Flash Forward!
Dear Reader,
I just have to share some of my great news with you! I have completed the first four books in the Nautical Mile series.
Salty Summer, Book 1
Fishy Fall, Book 2
Wild Winter, Book 3
Secret Spring, Book 4
I am presently working on the 5th book, Dark Dawn. I hope the series takes off. I am very excited because the storyline is really getting good. My boys and I talk about taking our little dream into deeper and deeper waters.
I also want to share a little bit of news that had me all aglow, yesterday. My boys had talked me into sending information to various producers. Yep that's right ... the guys who make movies, and I actually got a call from Universal Studios! I couldn't believe it!!!!!!! Not to get too excited, they called to tell me that I had sent my proposal to the wrong department AND that they were forwarding it to the motion picture department. So it was not a YES or a NO. But it was definately hopeful, because of all the things they could have done - like mail it back to me or throw it away and never contact me, they called to tell me they were forwarding it to the right department. I have my fingers crossed that one day, there will be a Nautical Mile movie.
