Follow my Journey
I invite you to follow me on my current Path to Publishing:
“From Draft to Launch”
The Path to Publishing can be rugged and difficult at times and smooth and straight forward at others. Some weeks will show blissful progress, while others can be hobbled with hurdles.
But it all will lead to the goal: Publication of my newest Memoir.
Join me on my Journey and experience each step and and each success towards that goal.
To “up” the fun, I will put out a book-related question in each month, collect all answers, and draw the winner who will receive a free copy of this memoir.
Stay connected, follow me and have fun on this exciting path.

Post 2: Finished Draft is Uploaded
I am still reeling from how hard it was. The decision to stop and give it away. It’s not that I did this for the first time. It’s not that I hadn’t read through it a million times, and more. It’s not that I hadn’t given it to Beta Readers and faithfully tried to implement their feedback.I did all that. But still, I could not let it go. After one full day and a sleepless night, I agonized. Walked endlessly through a snowy forest, returned to my desk, looked at the laptop. And never punched the send-button.Until I finally did.Which sent me into another fretful night. Was it too soon? I could have still…, should have….When in the crisp morning hours, with the young light touching the tips of spruces, a bunch of grosbeaks fluttering at the window, my dog’s wet nose taps encouragingly at my elbow. As if she knew!And I felt OK.With my publisher chosen, a contract signed, and the manuscript uploaded, I am truly on my Publishing Path.

Post 1: A new Memoir
The decision is made.
2023 will be my Publishing Year.
Another colourful fragment of my life’s kaleidoscope will be transformed into a book. I have written another memoir with Frozen Rivers the unconfirmed title.
After two years of mind mapping, writing, rewriting and revisions, the draft is going to my publisher in February.
By fall, I expect the book to be on the market.
Until then, I invite you to follow me on this journey.
From Draft to Launch
