Back From the Dead

The writer in me loves this picture, so had to find a good home for it. My "Back From the Dead" blog seemed perfect! 

And I am back, at least I am trying to be back. I was so "blown away" during October I didn't land on my feet until now. New year, new resolution, right? Yes. WRITE! that is. 

My first publication has been undergoing "audio" translation, which means I've had to listen to and approve each chapter as it was completed by the voice actress. Personally, I love the soft Persian accent she uses for my novel, much of which takes place in Egypt, and whose immortal characters herald back to ancient Persian roots.

But even more importantly for me as a writer is the engagement that was renewed with my characters. Since this is a series, it really made my imagination fuel up. I even dreamed about the main character of book two, and got a great idea for a plot twist that is both timely and invigorating.  

I actually can't wait to delve back into this novel. Here's to your New Year's writing resolutions!
