Good News – All the Way Around

I am going to Ohio State University Medical Facility for 1-2 days to be administered a new drug in the LEMS Study. A travel companion is being arranged by the pharmaceutical company. Also, the program director is contacting my Neurologist to get my medical records sent to Ohio. Afterwards, I will wait a month and travel to Miami. The clinical study takes up to two weeks. This is where I am with the clinical study. No dates are known at this time. As long as they are working on something, that gives me hope for the future. It has been a long medical journey.

On the lighter note, my newest book, Saga of the Ages, has been sent to the publishers last week. Covers have been approved. Just finished editing the final Galley proof. Hope to have that finalized this coming week. I sound like a broken record, but please check Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites within the next two weeks for publication.

We are expecting rain in Atlanta today. The temperature is right at 70 degrees, with an overcast. It is partly cloudy; however, thunderstorms are expected to hit later this afternoon. The sun is peeking in and out. Our yards were filled last week with fallen trees from the previous thunderstorm. The men cutting the trees hit a cable, knocking Internet out for three days. Gee, I actually survived three days without the television and phone line too.

Other than that, I hope everyone has a good weekend. Hug your spouse and children, as well as all of your loved ones. You never know how long one has on earth. Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, grandfathers and potential fathers!

 

 

 

Just Released – New Book

Tags

Authors, Blogging, Books, Fiction, Networking, Novels, Writers

It’s here finally! Lingering Shadows has been released and is online on Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites. Working on my next book, Saga of the Ages, surrounding the American Revolutionary War. Created as a fiction, historical novel, I’m already up to the 6th chapter in writing it. Entails espionage, double-spies, romance (sex) and murder.

Lingering Shadows is my eighth book, gorgeous front cover design, 406 pages in length, full of beautiful houses from the post-Civil War Era. An historical novel, it is a creation of tragedy, patriotism and love of family. It entails the American way of life after the Civil War. A must-read for any historian or history bluff. Facts and events are true; characters are fictitious.

Available in Hardcover, Softcover and e-Book for all those Kindle lovers. I can give you a little better price than websites when I get a shipment of books. They usually come within two to three weeks (maximum).

Given Birth – Literally That Is

Today, I feel like I have given birth – literally that is, to a new book. Lingering Shadows was signed off today with final content evaluation approvals. It will be sent to printers next week. Look for it at Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites within the next two weeks. Someone bring out the champagne and make a toast!

The book is approximately 400 pages, based on actual war events and dates. An historical novel created during the post-Civil War days, American families thrive to survive. The South is defeated and building up their severely crippled economy. Read how one young American family struggles through the challenges of everyday life as shadows linger after the war.

Newest Book Coming Along

Lingering Shadows is coming along. A sequel of my latest book, Glimpses of the Past, it entails a love story, love of family and country, family tragedy and war at the same time. An historical novel created during the Civil War era, written for historians and history buffs in mind.

The manuscript is finished, but working on revisions. Too many delays during February – mother’s illness and hospitalization, family emergencies and personal illness – but I’m on the mend and writing again.

Sorry to be amiss for awhile. I miss blogging and hearing from others. Sometimes life throws things your way that you have no control over. Anyway, hope to have the manuscript submitted within two to three weeks to the publishers. Be on the lookout for it online at Amazon and Barnes & Nobles by the end of the month.

Happy Easter

With the latest publication last week, I feel like I have just given birth. I don’t mean to be funny, but it seemed that this book had more interruptions than with previous ones. I felt pushed for time, as if I had bitten off more than I could physically take. That is not good when writing should be for enjoyment, not a chore. With on-going medical treatments and tests, it was a wonder I got through at all. I think the physical fatigue is contributed to writing this book, plus the weather change. I admit there are other conditions, however, mentally my mind feels like taking a break right now from writing.

Looking through some of my genealogy, it is going take much effort and expense to locate the exact names and dates of distant relatives coming from Europe in the 1700’s. My mother supplied a good deal of information about the relatives living in this country five generations back. If I hadn’t promised my mother, I wouldn’t even consider writing an historical book of the family line. Maybe I should have listened to my aunt and wrote children’s books instead. Chuckle.

Anyway, hoping this Easter Sunday is a good one for everyone. It is suppose to rain, however, it helps with all the accumulated pollen on the ground. I will be at a book sale with my uncle tomorrow. He is a well-known artist and writer in the North Georgia area. That is where I got my interest in writing. Also, my mother is an historical researcher. Writing abilities are on both sides of the family. Peace, love and comfort to all for a Happy Easter.

I’m very excited today. The publishers called and said my new book, Shattered Dreams, is in final review before it goes to printers. That means, it is being checked for printer readiness and final review for content.

This makes me happy. I feel like I did when I published my very first book. This is my baby and I delivered it. Chuckle. I felt like I had given birth to a new creation then. Please toast with me to another book bit the dust today! 🙂

If you like lots of adventure, excitement packed with suspense and mystery, this is the novel for you – the readers! Something for everyone in mind. There is also the mysterious Egyptian pyramids, vampire-like dreams and danger. A brief history of the pyramids and the Nile River is given. Please see About the Book page for more detail on the book.

I hope everyone has a good week with lots of wonderful sunshine and beautiful clear skies. Our weather has turned a little cooler, but that is okay. Warm days are an indication of a long hot summer ahead. Many blessings as life’s journey continues!
