Life has been beyond crazy lately, so I thought I would give you guys an update. Some of my release dates are going to be later than I originally thought they would be, mostly because life gets in the way.
In the last few months, we have moved into a new home and found out we are expecting a new baby! Yay! (This will be #3 and our final kiddo).
Pregnancy combined with summer break and the existing kids means I'm spending a significant amount of my time alternating between trying to keep the kids from tearing the house down to the foundation and barfing into whatever sink/toilet/bush is handy. I'm one of those gals who barfs the entire 10 months, if you're wondering.
With all that said, I won't release a book unless I feel like its awesome and some have needed more tweaking than others.
Sweatin' Like A Sinner In Church will be the next to release. I originally thought I'd be able to release it this spring, but I just wasn't happy with my final version. Sure, it was a completed manuscript, but it just didn't do it for me.
I read every single one of my books from cover to cover as a READER before I release them. If I can't go out onto my porch with the book and a glass of sweet tea and lose myself in story, then I don't release it. If I keep getting distracted, putting the book down and otherwise am not inclined to finish it, then I go back to the drawing board. What I had thought was the finished version of Sweatin' got taken back to the drawing board, gutted and revised. I think you guys will enjoy the new version a whole heck of a lot more than you would have liked the original.
As for If Pigs Could Fly, it's still in progress and it will bring a LOT of changes for our Possum Creek crew. I'd originally hoped for a July release, but that's not happening. I'm now expecting to release this fall. I promise it will be well worth the wait. I'm excited about this one. :)
If you're waiting for Jackal's Bite (Harvest Moon #2), it will be releasing after the two I just named above. I'm not giving an official release date right this moment, as a lot of the details for that release will depend on how functional I am during my last trimester of pregnancy and how cooperative the newborn is. If you've ever had a newborn, you may know the answer to that tends to be 'not very'. No worries though, your book will be available before you know it.
Thanks for listening, your support and your patience.
You guys are the best.
