Hello everyone, and welcome to the home stretch of summer. Here in
Canada we’re experiencing a bit of a cool spell. We’re all wondering where
summer went and when it’ll be back. But that’s alright because this cool spell
is coming on the back of a heat wave, and personally, I’d much rather the cool
than the muggy heat we get here. Then again, I’m a bit of a northern girl; my
favourite time is mid-fall through to early spring … I know, I know: I’m
probably alone on this.
I hope everyone’s summer has been fantastic, filled with memorable
experiences and even more memorable reading. I was fortunate enough to be
invited to a cottage for a week in July, so spent many long, sunny days by the
lake … hunched over my laptop writing Legend of the Mist. It was awesome!
Speaking of Legend of the Mist, it’s going very well. I’m quite pleased
with how the story is progressing and which characters I am meeting along the
way. I am still on track to deliver a finished manuscript early autumn (I think
I’ve missed the boat on end of summer unfortunately), and I hope it will be as
much fun to read as it was to write.
This summer I’ve also had a lot of time to engage in other writing
projects which have been a lot of fun for me, including blogging about local
travel for a non-profit organization. It’s provided me with many fantastic
experiences. I’ve also had time to think about what I want my next book to be
about, but I haven’t gone too deep into that wilderness just yet. I still want
to spend my energy making Legend of the Mist everything I hoped it would be.
A quick note on my e-presence, I am going to try to be a bit more
active on Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads and my website than I have been in the past, so
check me out for more regular communication. And, of course, don’t be afraid to
touch base with me and leave comments or post your own ideas and messages to
me. I always love to hear from you.
Cheers and take care for now,
Veronica.
