Spring

Spring in north Idaho means 75 degrees and sunny one day, rain with thunder and lightening another. For a former Californian, where weather means it's 75 degrees every day for months and it might freeze a couple of times during the "winter", the lack of consistency here in Idaho is strange. Sometimes entertaining, though.
So, as far as writing... I'm putting the final touches on my 1902 historical Christian romance, "Violet's Victory" and have roused a bit of interest in it among a couple of agents and a publisher. I'm continuing to work on my paranormal fantasy, "Immortal Sorcerer" and my YA fantasy, "Tyrala". I continue to love writing and find that the biggest difficulty I have is not being able to sit at my computer for as many hours as I'd like to without stiffening up! Or without dogs wanting me to entertain them. Or something. I'm very lucky.
I'm reminded of how fortunate I am when I realize that three people in my "sphere" have cancer and are fighting it, hard. Other people I know have had serious accidents in the past year and may never completely recover. My parents have both had joint replacement surgery this year, which, while wonderful and amazing, is still stressful and painful.
Cheers and blessings from north Idaho, where one of these days it will be summer and the bright orange kayak will be launched on Lake Pend Oreille.
