Starting to Feel the Stress
Yesterday I used my Mother’s Day gift certificate and spent two glorious hours getting pampered from head to toe with a body and face renewal. I was so relaxed when I got home, it was easy to fall asleep.
Well, today the stress of the upcoming ACFW conference is hitting. Many of you know I set aside my writing to get my priorities in order, and I’ve just begun to work on my WIPs again. Problem is, the writer’s conference is less than a week away, and after six months of NOT writing, I don’t feel prepared. Then again, I really don’t have anything to pitch since nothing is complete, and I’m not making the same mistake twice (Trying to sell a book before it’s actually written.)
But just so I don’t look like a complete idot, I want to be prepared to talk about what I’m working on. So here’s the first of several to come in the next day or so.
It’s for a cozy momlit mystery. What do you think? Would you want to read more?
To unearth a killer, you have to get your fingernails dirty.
An image-conscious archeology professor tries to hold her family together after her husband’s untimely death by pretending everything is okay. Then her husband’s reputation is questioned and his colleague is found murdered.
Forced to trust God again, she must set aside her vanity and get her hands dirty to unearth the killer and preserve her husband’s good name. But will she be able to do it all before her kid’s carpool and still make it to her weekly nail appointment on time?
