My Current Project

After I finished the baby blanket, I tried an experimental pattern which failed miserably. I only had to spend about an hour on that one to find out it wasn't going to work.

So I started on something that requires nothing but straight lines and some counting to get the lines in the right place.

Here's where I am so far on that blanket.

 

This blanket is a bit over 6 feet long, so you are only seeing part of the work.

 

I'm agonizing over whether I should submit this to a traditional publisher or write up another ebook. My dilemma is that many ereaders don't have the capacity to display color photos.  My other issue is that, while I know there are other people doing this craft, only one has posted the old patterns which she distributes when someone asks, and a convent that sells the finished afghans out of their gift shop.

 

This begs the question of just how technologically savvy are the people who do this. Should I assume they have ereaders at all, or am I better off trying to sell hard copy books and figure a lot of copies will go to libraries?

 

I'd be happy to hear any opinions.

 

Thanks for visiting with me.

Extended description

New graduate Cara discovers that she has an unusual gift that allows her to step through time to help people at critical points in their lives. Cara discovers the long-lost side of her family in Sumer, finds love in the ante-bellum South, and, for a time, makes her home in pre-WWI Europe. Cara finds that even the smallest deed can make a huge difference in the lives of others.

As Cara becomes the mother of three little time walkers, she finds herself chasing her own children through time.

Cara also learns that she isn't going through life on her own. She finds God in the center of time, seeing to everything that happens, and giving her strength for every challenge that she faces.

AWOL

Please forgive me for my long silence on this blog.  I've been doing the story edits and the line edits on a manuscript I hope to send into the world within the next week.

The edits will take a few more hours and then I believe Time Walker: Cara's Story will be in digital format for you to enjoy.

Thanks for visiting with me.
