October has been an eventful month. I won’t lie: it’s been tense. Health worries for Ian’s family and for hubby Paul.
First, my son and his girlfriend birthed a new baby boy. The pregnancy was difficult. Mom suffered through months of high blood pressure to make it to delivery at 34 months. But tiny Max was delivered safely, and he and mom are both healthy.

I came down early from the cabin to help take care of big brother Alex while mom visited the NICU twice a day (and dad daily after work), until they could bring Max home.
For me, it’s been a blessing to get to spend regular time with my nearly 6-year-old grandson. It’s also been a curse because I had to take a writing hiatus for 6 weeks to devote to family.

Paul has had his own brush with the “Big C” as he put it. Further tests reveal he has some low dose radiation treatments in his holiday future, but the prognosis is about the best it could be.
Mercury in retrograde this month slammed me into rethinking and recalibrating some of my most important connections. Unfortunately, Mars ruled my words. I didn’t take the time to tone it down and paid the price. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to make some space in my overly-busy life, and abundance is already filling in some of those vacated spaces. Something big is on the horizon and time is ticking!

I did manage to run a slew of promotions to support my existing book, Song of the Ancients, and dropped the ebook price to 99 cents for the entire month of October.
If you haven’t picked up a copy, or if you want to gift a Kindle copy to a friend, grab it before Halloween!
Now I’m back to writing Crescent Moon Crossing. I expect to have this stand-alone suspense completed in November and hopefully have a cover reveal to you before the end of the year. Then I’m sending the manuscript out to a few dozen agents and editors to see who bites. Cross your fingers!

I’m also playing around with Pinterest and adding pictures of each of my main characters from Song of the Ancients.

I’ve had a visual of Nicholas in my mind for years, but it’s been fun imagining the other characters, especially Sinclair and Rod Standing Bear, my Lakota characters, as well as Samantha and bad guy Nuin Ash.
Take a look when you get a chance on Pinterest at writersandy.com. Let me know if the characters look like you imagined them.
If the Pinterest site proves popular, I’ll do book cover ideas and character sketches for Crescent Moon also.

I’d also love to get some Beta readers for Crescent Moon Crossing. If you’d like to read the book and give comments before it’s released, complete the “I’m Interested” form on this website and I’ll get in touch with you when it’s ready for you to read.
Thank you! And no, your email address will not be shared anywhere, with anyone except me.
Next week I’ll share:
*My Crescent Moon Crossing writing update
* Plans for NaNoWriMo in November
* The best new releases I’ve read this fall.
Don’t forget to grab Song of the Ancients while it’s on 99 cent sale for October!
