Finding Ginny is waiting on a home!
Nov. 22 — At a recent writing conference I had THREE publishers ask for my manuscript, Finding Ginny!! So, I sent it off to them and I’m waiting…waiting..waiting.
There is a lot of waiting as a writer.
Finding Ginny is complete! Except for some editing… 😉
Writing a novel is hard work, and I love it! They say to write about what you know, so my MC (main character) is a middle-aged woman who has a drug addict she loves.
Want to know more? Check out this blurb:
Finding Ginny is a fictional novel chronicling a growing issue in our country—grandparents raising grandchildren because of a parent’s addiction.
Kat is in a rut, as her best friend says. Status quo, a quiet life as a widow and an elementary teacher. And she likes it. But, she’s also the mother of a drug addict—her daughter, Becky, who has been gone for eight years.
Looking forward to a dull summer in her Virginia Beach home, her drama-free life upends when Becky arrives and drops her six-year-old daughter, Ginny, at Kat’s.
Will Kat get past Ginny’s prickly façade and have the privilege and challenge of raising her, changing everything about Kat’s life goals? Or will Becky get and stay sober, cutting Kat out of their lives forever?
