Character Interview Tomorrow Aug. 31, 2016

An author friend, Anna, is doing a blog tomorrow interviewing Jeremy McKetcheon, my hero for Abbey's Tale. It is funny how we writers think we're creating characters and sometimes they take on a life of their own. If you enjoy meeting Jeremy, I hope you'll consider Abbey's Tale when it comes out soon at www.thewildrosepress.com The direct link to Anna's post is:

Jane Austin is Alive and Well!

Probably everyone else already knows this but I just became aware that there is a revival of Jane Austin type authors mostly in the UK but other English speaking countries as well. And why not, her novels have been made into popular modern day movies. She could even have her own advice column like Dear Abby or Advice for the love lorn. One of the first authors to seriously dissect the relationships between men and women, customs and times, Jane is worth emulating.

Coming Soon . . .

We are now past 2nd edits for Abbey's Tale a historical romance set in Maine in Boston after the Civil War. The hero is an Irish immigrant who took the place of a drafted New Englander to fight for the Union. He was severely scarred physically and mentally and suffering from shell shock. Working as a lighthouse keeper and becoming a recluse are his ways of coping.

The heroine, Abbey, has been blind since birth but sees the world through the intricate carvings that her father brings back from Lighthouse Island when he delivers supplies. She is curious to meet
the man who carves them.

When they meet in a dramatic rescue at sea their lives are changed forever. The book should be available this fall at www.thewildrosepress.com
