Hello, friends. This website has long been quiet. Covid invaded my universe, and it did not retreat for a long, long time. I am finally back to 90% and ready to re-engage. This spring, I attended the C.S. Lewis Writer’s Conference, “Cultivating a Writer’s Life,” in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was put on by the C.S. Lewis Foundation and Cultivating Oaks Press, and it was wonderfully refreshing. I met a dozen young writers involved in “The Author Conservatory,” a college alternative for writers. Interesting concept. It was good to touch base with my long-time friend and editor Steve Laube, who delivered one of the plenary talks. I’m fired up to write again, as soon as I can convince my seventeen-year-old cat that I have not abandoned her. I am hard at work on a new novel, another space opera like the Star Wars and Firebird novels. I will post more if anything becomes definite!
Glad to hear you are working on a new novel! Can’t wait.
Hi Kathy:
I really enjoyed all the Firebird stories and making the gospel come alive in a different way in space! Because I liked your books so much and read them more than once, I check in once in a while to get updates on one of my favorite authors! Since I have lived in Colorado all my life, I was delighted to learn you had been in Colorado Springs and that you are thinking of writing again…YIPPEE! I am a recently retired RN, and since I am trying to navigate identity crisis and time management, a new book by you sounds just wonderful! You go girl!
Hi Kim! Thank you for the kind words, and yes, it’s true. I am working on a set of three new Firebird-universe books that will fill in a gap between two of the previously published books. I will be allowed to make a pretty big announcement on September 4, so please come back to the website then. (c;
Hearty congratulations on your retirement. I know what you mean about an identity crisis. What do you do now?? Maybe … read more? Thanks again — Kathy
Can’t wait to hear what you think of it, Susan! Thank you!
