***New Release*** Lavender Fields

It's been a long time coming, but Lavender Fields is finally here! I took a little bit of a break last year while writing it when I found out that my best friend was diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian Cancer for the second time in two years. My story was written, but with the stories lead dealing with her own battle with Cancer I felt conflicted. My wonderful friend encouraged me to finish the book, so with her blessing I got back to work. Soon after, I was hit with another blow. My father went into the hospital with what they thought were complications from his Autoimmune Disease, only to find out he had advanced staged Cancer. It was so advanced they informed us there was nothing to do to save his life.  He went into hospice care a week later, a week and a half after that we said goodbye to my father. He went home to live with the Angels. I was devastated. Once again Lavender Fields was pushed aside while I tried to figure out my life. I was so afraid to finish this story. Cancer was invading every inch of my life, and my story was the beginning. I cried, and fought with the decision whether or not to finish and publish this book. There would always be more, but after much worry and stress about what to do, I felt my father pushing me to go forward to finish. I wrote my Dedication to my wonderfully, strong, best friend Dalena, but my father is the reason it's here today for everyone to read. I hope that your enjoy Lavender Fields, I will tell you though, make sure you have a box of tissues handy, you'll need them.

Music and the Arts

I have been doing some thinking about adding some more things to me blog. I am a writer, but I also love photography, music and art. I wanted to incorporate more of the crafts that I love into my blog. I will post some photos that I have taken from time to time, some art that I enjoy and some videos. 

Last month my husband and I were in Eureka Springs Arkansas for our 27th wedding anniversary. We rode our motorcycle up there. It was a beautiful and fun ride. While we were there we went to a bar called the Cathouse Lounge where a lot of people who ride like to go and hang out. It was a cool place, fun atmosphere with great music. There was a Bluegrass band  playing that happened to be from our hometown of Springfield Mo. The odds of us going that weekend to that club seeing a band from home were crazy. I loved them! That was when it hit me. I had thought about adding some video blog interviews to my blog. Other authors, artists and musicians, so why not start with Deep Fried Squirrel? Yeah that's their name. Cool band with all string instruments.

I told my husband I was going to ask them if I could do a short video interview for my blog. He laughed at me of course, but I was serious. When their break came I got the nerve to ask them and they said yes! Holy crap they said yes! Ok breath Sheila, you can do this. I wasn't sure exactly what I would ask in less than five minutes so I decided to start with the basics. 

They are great, fun guys. I had such a good time interviewing them even though I was a nervous wreck, which shows. I am so grateful they gave me the opportunity to advance my creativity for my blog.

You can find them on Facebook and their website which they will tell you in the video. Definatly check them out, you won't be sorry.

I am hoping to interview another local band very soon. The Detectives is a band of young people that play music from the 50s 60s and some 70s. They are an incredible group as well. They will be playing again soon in the Springfield Mo. area. 

I'm trying to get the videos uploaded but it seems to be some error on here today so I will have to try again later. Until then go to Facebook and like Deep Fried Squirrels page and go to YouTube and check out some videos that people have posted.

New A Forever Love Anthology Paperback

The A Forever Love Anthology is now out in paperback at Amazon!! You can still get the eBooks individually at Amazon, Barnes and Nobel and All Romance eBooks just click on the book covers on the left hand side of this page and it will  take you straight to Amazon.

I'm very excited about the Anthology being out in paperback and if you would like an autographed copy email me and I can get you a copy for $10 including shipping.

I have new projects that will be out later this year. My next will be out this Aug. called Willoughby Road Summer of Change. It's the story of a young woman who looses her father to cancer. His dying wish was for her to get back to her roots at their families summer home in Bixby. Here is the cover blog.


Catherine Willoughby didn't know where her life was going after her father died. He wanted her have a good life. He wanted her to have a summer at her childhood summer home before coming back to Charleston to run the family Construction Company. Catherine never thought in a million years that one month would change her life forever, but in that month she experiences new friends,love, danger, and loss. Meeting a young handsome Englishman in Bixby West Virginia was not something that happened every day to a young woman. So many things happen in such a short time, but all of these experiences force her to make changes and finally grow up. Journaling has always helped her stay in touch with reality. She always felt that writing down her life kept her from fading away. But after her summer in Bixby, fading away was defiantly something that she would never do, nor would ever want to do. This would be the summer that she finally grew up. That summer on Willoughby Road.
I will attach the cover of Willoughby Road as well. I have submitted a new WIP to my publisher and received an email from her letting me know that I will be receiving a contract for it very soon! Things in the writing world are going very good for me that's for sure and I am having a blast doing what I love, writing Romance. I want to thank everyone that has purchased my books and supported me along this wonderful journey :) Much Love, Sheila
