Last night I uploaded the first 4 books in the Nautical Mile Series onto Kindle. Salty Summer, book 1 is in print and now books 1-4 are e-books.
Salty Summer, Book 1
Fishy Fall, Book 2
Wild Winter, Book 3
Secret Spring, Book 4
I must say I was rather nervous loading the books last night. As an author, you write and re-write, revise and edit ... the story may never be 'done'. It takes a certain amount of strength to let a story go.
Please join me in a little prayer that my books - go, grow and be successful. AMEN

My Personal Goal
I have been writing off and on my entire life. Writing is second nature to me. I love a good story. Often, I find myself 'tweeking' stories I read to my children by including little tidbits that make the stories more interesting. I go overboard in helping the kids with class projects. There is something magical that happens when you CREATE something.
For many months now, my personal goal has been to try and figure out how to take this thing that I love and turn it into a career.
Believe me when I say this, it is NOT easy to break into the writing business.
But it is something that I feel I need to do. Not just for the financial benefits ... my family needs that too, but because it makes me happy. Do you remember the good things in life that you let go of because you had to 'grow up'? Well writing was one of those things for me. Until my husband, God bless him, kept pushing and pushing me to write a book for our kids. And guess what ... I didn't write just 1, I wrote 4!
The stories I've written have brought us together, in a whole new way. We dream together. We laugh together. We seem to be more of a family.
So stay tuned to see if I can turn this thing into a real career.
