I’m doing the happy-dance . . . (Okay, I actually stopped my moving feet to type this, but I’m dancing on the inside.) My fifth novel, A Valley of Betrayal is DONE and has been emailed to my editor!
I pushed SEND, and then I sat here. What to do???? (I’m going to miss Sophie and her blonde-haired, blue-eyed hero.)
Or, more accurately, what to do FIRST. (Cook a nice dinner, clean off my desk, how about a load of laundry. Nah . . .)
So . . . I BLOGGED about my joy!
Here’s the description of the book, in case you’re interested:
For reasons beyond her control, Sophie finds herself alone in the wartorn Spanish countryside. What was once a thriving paradise has become a battleground for fascist soldiers and Spanish patriots. She is caught up in the escalating events when the route to safety is blocked and fighting surrounds her. On her darkest night, Sophie takes refuge with a brigade of international compatriots. Among these volunteers, she pledges to make the plight of the Spanish people known around the world through the power of art.
It will hit store shelves Feb. 1 . . . if all goes as planned, and my editor likes the story!
Okay, now that I’ve let you know (you know who you are), maybe I should go tell my family the book is done.
I’ve gotten in trouble lately about NOT telling “real” people around me (not the YOU’RE not real) what’s happening in my life.
Just as an example, my brother-in-law had to find out from a friend that my husband had surgery last week. (Uh, the worst part is they were four hours away when they found out by bumping into my friend.)
My response?
Hello, read my blog!
Woohoo! Congrats on finishing the book, Tricia! 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this book with me! 🙂
Congratulations! I’m looking forward to reading it. =)
It sounds good, and I like the cover. I’ve read two of your other books and I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of them! Please keep up the good writing!

Tricia,
It’s a book to be proud of. Congrats again! And I LOVE the cover. It’s beautiful and actually fits well with the story — though does it should have a hint of a painting on it 🙂

Congratulations!! That must be such an awesome feeling of accomplishment.
I ready to read your book. I went to the library but I couldn’t find any of your books, so I requested at least one I could find, bummer. Looks like I will be heading over to ebay and Amazon.
Nice to meet you, Melissa! (Yeah, I appreciate the rest of you too!)
Also, Leticia can you request your library to buy the books? I know many libraries have a suggestion box. I just got an email from a reader who said her library just ordered MORE copies because they were checked out all the time … how cool is that?
