would have given up without guidance from adults like him. My English and History teachers were also influential. I'm really thankful for them.
What are your hobbies outside of writing?
Outside of writing, I am an avid reader and I also enjoy making art. In particular, I like to do amateur paintings. I used to draw, but my Multiple Sclerosis has made the practice more difficult. My hands don't like to cooperate. My husband and I play D&D, and I spend a lot of time with my children.
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
My favorite parts of the writing process are writing descriptive scenes and witty banter. My least favorite part is the last few chapters before the end. By that point, my brain is convinced I've already written the book and wants to move on to the next project.
