A New Chapter

Forget Me Not has been handed out to some reviewers, and preliminary plans for the blog tour in early February are underway. (I even bought a couple of items for the tour-wide giveaway, which I'm excited to share!) While there are a few things to finish up for FMN - like reading all of the manuscript aloud, making sure the formatting is correct before uploading to Kindle, completing all the blog tour preparations, etc. - it's about time to start a new chapter in the series.

If you've checked out the tabs above, you might have noticed that there's one for "Short Stories." I wrote a companion short story for the Five Glass Slippers contest (hosted by author Anne Elisabeth Stengl and her Rooglewood Press), and it inspired me to write more. So, in addition to getting started on Morning Glory, I'm hoping to write Bellflower next. It will be the mini prequel to the prequel. Yes, I know - the way I'm publishing this series is a bit convoluted! If I'm able to meet my goal of publishing the whole series by the end of 2014, we can all finally read the story from beginning to end, LOL.

I hope to be able to share more about my Bellflower and Morning Glory progress soon, in addition to Forget Me Not release news! But speaking of chapters and "belles," here's a musical sneak peek of Chapter 3 of Forget Me Not:


The song is "Black Bear" by Andrew Belle. You can find all the YouTube videos for the "soundtrack" on the Pinterest board, and you can find the song order on the soundtrack page.

Does the song intrigue you? Feel free to share your thoughts on the lyrics/genre and how the song might relate to the story! And feel free to let me know if there's anything you'd especially like to see on the blog: character interviews, setting stories, theme discussions, changes from first draft to final. I'd love to hear what interests you!
