Hello friends! Some of you will remember that I originally started this blog to talk about my writing. That plan derailed since there hasn't been much going on with it for the last several years. Every now and then I share a snippet of a manuscript but not much more. Today that has changed!
For the last couple of months there has been a lot of work going on in the background. And to give credit where credit is due I have to tell you who's been doing all that work. First, my dad, he's the one that way back when finally convinced me to consider publishing. He's also the one who brainstorms and bounces around ideas with me. And he has done a ton of background work to get us here. Second, my amazing mom has taken on the role of agent/assistant and a few other titles lately. She's been working behind the scenes, with my blessing, to make contacts, do research and move this project forward. She has been amazing and I would never be able to share this post without the effort she has put in.
And on that note I'm pleased to announce that we are now just a few months (maybe less) away from publishing my very first novel!!!
The manuscript is off to the editor's for the (hopefully) final time. The final cover art was just approved this morning. The dedication and author's notes have been added. The plot holes have been filled and we are getting super duper to close to setting a release date! I can't wait for all of you to get to read this story that so much love and effort has been poured into. Sadly that day isn't today. But I do want to share a little bit about the book with you all today.
Here's the book's description that will eventually show up on the back cover.
Her trip to visit relatives was supposed to help her family heal, instead it led to a secret marriage contract and no escape.
Still grieving from her mother's recent death Karrine Sandor takes her little sister on a trip to Yagos, the country where they were born. Once there she learns about a secret marriage contract that states she will have to marry a stranger or lose guardianship of her sister.
Steffan Dalton has always known he would marry Karrine
one day. He'd never imagined that she wasn't aware of their marriage contract
too. Now he finds himself with a fiancée who wants nothing to do with him and a
difficult teenage charge.
Can these two strangers ever have any chance of a happy
marriage? Or will their differences tear them apart? Will God work a miracle
or will their own stubbornness keep them from discovering His best plan
for their lives?
