When one book of characters packs up and travels to the printer’s, patient tales then perk up and peek at their faces and trees appearing on new deckled-edge papers on my desk, here in the library at Rose Cottage.
“That’s not what I look like! I’m a brunette…and I would never wear that! I’m from twenty years before that style,” they remind me.
“Ah, yes…right. Sorry. My hair colour has changed since we bumped into each other that day.”
So bossy, but…correct. “I’ll look it up.” They wear me out…
For many years now, I’ve been constantly scribbling down stories, day and night. There are too many to release separately, so several volumes will release as quickly as I can compile them together in the shuffling groups as they were born. It’s only fair…
Empowering, meandering stories, belonging to my endless Self-Health Novelette book series, will begin to release in the years nearest you now.
I love writing them, then painting them up…but typing? No! Anything but typing…so this will take a bit.
Not everyone will be displayed, as many of my characters are described in soulful adjectives, allowing the listener to imagine. I sit and paint with music, my darling husband reading to us…
If I can snag him, he’ll narrate some of my novels and children’s books in future. At least, I want his voice for roles that he inspired. After I release the newly illustrated Leona’s Homecoming, I’ll rerecord those four first books. Some of these watercolours will be available as fine art prints and stationery as well. Oh, so many joys to enjoy!
