Belief (Book Three of the Estelle Series) is in the hands of my beta-readers!

I am sooooooooo excited to have new eyes on the page. I have read and re-read and edited and then, when I knew it was perfect, I re-read it and edited it again. Every layer gets better and better and there’s still more. My first beta-reader just wrote to me that she had finished. She said:

“I think I’ve read everything you’ve written so far and this is my favorite.”

There are parties and protests and rebellion and turmoil and tragedy. Hearts break and riot police are called in. I think you’re really going to like it. And so, here’s the cover: Belief best cover smaller

The tree in my front yard dresses up quite well ;o)

I’ll let you know in a few how to pre-order the book!

It’s been awhile…

Because I’m wading through my newest book, deep, okay, I’m snorkeling. Got my mask on and my breathing-tubey thing, a girl has to breathe, though it ain’t easy all the time when my newest hotties keep taking their clothes  off.

Here’s the thing, this book is probably—adult.

Perhaps—New Adult.

But when I look up New Adult all the covers sport naked male chests.

I’m not sure I get that market place. I mean don’t get me wrong, my guy, Edmund, is willing to take his shirt off, but he doesn’t have to.  He has other ways.

My new book is called, Violet’s Mountain. I’m looking for beta readers. Have you ever been a beta reader before? I give you a copy (kindle or ipad) and you read and tell me what you think. I have a questionaire for you.

The book should be ready for betas in about a week, so if you and yours want to help direct its direction, please send me a note:
