Major changes are happening in my home and work life and I'm very excited about them! First, I "retired" from working full-time as a technical editor and now am a consultant for SAIC. This change frees my time to write what I love: fiction. I'm continuing to work on Moon Flower, the second book in my American Revolution trilogy, and believe it will be an even better story than Morning Glory, another new working title. Now that I have an agent to represent my work, this change is well timed, too!

Other changes include my daughter graduating from UAH with her bachelor's degree in May, and my son following closely behind her, graduating in December. Can you spell "empty nest"? When my daughter moves away to attend grad school at UGA, the horses will also be leaving, which is another huge change. I can see frequent trips to Athens, GA, with hopefully a visit with my agent along the way.

Did you know that on my Links page I've posted several of my favorite online research sites? Watch for additions in the coming months as I've found some interesting research sites as I work on my masters in history at UAH. The intent with this degree is to inform my historical fiction as accurately as possible. In fact, I've been pleasantly surprised to learn that my instincts about the time period of my trilogy, the American Revolution, are mostly spot on as to how people interacted and why. So the times are accurately portrayed in Morning Glory. Hopefully, we'll find a publisher for it soon.

Thanks for stopping by!
