This book has been quite the learning experience, not just because I struggled with the writing, but because I made so many mistakes in getting it finally published! I looked straight at a mockup of the cover and failed to notice that two sections of it were arguing with each other.

Here’s the blurb. Laurel floats disconnected from her new teaching position at a Catholic school. Homeschooled herself, she questions whether she can fit in. When she rescues children from a car crash the school staff leap to help her. And gossip about it.

An unexpected mentor, her first grade students, and a handsome firefighter all conspire to break through the wall she’s built against the school. She learns to delight in everything from her students to the Christmas pageant. 

As mysterious incidents start to proliferate Laurel struggles for answers. A sudden death brings everything to a head. Can Laurel work out the mystery of who is damaging the school and why, before the body count starts to rise?

If you like young heroines steadfastly working to get things right, you’ll love this cozy voyage of schoolhouse mystery and self-discovery. Pick up a copy today to join Laurel in her new life.

A friend rewrote it for me so it isn’t the one I posted weeks ago. Same story, much better invitation to read.

I visited the doctor the other day and was reminded that it takes months to fully recover from major surgery. The big takeaway is that being overwhelmingly tired all of a sudden, is very normal. But it does cause me to lose track of what I’m doing, right in the middle of editing, or fixing commas, or checking artwork, or making bread. And yes I did completely forget a batch of bread in the mixer.
