Wow. I’m not so good at getting this blogging thing down. Between a toddler, writing and living life in general it’s not so easy to find time to update, is it? I haven’t done much work lately on my latest book, tentatively titled The Music Within, but sometimes I think there’s a certain degree of lying fallow that has to take place in the creative part of the brain before the seedlings begin to sprout.
The Music Within is somewhat more complex and suspenseful than my finished manuscript Glass Hummingbird. In a nutshell, The Music Within is about a generations-old conflict between two families and how it threatens the fragile relationship of an artist and investgator as they begin to unearth shadowy family secrets. I love family secrets – although I admit to feeling a certain degree of pressure to make it a really “good” secret so readers don’t feel cheated when it’s finally revealed.
So that is in progress, and I’m thinking ahead to book three, which is rather nebulous right now but seems to involve a librarian and 18th century France. That should be fun!
Are you ever going to add another entry to your blog? (Or are you “blogged down”, if so, remember, writing this thing is as easy as falling off a blog….)
