Now I'm Really Back

Sorry, folks, too much happening in the past ???? years. Two moves, illness and publishing so many books, and I've neglected too many important sites on line. Now I'm really back. Lots of new books are published now with World Castle Publishing, books for adults and teens, even a chapter book series. Three of my children's books and two YA historical novel are in the process of republication by a teen/'tween publisher in Arizona, Saguaro Books, who actually found me. I have hopes the books will be read by millions, now. The Spice Trader's Daughter was released last month.

I never realized how much work goes into a rewrite. It's very tedious and time-consuming, but when the temperature reaches 107 in the Valley of the Sun, I don't mind sitting in my cool office, poring over a novel with a magnifying glass. In fact, all the things you wished you had said and done in the original version can now be incorporated. Especially if you took notes and kept them.

The latest adult mystery to be released by World Castle Publishing now has a teaser by Kelly Abell, who did a lovely job creating this teaser. Re the marketing options I was using that I spoke of in my last blog, I can only say, you get what you pay for, so be careful out there.
