I apologize for indulging my frustration. This story is an expression of that, as yet again, we’ve entered “dumpster season” up here on our little Middleburgh mountain.

In a previous blog post, I mentioned that one of my key inspirations for writing the Junior Handlers Mystery Series were the kids on my JrShow-L list. I’ve always had pets in our household, and my children were raised to love and respect animals. Though neither was a Junior Handler, they both have a special bond with our pets. My daughter grew to be a “cat person”, my son loves to help with all the animals in our family (or perhaps I should say menagerie, since I have been doing songbird rescue). I’ve always felt that having animals around is great for children, and helps to develop their sense of responsibility, as well as their innate respect for all living things. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychology apparently agrees. I was never a Junior Handler. So, why am I so enthusiastic about the sport that I’d write an entire series of mystery stories surrounding it? Amazon informed me this morning that my Author Page is online and accessible. http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B003XJHLBG There isn’t much in this world more exciting to a writer than seeing that first novel in print. Well, maybe giving birth to a new child, or a long-awaited litter of puppies or kittens or a foal, or winning the lottery…. Nah, not even winning the lottery would be more exciting. The Corpse That Wasn’t There is the first installment of The Junior Handler’s Mystery Series, which will be published by Lost Bard Books. The book is done, and the editors are putting it through the final spell-check and tweak before assembling all the parts and putting the finished product online. Rest assured that I’ll be posting here as soon as it’s available for purchasing! I woke with a head full of fuzz this morning. I want to be working on my novel, but thought I would write a blog post first, to flush out the circuits a bit. Knit-Wit Update The past few days have been filled with creative fun. I finished that second scarf, to start with, on November first. [Click title to read post ...] |
