Yay and hurrah, my new book Snowbound on Skye is available in Paperback and eBook!
I’m so excited I want to do cartwheels—if only I could—and dance the highland fling!
I think writing a fiction book is akin to completing a patchwork quilt. I stand in awe of people who sew them even if I can’t manage the task myself. I suppose that first the quilter envisions the design and patterns, then imagines the colors, and finally completes the arduous task of sewing all the pieces together and attaching the back. Oh, my!
Yet fiction authors must imagine a plot, and then create the characters, and fabricate a unique plot. No wonder my writing keeps me up at night!
I’m often asked where my characters come from. Honestly, they seem to sprout from the back of my mind when I’m journalling or walking Piper, my cairn terrier, and demand to be brought to life on the page.
Who are my characters in Snowbound on Skye? A single woman who owns a used bookstore, her cooking-show diva sister and her daughter, plus her Amish nanny who venture to the Isle of Skye in search of adventure, healing, and possibly love. Anyone who follows my writing knows there is sure to be a good dose of love!
Why set the story on the Scottish Isle of Skye? For one thing, I love my time spent in Scotland, the Isle of Skye, and the Scots in general! To learn more about my Scottish heritage please check out last month’s blog post.
Why a snowstorm? Snow is something that I adore any time of year! I’ve even gone skiing on nearby Mount Baker on July 4th! Hey, that sounds like a fantastic plot for another book, when I have a novel half-finished that begs for attention.
