Purple Things I Love: Purple Racing Fire Suits
Welcome back to Austen Promises! Here’s a link to last week’s post, in case you missed it. 🙂 I’m pretty sure everyone reading this blog is aware of my love for NASCAR racing (despite the sanctioning body’s efforts to turn it into Indy Car/F1 racing).

Friday’s Race to the Weekend: Book 4, Post #13
Welcome back to Austen Promises! Last time, I gave you Chapter 8. I changed part of it, but you'll have to wait until publication to see. 😉 LOL I basically just fixed some of the date stuff and Mary's conversation with Liz. Today, I give you Chapter 9.

Friday’s Race to the Weekend: Book 4, Post #11
Welcome back to Austen Promises! I didn't get as much written this week last week as I'd like, because I discovered that I cannot edit and write both in one day. Both require a lot of mental fortitude and stamina, and when I get home from a writing session at the bakery, I'm too tired … Continue reading Friday’s Race to the Weekend: Book 4, Post #11
Friday’s Race to the Weekend: Book 4, Post #10
Welcome back to Austen Promises! I didn't get as much written this week as last week, partly because I had to stop and go back through my plot and rewrite it.

Friday’s Race to the Weekend: Book 4, Post #9
Welcome back to Austen Promises! I've begun working on this book full-time.
