Unfortunately, four weeks ago, I was hit with a case of pneumonia that would NOT leave despite three rounds of antibiotics. I feared the pneumonia bugs had decided they loved me and wanted to stay forever.
This week, however, I finally feel that life will continue, and I have energy to write to you!
What was I thinking of while dragging myself from my sickbed to work and back for the past four weeks? My current manuscript, among other things. The Blessing is coming along nicely despite my endless bunny trails in the name of research. Because I am a visual person, I wanted some imagery to study while finishing May Somerville's story, so I raided Shutterstock's endless files and pieced together this rough little (first draft) mockup.
It's not a cover.
Not even close.However, this IS close to what I see when I think of May Somerville standing in the beautiful Colorado mountains near the story's end, finally coming to terms with life's harsh realities.
Don't worry. She's not as tranquil as she seems--this image is missing a rifle. After all, my post-pneumonia creative energy still has its limits! *Sickly author sipping herbal tea.*

So glad that you are finally feeling a bit better :)
Optimistic Existentialist, thank you!
It's good to feel energetic again. By the way, if anyone coughs around you, RUN!
You don't want this pneumonia. We're planning to get the shots as soon as we've fully recovered.
Blessings for your Sunday!
That's awful! I'm glad you're doing better and glad to hear about the new book.
Rebekah, thank you! Yes, still have a cough, but the energy is returning and I'm so grateful! Stay well, and have an incredible, blessed week!
Enjoying writing the new book--finishing chapter 23 tonight.
I hope that you are still continuing to feel better Kacy :)
