Missing since Halloween


A Seguin Sound man posts a request in the local newspaper, looking for his wife and daughter.



Thing is... they don't want to be found.  Find out why in this excerpt.  

This becomes a traumatic experience for Sera Fletcher who will spend the subsequent months missing her friend and sinking into depression.   

She finds joy when her illegitimate nephew is born.  Then she ponders life and death while realizing her mother will not survive the cancer that is consuming her once beautiful body. 

See more Seguin Sounder clippings.  Read more excerpts.

Thanks for dropping by.   Hop on over to The Year of the Rabbit web site when you have a minute.

Ancient Traditions and Research

After attending a Feng Shui workshop this weekend, I wonder if I did justice to settings in the novel.

I know, it's after-thoughts like these that can trouble an author's pretty little head. 

Perhaps I can review the descriptions of the Red Hare restaurant, the apartment above then update in a new version of the novel.  I understand the importance of proper research on certain subjects if you're going to write about them - even in a general sense.   When I first wrote these passages, I didn't want to complicate the story with technical details. 

I have been considering options for ebook updates, a fresh printed version (sorry, trees) and plans to translate into French.  Perhaps when I have a bit more energy and better resources.

You can read the detailed account of the recent Feng Shui workshop in the deep blonde thoughts blog.  The lovely Tree of Life print is featured.  So are the cats - especially that Tabby. 
 


Don't be offended by my thoughts on out-dated religious texts although the subject does emerge during various scenes in the Novel. 
  
Speaking of, drop by the Year of the Rabbit domain for updates, Tweets and distractions.  Oh, yes...  Remember to buy a gift copy of the novel at Smashwords where you set the price.
