Martha's Mirror will make its debut on August 13th
Today, I received the Author's Editions of Martha's Mirror, the sequel to Martha's Vine. We have decided to go ahead with the launch on August 13th at the TerraLosa Chapters. We will be selling the collectible Author's Editions, which have had only one press run. After that, only First Edition books will be sold.
Hope to see you at the Chapters book launch...and if you can't come...then hope to have you there in spirit.

I'm here for the party!
I am often asked where I get my ideas from...how I plan the plot twists...the characters...and the storyline.
My answer: I don't. That's right, I don't.
I went for dinner with a friend, who is also a fan of MV, last night...and she asked me about how I write. Here is what I told her:
Everyday, when I face my computer and my open Word program, it's like facing a set of barred doors, thick doors, butcher block doors, the kind of doors that would guard a castle keep. Behind those doors, I can hear people's voices, people arguing, people laughing, people having a party. And I so want to get to that party, but I must push my way into the room first.
Some days, the doors are easy to open, but some days they take everything I've got inside me to push them open so I can take part in the party. So, I push as hard as I can. Once those doors open, and I enter the party, the rest is pretty easy. I just become part of the group, listen in on conversations, and watch interactions. Like a movie in my head. Then I write as fast as I can type.
The worst is when I manage to push the doors open, but I am in my shower or driving my car. Then I go half nuts trying to memorize everything I am hearing and saying. That part makes me panic.
I made my quota again today. And that's after getting a very slow start on my day. But luckily today, the doors swung open with a single push. And that's such a good feeling.
I am close to 1/2 way through the book. I am finding Ruth's life to be totally intriguing, but the wild dogs back on the compound are giving Matthew's people a very hard time.

Do you know of someone else who has read Martha's Vine, but who isn't reading this blog? Would you please send them the link? Thanks.
Isn't she sweet...I shot this little mother fox two springs ago. She was injured, but she was so involved with her babies. I found her courage to be awe-inspiring.
