Good News – Bad News

Good news first, friends. Drum roll. My publisher, Kregel, is contracting me for Book One, Trouble in Tacoma as well as Book Two [unnamed at this point]. I finished book one so I will be able to send the ms in by February 2026. Bad news: They do stuff way ahead of time. I wasContinue reading “Good News – Bad News”

A Sneak Peek

I have been remiss in posting the past couple of weeks. Instead, I’ve been working feverishly on the new Jenny book, Trouble in Tacoma. And I am beginning to completely overhaul my (main) website. My publisher, Kregel, has not gotten back to me . . . yet . . . about whether they are pickingContinue reading “A Sneak Peek”

Mrs. M Writes HOW??

I got an interesting comment/question this week and Aunie asked if I could answer in a blog post. Well sure. No problem. Here is Aunie’s initial comment: Hey Mrs. M! I LOVE the Circle C books. Definitely one of my favorite series of all time and not just saying that! I am also an authorContinue reading “Mrs. M Writes HOW??”

New Series: Ready, Set, Go!

Then, Lord willing, I will send it to my publisher this fall, to see if they want to pick it up and publish it. It will be middle-gradeContinue reading “New Series: Ready, Set, Go!”

New Jenny Grant Covers

I confess, I have not yet written a word (except that 1,000 words from chapter one of Trouble in Tacoma). But I tweaked and redid the covers. Does that count? LOL I tried to make the cover “cleaner,” i.e. with less borders and extras. I minimized the logo to kind of match the Circle CContinue reading “New Jenny Grant Covers”

Jenny’s Family

You can take a peek at Jenny’s family. I created a PDF file with her mother and father, grandfather and grandmother, her brothers, and even her old sister, who died before the age of two (yeah, I’m making all of this up). I just thought it would be fun to share. The PDF file alsoContinue reading “Jenny’s Family”

A New Book Series?

Maybe! Maybe not. It all depends on whether I can get excited about writing a new series. The other day, one of my Circle C characters, Jenny Grant to be exact, invaded my mental life (thanks to an author friend) with this rampaging plea. It sounds like Jenny wants a series of her own. (KeepContinue reading “A New Book Series?”
