Wading Through Life:
The gothics are coming!
I did it!
This past weekend, I finished the first draft of book two of my contemporary southern gothic series.
This series dream was born 3 years ago, and I’ve fought to bring them to life through a difficult job, writers block, home renovation, pandemic, and a job change… and the doubts, lordie, the doubts!
Trying to figure out how to make the move to this genre was intimidating, even after 10 years of publishing, but this is the genre of my heart and I had to do it!
The fact that I’ve finished drafts for books one and two in the last year seems like a miracle but I’ve just pushed for one word at a time. Now it’s time to revise!
There are quite a few things to come before the books can be released. Besides revisions, I’ll work with a cover artist to get that ready. See below for some theme ideas. I promise to release titles and covers to my newsletter first!!
Then uploading files to various retailers to prep for launch of book one *in May*. I’ll start the process all over again immediately because I want to release book two in *July*.
Are these books for you? Well, I hope so, but a big clue would be if you are a fan of secret passages, old houses, mysterious heroes, and secret societies. These books are patterned after the stories I devoured in the library as a young girl by authors like Phyllis A Whitney and Barbara Michaels. Mine have a contemporary setting steeped in the atmospheric surroundings of the southern US.
I hope you’ll join me on the journey to publishing the stories of my heart and share in my excitement!!!
Take care,
Dani

Something That Caught My Eye
I’ve been really into skulls since last Halloween and while searching for my cover inspiration came across this beauty. I love the juxtaposition between macabre and fancy.
