Where am I going now?

My writing life never seems to stop. I always have something new on my plate and right now is no exception. I have so many writing projects ahead of me, I sometimes wonder if I wil get to them all. Add in the fact that I am writing for both Harlequin and Avalon and things get really hectic.

So, this weekend I sat down to make a plan. On tap next is Book 2 of the new Victorian series I am writing for Avalon. Really excited about this one since I get to explore some new historical territory including Victorian San Francicso. Hmmmm, research this summer?

Then it is back to Harlequin for a couple more projects with my favorite characters. Yes, Crispin is getting his own story as well as Jack and Dulci, and Beldon and Lilya.

I guess, if there was one thing I would recommend to any new writer, it would be to have a plan. Know where you are going to and how you are going to get there. I know I have to when I balance my work schedule and my family life. Still, it is possible.

Let me know how you balance your life? If you are a writer, where are you heading to and how do you plan on getting there?

Day 4 of the Viscountdown!: The Bickford Fuse

On p. 185 in Chapter 14, Valerian and Phillippa and her brother, Beldon, have a dinner conversation about a man named Bickford who is patenting a new kind of fuse for blasting in the mines. Valerian and Beldon decide to ride over the next day and talk with him about his invention. The Bickford fuse was a big step forward for mining safety since it took away a significant amount of risk miners faced when lighting the traditional reed fuses. Bickford did exist, he did craft this fuse and did design his own production line for mass producing that fuse in the 1830s.
