I do love fresh starts and there’s none better than the beginning of a new year.  There always seems to be hope and enthusiasm around this time of year.  Such eagerness to dig in and make positive changes in our lives.  I’m right there with you.  I have goal sheets I’m working on (more about those later) and visions of a slim, athletic body.  Well, one can dream.  Wishes are free but changes call for real effort.

For those of you who have followed my career, you know that I’ve written several series featuring small towns.  I loved writing those books and your emails and letters told me you enjoyed reading them.  A couple of years ago, I decided to do something completely different.  It would be a series but these books would evolve around themes instead of a location.  I called it my New Beginning series.  In each of these books, the heroine is getting a fresh start—a new beginning.  The first book in that series was Last One Home (with the theme of reconciliation ) followed by A Girls Guide to Moving On (forgiveness).   Three more books are schedule, two of which will be published this year 2017.  If Not For You (healing) is due to be published in March and then later in August Any Dream Will Do (redemption).  I’m excited to share these next two stories with you and hope you’ll love them as much as I do.

So here’s to a fresh start for us all.  Happy New Year.
