When you get all the ingredients for a cake or casserole together and in the oven, you’ve got a little intermission time–to clean up, set the table, or whatever.
When all the elements of your manuscript have been sent on to be shaped into a real book, there’s a lull. Yes, I already have ideas for the next book, but I’ve also had the urge to clean up, eliminate some piles, even purge some (gulp) books.
I don’t have a cover to show you yet, but how about my mother-in-law, who just turned 100, with her two sons?
And part of the area I cleaned up today.
It was 48 degrees this morning, feels like autumn, so it’s time to put orange things on the front porch.
So this is intermission. Stay tuned for a book cover for What Leora Never Knew: A Granddaughter’s Quest for Answers, which is my journey to try to learn what happened to the three Wilson brothers who were lost during WWII. What happened to one is still a mystery, but how another was located and identified is so compelling. This is the companion book to Leora’s Letters, revealing details that Grandma Leora could not have known.
