Hello Spring of 2019! :)

Hi!

I'm a couple of days late with the spring newsletter, but I'm here :)

How are you?!

We've been busy with good things and not so good things. My little girl broke her arm at school. Swings are evil. I will leave it at that... :/

I'm working for the Army again -- gotta fund that writing habit ;)

All jokes aside, I love doing it. Army public affairs is one of the coolest things that has ever happened in my life, and next year I should be getting my ten-year service pin. It's taking me twenty years to get it with all my baby breaks and hubby-is-deployed breaks, but I'm getting there.

On the writing front, things are hot and heavy too. I received my editorial letter for Desert Willow and am knee-deep in rewrites. It's really coming together, and I'm excited to have this book baby in the making. February 2020, here we come!

My agent is pitching a story idea that I'm really excited about (not Kindred Spirits -- that one is on hold for now). We should know if it's a go or a no-go in late April or early May. Oh, I hope it works!

Have a wonderful season, friends! Have a great spring break, and for those of us with kids, may the school year end well. Let the vacation planning begin :)

Much love,

Patricia

Aos amantes de um bom romance: Temos a leitura perfeita!
"Terminei o livro bem apaixonadinha, e confesso que no começo fiquei com certo medo de não ter empatia com os personagens, mas como disse, personagens que evoluem sempre me cativam. É uma história que aborda alguns temas importantes e que achei bem legais no livro. Terminei gostando bastante da leitura e recomendando a quem gosta de triângulos amorosos". O livro “Tempo de dançar” você pode comprar por aqui: https://goo.gl/WqPUDJ

#Fashion

I'm no fashion guru, but this Marchesa Collection is so gorgeous! I just had to share.

They call it a pre-fall collection, but it looks like a spring one to no-fashion-guru me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)

* This was shared on social media by my publisher. I thought this was funny since I got a couple of "meh" reviews this year... :/
