Hello, World!

I am pleased to announce that I have resumed working on my work-in-progress, Chronicles of a Troubled Girl. I’m in the editing and formatting stage. I worked on it for over two hours yesterday. What got me working on it again? Well, my husband mentioned my book, asking how I was coming along with it. I told him I had finished writing it and I just needed to edit it. That conversation created a spark in my mind that motivated me to resume working on it. I intend…

I have chosen some of my favorite Bible stories as the basis for my new short stories. Starting with Noah's Ark, I will introduce the themes and messages of the stories I grew up with into my fictional Amish community of Karsten Field.

I have three blogs, only two of which are currently active (though you can read the posts on the third). And now that I've joined Book Blogs, I realize that I've been posting on my page and not on my blog. So I have to get in the hang of posting here. It'll take getting used to, but so do many things. Like being a published author.

I'm not recognized on the street or anything, but it is weird to think that I finally finished a project I'd been working on for half of my life.…
