I'm at Caroline Clemmen's blog today

I'm at A Writer's Life today talking about my paranormal novella, Angel of My Dreams, part of the Epic finalist Civil War anthology, Northern Roses and Southern Belles.

Talking about what's in a name at Slip Into Something Victorian

I'm posting today on how easy it was to change your name back in the 19th century. Join me over at Slip Into Something Victorian.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

For all my American readers, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

And today I'm posting over at TWRP's Black Rose Blog about what I have to be thankful for.

Revision's Finished!

Of course I'm not completely done with this manuscript, still have to go back and do line edits and a final proofread before submitting, but I'm relieved that this revision is over. And it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The trick, after reading my editor's revision request, was to put the manuscript aside for the entire summer, while I worked on other projects. When I came back to it in October, I could look at it in a whole new light.

I'm taking a week off from this manuscript and will start line edits the Monday after Thanksgiving. In the meantime, I'll catch up on blogging and revise, edit and polish a short story.

I even revised the blurb of the manuscript called Cassidy's War.

The Civil War is over, but Cassidy’s War is just beginning.

Cassidy Stuart longs to attend medical school. Her training under her physician father and her time serving as a nurse during the war, have only increased her desire to be a real physician with a practice of her own. When the man who’d left her at the altar five years before, returns, she’s determined not to let him upset the plans she’s set for herself.

Unknown to his former fiancée and her family, George Masters is now a Pinkerton agent sent to investigate a physician now living in George’s former hometown. When he finds Cassidy hasn’t married, he hopes he can have another chance with her, but can’t reveal his real reason for returning, at least not until his mission is accomplished.

Can love be rekindled with a doctor bent on revenge against them both?

I hope to have this completed and ready to submit by the beginning of the new year, if not sooner.

The Civil War changed roles for women

I'm blogging about Dorothea Dix and how the Civil War changed roles for women over at Slip Into Something Victorian today.
