Yes, I know this news is going to be hard to believe, but after 4 years in publication (both as an eBook and in print) Island in the Clouds will finally have a sister-novel to share your shelf or space on your eReader! I finished writing an umpteenth draft of One Woman’s Island a week-and-a-half ago and now it’s in the hands of my editor, Rachel Small. I think at this point in time, after writing and rewriting the story of Mariana on Bequia these past 12 years, I’m more relieved than excited. Now comes the ultra hard work of preparing the final edited manuscript for ePublication, sometime later this year.
That publication date has been moved back further, however, because yesterday I discovered this link to a competition for which the new novel qualifies. But the novel needs to be unpublished. Might as well give that a shot…

Huge congratulations to Susan! It’s taking so long for me to finish the sequel to Atonement, Tennessee that I’m embarrassed to even mention book 2 at this point. Susan — the time it took makes it an even greater accomplishment! Mega hugs.

Thank you, Teagan! I found this post by Gene Doucette this morning that I thought to be appropriate … on the “real” time it takes to write a book: http://genedoucette.me/2016/04/twenty-seven-years-equals-five-months/ Interesting for all authors to read.

Ha! 27 years = 5 months… Yes, that’s about right. Especially when the real world has so many more tasks for us than the space ship next door. Fabulous. Thanks Susan. 😀
