The Falcon in the Barn will soon be available on Amazon, and here with teasers!

And here’s a teaser already. I’m making new covers for all of my books (again, also soon to be released), and this photo below will be part of The Falcon in the Barn’s cover.

(Gives me goose bumps!)

I’m so grateful for all the props and bits neighbors and friends have lent me. (Although my son still on a Mormon mission doesn’t yet know I’ve raided his costume crate; he’s home in four weeks and will figure it out then when he sees the mess I made of his boxes.) I also discovered the joys of fiverr.com and the graphic artists who made me some awesome labels, such as the Idumea one you can see in the photo. (The artist is from Italy; I love how we can share so globally!)

In fact, that label above and another (created by an artist in Singapore) will be part of a little giveaway I’ll be hosting later this month with the book release. (Gosh, I almost sound like a professional, don’t I?)

In the meantime, please forgive me, dear friends, for so many delays, but as I wrote before, life got in the way. I’ve not only been working part-time, but another little side hobby of mine on Etsy took off the past couple of months, giving us some very needed income.  (Shockingly, writing has NOT paid off all my bills yet.)

If you need help understanding the references, I can give you hints.

People have been requesting some clever modifications, too. My favorite is, “Check the Marauder’s Map.”

If you’ve seen these clocks on websites–and I still need to thank those who posted them–yes, I’m the Nerd Clock maker and the Harry Potter maker.  (Shockingly, these HAVE been paying the bills . . .)

But when I’ve packaged all my orders for the evening, I settle down to my computer to edit another few chapters of Perrin and Mahrree and everyone, and soon they’ll be here. So watch for updates, and thanks for your patience!
