Just Released!

I have a new novella out this week! Where My Heart Resides is a contemporary romance, quite unlike my four WWII books.

I started this quick-read story last December when my WWI novel refused to progress. Despite knowing where I wanted the story to go, I could not keep it moving. Setting it aside for a while seemed like the best thing to do.

In the meantime, I worked on a writing exercise that included a foreign city and three objects that had to be incorporated in the story. The result is Where My Heart Resides. Writing it was fun, and I hope that shows through. It takes place in beautiful New Zealand, which I visited in 2008.

Because of its short length, this is available only as an ebook for both Kindle and Nook, and is priced at 99¢.

The rights to my WWII books reverted to me last spring and I’ve been busy getting them available again. All are listed at Amazon as ebooks, and two are now available as print books with the other two still to come. I never realized book formatting equated with rocket science, but alas, it does!

Touching History

During a visit to our hometown of Green Bay in June, we were shocked to discover the old neighborhood swimming pool is no more. Why tear up a swimming pool? My sister and I spent a lot of time there, first learning to swim and then competing on the swim team.

Several days later, while searching through newspapers.com for any mention of Wangards, I found repeated references to my sister and me. We’d made the sports page after doing well in swim meets.

And then, there we were. The undefeated Schmitt Park swim team. A bygone day.
