NEWSLETTER

2011 and Beyond

Where does the time go????

Hello, again. Welcome back to my front porch. We spend many leisure hours either out here or on the screened portion of the porch that's just off the kitchen. You can see that here.

I'm still working on that contract I got for so many Love Inspired books but I'm happy to report I've finished three of those manuscripts since my last newsletter and am not feeling quite as overwhelmed. As I said before, it's a good thing I LOVE what I do.

We haven't had a chance to take a real vacation this year. At least not yet. It's been so hot here I actually ran the well out of water – twice – trying to keep my flowers and veggies alive. In another month or two I won't have to worry about it. They'll either have gotten rain or died. Preferably the rain.

Getting back to business, more of my backlist has been released as e-books. That sure seems to be the coming trend, not that I mind, because it means that these labors of love won't go out of print the way they used to. Some look the way they did in print and some, like this one, have a special border. I like it.

Last time we met I promised a peek into the storm cellar out behind the house. I thought I had a picture handy but can't seem to find it. Oh, well, it's your basic hole in the ground that has a bench and metal door to latch so we don't get blown away. I keep all my current manuscript files on a flash drive and hang it around my neck so I won't have to go looking for the text of a work-in-progress somewhere in the next county! The chances of getting hit by a tornado are very slim but I know better than to gamble.

Be sure to check here from time to time to see what I'm up to. I'm ashamed to say I don't update as often as I should but writing whole books takes up most of my energy. That's why I don't blog much, either, except for an occasional guest appearance.

Until we meet again, God bless you all,

Val
