After taking some time off and dealing with the flu, I’m settling back into some serious writing time. My heroes have been more patient than I have while on this hiatus. Scenes have been dancing around in my head, expanding and growing in leaps and bounds and as my hands hit the keyboard for the first time in weeks they flew across it nonstop.
The time away from my writing actually worked well for me. It allowed me to rejuvenate my own creatives juices while giving me much needed rest. I don’t think we realize how hard we push ourselves. We get on a treadmill, so to speak, and just keep going and going and going. It’s good to take a break now and again, do something out of the routine, regroup, refresh, concentrate on something else entirely. Which isn’t easy for me since I’m usually writing whether it’s my books or in my journals.
I learned, actually I remembered, just how invigorating stillness can be. To sit and do nothing is quite freeing and relaxing. A cup of tea, a comfortable chair, a pleasant view brings much contentment when you allow yourself to truly enjoy it.
So, take a mini break for yourself.

Sit in a chair, cup of tea, coffee, or wine in hand and do nothing… be content!
can’t wait for some new books. I reread my books but I am so ready for new!
Working on some new ones now!
Hi Donna,
I hope that you are finally feeling better from the flu. I wanted to thank you for the 2 Valentine gifts which I just downloaded.
I’m feeling much better. Thanks so much for asking, Billie. Enjoy the Valentine gifts!
Hi Donna, I’m so very glad that you got over that flu. It’s sure some nasty stuff.
I enjoyed the Series, Highland Warriors, I’ve read the first two books a few times, then Cree and Dawns stories in between.
Just waiting for the Third books to come out.
I’ve also read and have enjoyed them so much, The Macinnes Sisters Trilogy. I find I can’t put your stories down, It’s so hard to do that.
I love the Pict Series as well. So very enjoyable. Will you be doing more of Stories of the Pict. I found them so very interesting.
I’m so glad that you were able to take that hiatus. Everyone needs to do that once in awhile. I’m just the type of person, I get one book of the set, and I have to get the others as well. That is how I am.
Love the new Website, It’s very easy to look around, and to leave comments .
I know you’re working very hard on writing. I so love your work. Thank you for the Valentines Day gift. I have both of the books. I can reread them again. Take great care, and give Cree, a good scratch behind the ears for me, and Happy Valentines Day to you too.
Hi Nancy,
I’m so happy to know how much you enjoy my books. It always makes my day to hear from readers. As far as the Picts, I had a thought on another book for the series but it’s a matter of adding it to my already full schedule. So that is still undecided.
Thanks so much for letting me know what you think of my new website. It helps me to make sure my readers have a pleasant experience when they visit here.
I’m glad you enjoyed the Valentine’s gift and I will Cree a big hug from you. He loves hugs.
