How did we get to November?

I finished writing the first draft of "Pieces of Me" on July 1, 2010 and now here we are in November! My book is doing well in eBook pre-release. I was hoping to have paper books by now, but they're on their way (hopefully, in time for holiday shopping).

July 1st changed everything: I never set out to be an author. I wrote this simply as a thinking girl's alternative to "Twilight"---to see if I could? I wanted a heroine, a real heroine that doesn't need to be rescued by a man (or men). What I came out with far exceeded my expectations.

All my life I was supposed to be a doctor. I never wanted that, yet lived in its gloomy shadow. Try though I might, I was only ever Not a Doctor, but on July 1st I said "NO" to the path I never chose.

Now I am something else indeed: I am a writer. I choose it. It chose me. I am finally something other than Not a Doctor.

In writing my 2nd book, I have reread "Pieces of Me" to fresh excitement and suspense. People are sharing great feedback and I'm encouraged to find my space in the genre.

I want to know what you think of "Pieces of Me". Please comment on my Facebook page, this blog, and be sure to share your feedback on whichever outlet you purchased the book.

Thank you for your help!

My 2nd book in the Pieces series, "A Separate Piece" will hopefully be available early in 2011.

I love having you on the journey.

The First Piece!

"Pieces of Me" offers a new heroine to the the horror/romance genre. A thinking girl's alternative, Sophie Mueller doesn't have to be rescued by a man, but takes her future into her own hands.

While there are no vampire's there are plenty of scary things!

"Pieces" is the first of a three part series, let's head down the path together... Please visit again for excerpts, events, and more.
