Hey there happy reader!

As you know, I’ve signed on with the indie publishing house, Vinci Books. 

I’m very excited to let someone take over the marketing and sales aspects of my job, leaving me more time to write, but the downside is that IT TAKES FOREVER!

I’m so used to pushing the “publish” button myself that I’m more than a little bit frustrated that I can’t move this process along faster for you and just put my Stonehenge book out as soon as it’s ready. But I’m sure that the cover will be spectacular… as soon as I have an approved design, I’ll share it here first!

And I just also found out that master storyteller Ken Follett has written a book about Stonehenge, and it’s coming out on September 23rd!!! 

In his novel, a woman has a vision of a circle of stones, and the monument is built in the aftermath of her premonition. My book takes place a thousand years later than that, so I feel confident that we’re not writing about the same thing.

Not that I’m comparing myself to Ken Follett – he’s an amazing historian. But sometimes I wish that male authors would stay in their lane and not write novels with a woman as their main protagonist. I mean, really? What does he truly know about the way a woman thinks or feels? I get the sense that there will be some “mansplaining” along the way – wouldn’t you agree?

I guess that it really doesn’t matter. I’ve always believed that good ideas are in the air, and some of us pull them down to earth and work with them, crafting stories out of the smallest details. I think it will be interesting to see if our books turn out to be companion pieces of sorts… you never know!

It’s truly the unofficial end of summer as we celebrate Labor Day. 

We’ve been blessed here in the northeast with beautiful cool days and crystal-clear blue skies, and that lovely forecast stretches through the holiday. I do hope you will take the opportunity to get outdoors over the weekend. I plan on taking my Kindle with me so that I can have the best of both worlds; to be immersed in a great book that I sit and read in a shady spot by the pool!

What will you do?

As always, let me know what you think!

xoxo,
Hilari
