Memories of Home

Well, I decided to publish Memories of Home a day ahead of schedule; how many times will I get the chance to release a book on Leap Day?

Not too many, I imagine.  I can't begin to tell you how good it feels, letting a book go live.  Especially this novel, which wrapped up my first (unintentional) series.  Then led to three more manuscripts, which will be published starting in summer.

But for now, here's the continuing story of Alvin, Jenny, Sam, Tommie and the rest.  BIG BIG thanks to Julie K. Rose for expert editorial assistance, my future son-in-law Brian for the cover, and Bob for putting up with me over the last few days while formatting (not to mention the last years of all the writing).  Especially my husband, kids and extended family and friends; this novel is dedicated to them, for the tremendous love that inspired the Smiths, Cassels, Baxters and Harrises.  I cannot fully express my gratitude except to say I would not be doing this if their faithful support and steadfast love wasn't so deeply ingrained within my heart.  And as always, thanks to everyone at NaNoWriMo for putting me on this fictional course.  And to God, to whom all I am is shown every day, for better or worse.  Sometimes it's not so pretty, but today, on this rainy and wonderful extra day of 2012, here's a novel I wrote in appreciation of blessings and life.  And lastly to all you readers; enjoy!
