I’m back. I took a week off (from blogging at least). I was swamped with work and needed to take a break. I’m happy to report that I sent in the page proofs for my July release Round the Clock, the fourth and last book in my Black Stockings Society, series and I won’t see it again until it’s in book form. I had to take a deep breath and realize that the series that had once only been an idea is over.

Now for a moment of silence.

Okay, I’m over it. I’m working on my next series.

For both aspiring and professional authors I’ve seen a lot of fantastic blogs that I hope you’ll enjoy.
