I'm Getting Close
According to my WordElf Calculator for authors, I'm 86% through with my newest book, The Grist Mill. I've given myself nine more days to finish, but this could change at any moment as I add more than I intended or end it before I originally thought. So don't hold me to it. But I just thought you might like to know that I'm getting close. I'll close the gap even more this morning. Hang in there. It's coming.

Book 9 Cover Reveal
Wednesday, January 7, 2026
Working Hard
Why have I been so quiet on this page? you might wonder. The answer is simple. It's because I'm working every morning on book 9 of Branches in Time and after a few hours I begin to go a little brain dead. My mind is so entrenched in 1908 or 1848 that I can barely pull myself back to the new 2026. Making another post in this modern techy world is the last thing on my mind. I'm still digging for gold or riding in a new-fangled automobile going a whopping 25 miles and hour. It's hard for a girl to adjust. Anyway I decided to give you a tiny taste of what I have written so far. So here's a sneak peek of The Grist Mill.
She still had
Lar’s tracking device which followed Rem’s dot -- she had kept it after he died
in the fire, even though it was useless to her for time traveling -- but she
could tell that Rem was visiting his mother and her husband in Shelby. She supposed it was comforting for him to be
with his mother who was probably doting on him and feeding him his favorite
foods. But no matter, thought Skye, it
was done. She was no longer Mrs.
Hart. She had legally taken her maiden
name back, so she was once again Skye Kestler.
At first she had gone by Mrs. Hart simply because she was used to the
sound of it, and it gave her some respectability, but when no husband had
appeared and questions were asked about him, it was easier to use her old name
and avoid the discussion completely.

Three Christmas Novellas
Did you know that I now have three Christmas Novellas? What a beautiful gift they would make all bundled together tied up with a pretty ribbon. I like to place them in a basket with a package of hot cocoa or even a bottle of wine, a mug or pretty glass, and nice pair of socks. It's perfect for a cold winter day next to a fire. No fireplace? Look for one on You Tube and let it run for hours. I love the crackling sound it makes.
Now go on and order these books, before it's too late to get them for Christmas. You know you want to.
