I Finished Tagalong Bride!
This is the first book I completed in over a year, so this is a huge deal for me. There were moments when I thought I’d never finish another book again. I guess burnout led to doubt, and doubt led to depression. But I had some people encouraging me along the way (thank you!). When I finished this book, I realized that I still have books left in me to write. So this is one of those books that has a special meaning to me.
Shotgun Groom (Joel Larson’s story in the Nebraska Series) was another book that marked a special occasion for me. I finished that one after I first dealt with someone stealing my books. I was so discouraged and wanted to quit. But (again thanks to the encouragement I received), I kept going. Completing Shotgun Groom after a month of battling with Amazon to get the stolen books removed renewed my energy for writing.
So these books that give me a renewed sense of purpose don’t come along often. Tagalong Bride is the second one since I started self-publishing ebooks in 2009. (I did some vanity presses before then, but I don’t count them because those books never went anywhere.)
I’m excited to be writing again. I feel like I’ve taken a new turn in this venture. I don’t really know how to explain it except that I’m finally having fun again.
This book will be out in August. I haven’t set up a date yet. I am planning to put this on pre-order so I have time to get links and posts made in advance. I’ll keep you updated on this in the weeks to come.
