My Writing Plan: Week of December 19

A Cat for Troy is really coming along! There’s very little in the way of revisions that my 2nd round of beta readers are finding, which is a real relief! Yes, I fret! Most of what they do find is easily addressed. My specific goal is to have A Cat for Troy completed by Christmas Eve. One of my beta readers was so excited about the book, not only has she gone back to read the others, but she’s volunteered to beta read for When Darkness Falls!! Which, if I get Cat done on time, I’ll dive into the day after Christmas!d

You can preorder A Cat for Troy on Amazon at the special pre-order price of 99 cents.

Also, last but not least, please subscribe to my monthly newsletter!

Coronavirus, of course. I’ve been in self-imposed #stayhome since March 15th, when I read this article by a journalist in Italy. I’m staying home and safe, and hope you are, too!
