The recent holiday season put me behind as well as other non-writing activities I've had to deal with and those distracting reviews that seem to come in all at one time, but I'm almost finished the edits on my newest work in progress, Cassidy's War.
If you haven't already read it on my website, here's the blurb:
The Civil War is over, but Cassidy's War is just beginning.Cassidy Stuart has longed to be a doctor for as long as she can remember. Growing up watching her physician father attend patients and her time serving as a nurse during the war, have only increased her desire to attend medical school and start a practice of her own. But in 1870, prejudice against female physicians still abounds. And things grow more complicated by the return of the man who'd left her at the altar five years before, the rakish ex-soldier turned professional gambler, George Masters.
George has been on the run, settling in New York City to live the life of a gambler, while trying to forget hellish memories of the death of his best friend, Cassidy's brother, at Gettysburg, as well as his time in a Confederate prison camp. But his biggest regret was deserting Cassidy two days before their wedding. She deserved a better man, or so he'd thought at the time. Will he now have a second chance to win a place in her heart?
Just have about 20 pages left to edit, then after I check a few notes I'd made during my edits, I'll start on the dreaded synopsis.
Hope to have the query and synopsis in my editor's inbox by mid February.
Wish me luck!

Good luck with the edits, Susan! This sounds like such a great story, I can't wait to read it.
I'm there with you trying to get back into the swing of things myself. I think I'm finally starting to get there!
Thanks, Nicole! Now, I'm proofreading and can't help some final tweaking. But I'm hoping to wrap things up this week and get my query and synopsis out.
