I’ve been working to finish the first in a five part novella series entitled “Moonflowers”. There are times when writing is my salvation. It gives me time to be alone, to create and to literally escape the world around me. This story came from years of hearing about family who lived in the frontier of New Mexico after the civil war.
As a child we spent many summers in the Sangre de Cristo mountains outside of Taos, New Mexico and the Santa Fe area. My mother’s family is from this area, it is where my parents honeymooned years ago and a place that holds very special memories for me. The “Moonflower” series is definitely a work of fiction that spans decades of history from post Civil War to the present time.
This is the saga of five generations of women. What they did out of loneliness and sometimes out of desperation will captivate readers who enjoy women’s literature, history and a bit of the supernatural. This is a story that will have you waiting for the next four books to be published so that you can find out what happens in the end, if there ever is an end.
“Moonflowers”…..the saga will debut as an e-book in about ten days. There will be copies for giveaways and other news as the launch begins! I am a bit nervous, very excited and so blessed to have had the loving support of so many friends as family as this project has unfolded!
