A work in progress…

It’s hard to say when I started this journey. I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was ten. I did a little of it in my childhood. A little more when I was in college. I even majored in fiction writing. I picked up a pen and got started multiple times. I’d have the seed of an idea and no real development. And I would always hope the characters would start talking and it would somehow write itself. Needless to say, I have folders and notebooks full of starts, one that even got to a tenth chapter. I would lose inspiration and shelf it.

Right now, I’m in the middle of writing Chapter Thirty of “Under the Beech Tree”. The action is drawing to a close for my heroine, Rory. It has been an amazing, stressful, emotional, peaceful journey. One I wouldn’t trade. I started her story in 2021, walked away for a couple of years, came back to it, took another break, and picked it back up in January. I dove back into research and I was off and running.

I’m not stopping this time. Rory’s story needs to be told. And her story will branch into the stories of the amazing women in her life.

Each of these women…is me. And I’m excited to share this with you.
