NaNoWriMo is over. I wrote just over 14,000 words in my latest contemporary romance. I am continuing with it through December to see how much closer to 50,000 I can get.

Below are my other works in progress.

Amelia’s Mission – Middle Grade Fiction

I have completed twenty-three chapters in this middle grade novel about an orphan girl sent to live with her unmarried aunt, who ends up uncovering a secret in the aunt’s past. Set during the Reconstruction Era, Amelia’s friendship with the family’s Black stableman is frowned upon. When she disobeys Aunt Martha one time too many, she is sent off to Elms Academy, a private seminary for girls.
