Here Comes Tipi!

Working on the sequel to Marcel's Gift (working title, Tipi's Psalm).  As many readers have said they couldn't put down Marcel's Gift,  they also wanted to know what happens to Tipi, the little orphaned girl from that story. They had to ask, right? Just wait until they read what Tipi's Psalm has in store. A top-notch romance with 3 capital Rs--a surprise Reveal, a promised Resolution, and a beautiful ROMANCE.

"MARCEL'S GIFT" ARRIVES IN 2 WEEKS.

       My husband said he feels like an expectant father pacing the waiting room while the baby gets ready to make its entrance. Well, if he feels like that, you can imagine how I feel. My due date is getting near. I hope you will add my "baby" to your ereaders.

     In just 2 weeks, (Feb. 15th) my debut novel, MARCEL'S GIFT, a contemporary love story, will be available from Amazon.com.

  "One heart: two men. She's found the love of her life. Too bad it isn't the man she's in love with."
                                                    
                                                      SYNOPSIS:
    
      Solange and Ambrose meet in the south of France--a meeting as unpredictable as it was predestined. Yet, it fit into the dark diagonal spaces where love often finds a foothold and loiters there waiting to capture and break the human heart.
     Ambrose brings Solange into his arms and eventually into his bed, sidestepping the issues that she is happily married, he is a Catholic priest, and her husband Marcel's gift sanctions the affair.   
     The lovers' voyage of forbidden love sends the reader on a highly sensual romantic journey spanning three continents: touching down on the birthplace of Impressionism in the ancient cities of France, the hot desert sands of Algiers with its blue-veiled men of the Sahara and the private, sacrosanct, papal chambers of the Vatican. 


     

Hurry Up and Wait...Waiting for Marcel's Gift, that is...

We've waited for Godot,
Waited to Exhale,
Waited for the Good Ship Lollipop,
and now we're waiting for MARCEL'S GIFT.

 I've finished correcting the galleys...mostly eliminating the word "WAS" over a thousand times. Yes, I said thousand, folks. You do the math...275 pages with was appearing at least 5 times per page. I've got it down to 265 times, but now I'm was-zy.

Thank goodness the Holidays are coming; I should be pre-occupied with shopping, wrapping, baking and watching "The Miracle on 34th Street" for the umpteenth time that the February release date won't seem so far away.

Soon as my publisher puts it on Amazon for pre-release orders, I'll send out the alert.

TIME TO CELEBRATE

     On Friday 9/9/11, I found an email from a publisher that indicated they were forwarding a contract to me for the publication of my first novel, "Marcel's Gift." It will be published as an ebook so all you Nook, Kindle and iPad owners will have access to it as soon as Amazon.com gets it from the publishing house. (Estimate 30 days). Details will follow.
      As a writer, I'm usually not at a loss for words, but ask me, Am I "Happy?" of course; Do I feel I'm in a "Surreal" world?  indeed; "Thankful?"--you bet!
