Yup, I’m Jumping on the “Bloggy-Break” Train!

Thank you all so much for visiting my guest post at Southern Writers on Wednesday! Loved your comments!

So, I’ve decided that since my brain is all but derailed this month, I need to take a blogging break. Still waiting to hear back on submissions for my Viking novel (yes, I’ll freely admit it’s been almost 10 months of waiting now!), and I’m still writing my next (non-Viking) novel to take my mind off my wait. I’d like to get this one finished by January, which means I need to add a mere 40,000 words between now and then.

SO, I’m going to hunker down and write. I’ll miss you blog-readers dreadfully in December! Your comments just brighten my days. I promise to be back and hopefully refreshed in January. AND if I get any spectacular news between now and then, I’ll definitely share with you!

Merry Christmas and let’s hope it’s a VERY Happy New Year…2013, here we come!

–Heather

    I might be boarding that train with you, Heather. I'm worn out from NaNo and other projects. I hope Santa brings you some good news! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

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.
