Snowdrops are blooming even though storms continue to threaten us with wind, rain, and maybe more snow. But spring will be here and more flowers will bloom. It's such a promising time of year! However, the world situation makes me apprehensive. I pray for Ukraine. I've donated to Catholic Relief Services. I hope there will be an end to this conflict soon. But I'm a little too old to pick up a Kalashnikov and head to the front lines. And while I do have a small army of prayer shawl ministers, I don't think we could make enough blankets or shawls to help out the two million Ukrainians who have fled the bombing. It is such a horrible catastrophe.
So, I write stories of forgiveness and faith in an effort to combat evil. I don't know if it helps, but it helps me. I just finished going through the galley for ANGEL OF THE L TRAIN. There weren't many corrections to make, which was nice. I listened as the computer read it to me first. That is a very effective way to find mistakes. Then I printed out a paper copy of the galley and read it backwards. I found a few more things that needed to be corrected that I didn't find the first time. They were small things. For instance, the word nosy. Or is it nosey? Actually both are acceptable, but the preferred version is nosy--and I used it twice in the manuscript--once as nosy and once as nosey. I think it needs to be consistent.
I don't have a release date yet. But I have some some terrific news to share about the book. I just can't share it yet until all the paperwork is done. Still, it is something to look forward to and lightens my heart.
Stay safe and stay well.
