October Newsletter PART 2 … a new book for you!
When I was prepping to write the third book in the Dig Site Mystery series, I thought I’d try to write a shorter book than usual.
(My usual is about 120,000 words.)
Yeah. Right. Sometimes I think that I sniffed too much paint as a kid.
(That would certainly help explain these character voices in my head that like to weave together multiple plotlines while telling their stories.)
It turned out that I did NOT write a shorter book. In fact, this latest in the Dig Site Mystery series is one of my longer tales, and I added some fun extras that I haven’t included before in my other books.
(Experimenting with different story elements and styles is what keeps writing exciting for me.)
You’ll see what I mean when you read Chewed Up by the Jungle.
Another book down … and a lot more to come!
Can you believe I’m almost 40-books-old in author age?
(Actually, if you count the other books I wrote prior to publishing my first, I’m over 40, but those were all practice runs.)
For a girl who didn’t want to be an archaeologist because there was too much writing involved, I seem to enjoy pecking away at a keyboard.
(Although these days, I am trying to spend more time with my family, too.)
I also enjoy drinking beverages while I write. For my birthday, I often line up various drinks to have throughout the day.
(This has become such a thing that my daughter made me a cool wooden drink carrier for Mother’s Day this year so that I can carry 4 drinks to my office at once. FOUR. Ha! I love the way her gift-making mind works.)
I’m always looking for fun new drinks
(Especially non-alcoholic ones so that I can write coherently while sipping, LOL.)
When you finish reading through this short newsletter, I’d love it if you replied and let me know some drinks you enjoy (alcoholic or not).
(I learned about several new candy mixes after the last newsletter. Thank you to ALL who wrote to me and shared your favorites.)
Okay, enough from these two voices rambling on in my head.
(Yeah! On to the exciting stuff!)
