Heather Day Gilbert

Author

Welcome!

I know you’re new to this blogspot, because so am I! I really wanted to start a blog about the book I wrote in a month. I did this with some Facebook friends for the “NaNoWriteMo” challenge, based on a book about writing books in a month. I actually did complete my entire book of 50,000+ words in the month of January, 2009.

Have I mentioned that I am a homeschooling mom of three? I’ve always wanted to write a book. I’ve probably started at least six books, but they’ve never taken off because I just don’t make it a priority. This challenge was just what I needed to keep the creative juices flowing.

I’m also one of those obnoxious writers who believes that once the words hit the page, they need little, if any, editing. I’m currently in the process of trying to find a publisher for my book. At some point, I am fully aware that this will entail having an editor EDIT my book. For now, I just want some of my friends/family on Facebook to be able to see what I’ve written and give me some encouragement.

I’m hoping to post the first couple of chapters on here if I can cut and paste them on. Please feel free to read them, then either: 1) Beg me to read more, because it is just such an awesome book, or 2) Let me know in the nicest way possible that it is not something you are interested in reading because you’re not into supernatural fiction, etc.

I hope to get some followers on here so that I can show publishers that there is a market for this kind of fiction. I believe my book has an important message but I know it doesn’t fall into any typical category. I hope you enjoy it!

    I realize I'm a latecomer to your book posts, but better late that never, right? I just read the first chapter and I LOVE IT. I can't wait to read more. (I should get back to work, but I'm sure I'll be sneaking in readings here and there until I'm all caught up.)I earned a bachelor's degree in English, and I homeschooled my two sons for 4 years (grades 2-6) so I believe I'm qualified to say that your story is good. I was intrigued and drawn into the story immediately. Heather Rocks!!

A stranger is wearing her missing father's coat.
And he isn't saying why…

The last place Rosalyn Snow expects to find her father's coat is beneath Exeter's old Exe Bridge.

Especially not on the back of a man fleeing the police.

Convinced the stranger holds the truth she’s spent years searching for, Rosalyn brings him home for Christmas. But Simon avoids giving answers, and what little he reveals only deepens the mystery.

As Dunn House fills with glittering guests, whispered ambitions, and holiday celebration, Simon moves through society as though he belongs there... yet he’s just as at home among the vagrants on the docks. And when Simon’s carefully guarded past reaches Dunn House during the Twelfth Night celebration, the fragile peace of the estate begins to unravel.

What has become of her father?
And who is the man wearing his coat?

Bringing Simon Balfour home might unravel Christmas.

Discovering who he is will make it unforgettable.
