A New Year awaits and I am filled with the excitement of my writing journey. I have retired the first publication of the Gentleman Companion trilogy. I have spent the last five months with a new editor not only making storyline changes but also tightening my work. I hope to tell you in the near future that the second publication will be available.
Passage of Vines is complete. My first historical romance follows Clara, the fourth generation woman to inherit the family winery in Walla Walla, Washington. Originally, I had thought I would not make this book a series. However, based on the ending I have no choice but to bring Clara back in a second book. Although I kicked and fussed over the research involved in creating this story, I have to admit I have enjoyed the experience. Not only will the reader follow the history of women from the 1850's but I promise to continue to give you sips of wine knowledge throughout.
As 2015 approaches it marks my fourth years of writing. Four years of writing and completing my fifth book. Am I a rich writer, no. Am I a happy writer fulfilling my passion, yes. Patricia
