I hope you had a wonderful summer. My time was spent between writing and hanging out with my kids. I finished Duet at Midnight, my TapTale story for the Chapters: Interactive Stories app summer writing contest. With the family, I enjoyed day trips, weekend excursions, and our annual camping trip.

Writing Duet at Midnightwas definitely an experience for me. I even posted on Maya's Musings about it. It challenged me as a writer. It forced me to stick to an outline. It showed me I could write a complete story in six weeks.

I wrote Duet at Midnightfor a contest...and there were winners for first, second, and third places. The winners were announced on September 20. Although I was not among those named, completing the story feels like a win. I love my main character Drew Parker, and I have a feeling you haven't seen the last of him.

Praise for A Wizard's Choice:
“I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging and entertaining story… Not your ordinary vampire, wizard and fairy pulp this book dares to explore some modern ideas of the self and age old struggles with do the sins of the past dictate your future…” -- Megan, Goodreads

With its beautiful cast of characters, ancient folklore, tales of family dysfunction and betrayal, combined with paranormal happenings, this story flows easily and is vividly brought to life..." -- Alison Ellis for InD'Tale Magazine

What's next? I started writing Book 3 of The Magicals Series. This book will feature Alina, the fairy you met in A Wizard's Choice. I'm really enjoying this magical world...and I have a feeling you'll see more of it in the future. Until next time, happy reading!
