It's Been a Few Days...

Hello my wonderful readers....while there are some of you who have stuck with me through this difficult time, these difficult years, I want to express my gratitude to you.  Those who are new, I say welcome.  I have changed some direction from the last time that I self-published.  I am more...deliberate, less...impulsive in my attempts to bring you the stories that flow in my head.  Perhaps that comes with age.  Perhaps that comes with the emotions that grief brings.  I was always 'daddy's girl'.  I idolized my father.  Sure, we disagreed, we clashed a lot, but that was because we both have a penchant for being stubborn when we think we are right.  Who really knows?  Still, the loss of my father has brought about many changes in my personal life.  Life is an interesting journey full of so much, whether bad or good.  So, without further ado, here is a short unofficial synopsis of Winter's Echo: Mark of the Gods.   Synop...

Winter's Echo: Mark of the Gods - A Journey Revived

Dear Readers, On January 31, 2025, I picked up the pen once more to rekindle a story that had been quietly resting with a mere 5,000 words to its name. After several years of silence, the words began to flow again, and I decided to seize this opportunity, to test the waters of creativity. To my amazement, Winter's Echo: Mark of the Gods has now flourished into an impressive 63,271 words, with only 3-4 chapters remaining before its completion. The next phase will be the meticulous process of editing, ensuring that every word is honed for your reading pleasure. During this time, I'll be sharing book trailers, teasers, and snippets galore to keep you immersed in the world of Winter's Echo. As it turns out, the characters have spoken to me—they seem to desire a series rather than a standalone tale. What say you, dear reader? Are you eager to see more than just a single story? Would you like to delve deeper into these worlds, to become entwined in the lives of these characters ...
