@Nikki Hillhouse oh wow! This is fabulous. I loved to read the book! I too have a health history. Not as serious as yours but god bless on your recovery and triumph💚. Please let me know the release date. I’ll preorder! ☺️

@Shirley-Louise Daniels love this it took me straight into an Austin era. I am not a Bridgeton fan either. Although I did like the Queen Charlotte episodes. I look forward to your series when it’s done. I will reread your passage again. It’s really captivating and took me straight back into my favorite Pride and Prejudice! It’s exciting to see how well versed you are with the genre. I am becoming a fan of your writing and its imagery makes me want to read Austin again since it’s been awhile☺️

@Dani Rosenblad James funny you should ask a question like this. Originally, when I first started writing, it was in the premise that what I wanted to write about was a movie of my own creation. I vividly saw my characters and the scenes from angles that should be shot to tell the emotional dramas of the characters I envisioned and the rocky terrain that they traveled in my storyline. Somewhere along the way, I realize that I had so much to say if I were the reader, I would have one thing needed to approach a movie of the magnitude in my head. And that would’ve been to have read the book of the story I was telling. Now when I look back at it and see the magnitude of what I wrote, even in the process of all of the editing that’s being done to it. I still see the film role in my head as a visual of the movie it could become. It’s very exciting when you let the visions play in your head and you see written words, come to life. I imagine drawing the story boards for the filming in the play out of the roles of the characters in their engagements. Thank you for such a great question. I don’t get a lot of time to come in and talk in the community as much as I would like, but I could not walk away from the question that was asked. See you all soon.❣️

@Dani Rosenblad James I’ll give you more… I’ll post a little taste of the story for your mind to catch a hint. Title: Loves, twist and turns. Tagline: A restless heart is just a heart seeking its home. Opening scene : Looking around on a tree lined Atlanta street. Where homes lay back off of manicured grass and gardens with sculptured curb appeal. In the late summer of an August afternoon. Avery Another attempt to get some answers. My mind reminiscence at all of the familiar memories of years gone by. I approach her old residence wondering; if behind that door, I would find the answers. The touch of my finger on the doorbell, sent a rippling sensation straight to my heart. My ears heard the chime so familiar from my past. I scan my eyes at the surrounding facade of the property. There had been lots of changes in certain places, but still, I felt the familiarity of this being her home. The seconds are ticking off in my head as I wait for someone to answer. I hear voices behind me; as I turn to look out towards the street, again. People in the Neighbourhood are doing landscaping and talking with each other. It was sort of a distraction to my pending thoughts. Hopefully of what was about to happen. I take a deep breath. Full with anticipation and uncertainty. Maybe I’ll get some information. I move around with impatience; when I raised to press the bell again the door moved. I immediately shifted. Stepped back as the door opened slowly but not wide; not knowing who or what was going to appear. I’m expecting to see a person, stranger, adult. But there stood a little girl and her appearance caught me off guard. My mind starts racing. I immediately thought of my sister. “Hello” she says. My breath is caught in my throat. I feel the urgency to speak, but I can’t. It’s like my breathing is being suppressed by an invisible pressure. The child is staring at me with curiosity on her face. I clear my throat. “Hello” I reply. She is looking me up and down, examining me with eyes that ironically resemble mine. A smile comes to her face. With a little nod, she asked.

While I’ve been busy with revision to my first manuscript and book series. Publishing is that conundrum that lingers in the recesses of my mind. Especially because I’ve got several books of poetry and children stories in the works and almost ready for the next steps. But my manuscript needs to transition this year. So focused on editing right now. To have knowledge of all aspects for me is what makes me feel aligned with having a grasp of this whole process. Eye on the prize!
