February 2018 Writing Update: Say, How IS the New Book Coming?

February 22, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek Leave a Comment

Why, thanks for asking. Well first, I’ve gotten into a daily habit of writing 1,000 words, and that’s really helped keep the momentum going. Second, I’m still working on my new three-book series, “Secrets of Redemption.” The first book, “It Began with a Lie,” is pretty much done. I thought it WAS done a few […]

The Stolen Twin

I actually wrote “The Stolen Twin” over 10 years ago. And then I stuffed in a desk drawer (well, to be completely honest, I actually stuffed it into a file on my computer, but that doesn’t have the same impact as stuffing it in a desk drawer) and left it there for over 10 years. […]
