A New Year

This past December I sent my agent Steve my newest completed novel- Twyn Souls - an ambitious adult fantasy told from three POVs that each alternate across a sixty year gap, showing the characters at the beginning and end of their journeys. Set in a world where everyone has a "twyn" they see through while asleep, and who sees through them while awake, this is the first in a duology.

Twyn Souls is my fourteenth publisher-ready project and my eighteenth book total, including the four out now. 

As I shared previously, there are four books on submission at the moment. Those projects will hopefully find a home this year. I'm very optimistic for book deals and while it's been a long road to get to this point, I am excited to take that next step. 

In the meantime, I'm focusing on three major new works-in-progress this year. One is a satire, my first attempt at genuine humor. This fantasy parody has an Onward meets Lower Decks vibe and is about the struggles of parenting. It's told in a choose-your-own-adventure style and filled with terrible puns which makes it extra fun. I'm also working on a massive space opera/space fantasy in a similar style to Dune and Star Wars. Finally, I've started a new YA/older Fantasy Romance series- loosely Court of Thorns and Roses meets Shadow and Bone vibe, which centers on two magic users trapped together on a world that both needs and despises them. 

In the meantime, you can find me blogging away at CityDads about parenting.  And if you havent subscribed to the newsletter yet, be sure to now, so you can catch the exciting book deal news that I hope to soon share.

I am using this box to try to contact you, but not about your book. You posted about a rundown resort with child care. It is not the only resort in the U.S. with child care! Take a look at Purity Spring Resort in E. Madison, NH. I have been there several times with my husband and daughter, but not recently. When we went there years ago they had two kinds of childcare: some was at no extra charge during the day and then there were sitters one could hire for very reasonable prices. I would be happy to tell you more about it, if you wish or you can just look at their website. They may be all booked for the rest of August and maybe even September because people like it so much they book their vacation for the following year when they pay for the vacation they’re finishing. Please note that I do not work for them. I’m just a nice lady who understands the need for childcare when the kids are little and parents need to relax.
