Evelina and the Time Pirates is free today.
Enjoy!
Love, Rachel

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!!
I for one am glad it's here.  Last year was a hard row to hoe.  Onward and upward I say!

I was hoping to have the second Evelina finished by now, but it's not quite there yet.  I'm working on it though.

The longer I write, the more I realize a story has a life of its own.  It grows and spins and turns at its own pace.  I'm just the messenger.

Here's hoping we all have a prosperous year, filled with health, happiness, and love.

'Keep on keepin' on!'

Hugs, Rachel   

Tweets

I'm tweeting now.  Who knew?
And for some reason I can't get that 'rockin' robin' song out of my head.

But, despite this affliction, it's a great way to connect with my readers and fellow writers.
Check it out. Join me on twitter.

New Page

I created a fan page on Facebook.  I don't know if I'll ever need it. 
But I thought, build it and they will come.  LOL The eternal optimist.  I guess that's why I'm a writer.

I was thinking the other day, I wonder if Mom still has that little blue smith corona I asked for for christmas in grade four. After watching the Waltons, I thought, wow, I'm just like John Boy Walton.  I'm a writer.  That's who I am. I used to type in the bath tub with a board across the tub to hide from my brother and sisters.

What a weird kid.  But I knew who I was. 

Follow your star. You'll get where you need to be.

Spring Fever

It's spring.  Can you feel it?  There's So much to do my head is in a spin. Some days it's hard to concentrate.

So today I'm writing a love scene, set in France and I'm pretty much brain dead. I got nothin'. A knock comes to the door,( unusual since we live on an old victorian farm in the boonies). I open the door to find a black haired swarthy guy, who says, 'Hello I'm Raoul. I come from the French Riviera. I have some delicious seafood in the back of my truck. I stared at him thinking, are you kidding? LOL  

God works in mysterious ways. Now the characters are just driving up the lane and knocking on the door.

Falling in Love

Falling in love.  It seems we can't get enough of it.  It's one of the most amazing experiences in our life. No wonder we love reading about it over and over and over again.

Writing romance has brought me great happiness, as well as tough challenges. But the power of love always brings me back - love of losing myself in the story, love of history, love for the great writers I've met along the way.  It's been an exciting journey, one that I hope never ends.

So back to the story,
Rachel
