Manuscript Locked and New Adventures Beginning

Monday, August 30th, 2010 | The Writing Life, To Be Queen | 2 Comments

I got the best news while I was away in West Virginia…the manuscript for TO BE QUEEN is locked. Lovely! It is a happy sense of accomplishment to know that all the hard work going into the story of Eleanor’s rise to power as Duchess of Aquitaine and as Queen of France can now be directed into the next project. Though the work moves on, I am taking this moment to savor the joy of knowing that TO BE QUEEN is the best I could make it. Of course, I want the next book to be even better still, but that is where the continued work comes in.

Yet again, another beautiful place in West Virginia. The top of this mountain is wonderful. We had to take a chair lift up, and with my fear of heights, it was an adventure. We walked down the mountain later, which was steep, but I enjoyed it more. There were a lot of butterflies to visit with us on our way down.

I am away from my blog this week, because I am in West Virginia. taking in the beauty of the mountains looking for inspiration and finding it. I am making more video blogs, which I will share with you here next week. No indeed, Eleanor never visited West Virginia, but if she had, no doubt she would have found it as lovely as I have.
