Just wanted to post a very sincere
Thanks! to you all.
"Waiting For Spring" is my first novel, my first attempt at writing a novel for that matter, and I'll be honest...I was a little nervous about how people would react to it. There's a certain amount of exposing raw emotions going on there, and there was always the fear of having said too much, of having gone too far, of "yikes...maybe I'm the only one who's ever felt this way." So to get such a positive reaction, to read that people could relate to and actually feel the emotions that the characters were feeling - well it's the best gift a writer can get, and I can't thank you enough for it.
As Laurie said, I am working on a second novel right now that tells Brian's parents' story, told through Rick's eyes. My hope is to have it ready by the end of the year, and when it's done it will absolutely be released on Kindle. I have a blog where I've posted a little bit about the progress of writing that book, as well as about Waiting For Spring...and a lot of other random stuff.

Also, just a quick note that all of the proceeds from the sale of the novel (Kindle, dead tree, and otherwise) are going to
Spruce Run, a domestic abuse project here in Maine that provides information and support to people affected by domestic abuse.
