New novel… 1st draft, 2nd draft, 3rd draft!

Regarding my new novel, “Eva,” I am in editing mode, and watching it get better and better and better. It would be pretty awful if it didn’t!  Sometimes you can edit yourself into a standstill, a land of second-guessing and insecurity. I am trying not to do that!

Here is the rough back cover BLURB:

“Eva has beauty she plays down, to avoid attention. But it doesn’t work. People are invariably drawn to her. She has a magnetic quality, a calm, a power she is unaware she has. She wants to be left alone to look after animals; they are her first love.

Another love is on the horizon, though. Along with life-changing discoveries. She discovers a father she doesn’t know, a new family she doesn’t trust, and that someone wants to kill her.
 
She discovers the most shocking and inspiring discovery of all:  She possesses a powerful gift that others do not have. But is it a gift? Or a curse?”
 
*       *       *
 
This is a rough cover, just to inspire me as I wrote. And not even sure of the title yet. Remains to be seen.
 
I will post the first couple of chapters soon!
 

 

I am finishing up a new novel!

I am finishing up a new novel! It is from an idea I first dreamed up twenty five years ago… good things (I hope) come to those who wait, and wait and wait!
