Now that it is beginning a new year – I hope this post finds you in good health and spirits to take on 2024!

I am praying for all good things to come in 2024 since 2023 has been a tough year for a lot of people – me included. I am feeling better now but not over the hump yet, will be soon.

WIP is going along well with over 21K words and counting on Book 3 of the Gateskin Chronicles Series. I have been trying to work on my book a little each day when I can, but will concentrate more on it once the Christmas decorations are put away and I have some free time.

BOOK EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNER – FINALIST!
5-STAR REVIEW FROM READERS’ FAVORITE BOOK AWARDS!

This is Book 1 of a fantasy series that will have six books in all. In this book learn about the three children of King Gateskin and his wife, Queen Solinara. The children have had powers since they were quite young..

Serena was three years old when she learned of her power to move objects with her mind. Her brother, Simon, can fly and their sister, Catalina, can become invisible or blend into her surroundings. They live with their parents in Sovorotskina, the Land of Light.

With these powers comes responsibility. The children must try to use their powers for the common good and responsibly to help others. The three children befriend a Sprite named Spindle who accompanies them on their adventure. Along the way they meet up with their aunt and uncle, their mother’s brother and his wife, Wizard Hotenfaran and Fairy Procelina. The group must travel into the evil land of Parotovina, Land of Darkness, to save King Gateskin, who was kidnapped, and also rescue some of the descendants of their friends and fellow Sovorotskinans who were captured and taken by the Evil Ones. These descendants have been waiting a long time to be free to return to the villages of their ancestors.

The children have many trials and adventures along the way. Will they be able to rescue their father and fellow Sovorotskinans without endangering their own lives? Will the evil King Kaposkaran and his Queen Beregina stop Serena and her siblings from being successful or will they turn Serena and her siblings to their dark ways?

The adventures continue in this addition of Gateskin Chronicles. Many new characters and creatures are introduced. Spells abound with magic all around. Many visitors come to Sovorotskina looking for asylum from the evil King Kaposkaran of Parotovina. Will King Gateskin accept them all or even be able to trust them not to be spies for the evil King?

Serena uses her powers to assist when wolves come their way. Other creatures are also about and threaten the safety of the village.

Kaposkaran finds himself in trouble when his village is attacked by creatures. Will he turn to Gateskin for help? If he does, what will Gateskin do?

There is a spy about in Sovorotskina. Will the spy be discovered and somehow stopped from undermining the magic of King Gateskin and his family?

It was a lovely Christmas even though many were coughing and trying to get over one virus or another. Hope everyone is over them now. I am trying to stay well and away from crowds. I’m hoping for some cold weather to kill all the germs that are around. We also need some snow! What’s going on? New Hampshire needs snow for our ski trails. We have been getting more rain since the weather has been in the 40’s and 50’s. Yikes, not good!

I miss seeing the pristine look of the first good snowstorm when everything sparkles in the light and looks so beautiful! Sigh! When I was a youngster there was always plenty of snow in the winter to play in, to sled on and lay down to make snow angels. I don’t any of those things now at my age but I love to watch it fall and pile up but not drive or walk in.

I was hoping to feature our first snowstorm here by now but here are some photos of past snowfalls.

Watch for my new book coming in a few months and more books later in the year. I have plenty to do on the back burner and look forward to sharing them with you. Keep reading to chase away the blues of the winter and all the troubles in the world. I pray that you stay well and strong and all your wishes come true in 2024.
