Coming Soon . . .

I am so pleased to write those words about my latest novel. After spending hours upon hours researching agents, narrowing my search down to those who seemed like a good fit, crafting individualized query letters specific to a particular agent’s strict guidelines, I realized the futility of finding an agent willing to take on a sequel to a self-published novel. I get it. Unless the first one has sold thousands of copies, it would be very difficult for an agent to sell the sequel to a publisher.

Taking everything into consideration, I decided to independently publish again. Even though it’s commonly referred to as “self-publishing,” it is rarely done in isolation. In addition to all the people who have contributed their time, insights, knowledge and encouragement to this endeavor, I have enlisted the services of Word-to-Kindle for the formatting and cover design. So, my latest novel, A Detour Home, should be out into the world in about a month.

For everyone who has read my first novel, A Better Life, and expressed interest in knowing what happens to Jenny and Margaret (now Meg), I hope you will enjoy their continuing journey in A Detour Home. As Meg searches for her true identity, A Detour Home explores their complicated mother-daughter relationship and the courage it takes for both Meg and Jenny to confront their past.

I will announce the publication and the book launch for A Detour Home within the next few weeks, and want to express my sincere thanks to all my readers, current and future.
