May – June 21st 2010,
Dear Readers,
My apologies for being such a delinquent blogger this past, er, month and a half! I’ve been swamped with edits for my second book, CARIBBEAN HIDEAWAYS and new text for my third book, ENGLISH HIDEAWAYS.

I’m very happy to report that Caribbean Hideaways has been shipped off to the printer and is due out in stores OCTOBER. (You can pre-order it on Amazon if you click on the title above)Â As you can already infer, I will be posting about the upcoming publicity tour and various signing dates. I hope you’ll come out.

I’m also thrilled that I’ve finished the first draft text of English Hideaways (that’s over 35,000 words!) and am awaiting return from the copyeditor. I’m nowhere near done as I still have to craft the intro and the editing process is equally challenging (I could re-write til the cows come home!).
With both books in relatively good shape, I feel as if I’ve crossed the first big hurdle and can now focus on the upcoming arrival of what everyone says, will be my greatest achievement…

Any day now....baby van Reesema will appear!
