Coming Soon: The Magic of the Second Backyard

On February 22nd, my book will [finally] be available! First paperback and hardcover, and on 29th the ebook will be delivered to Kindle readers. Stay tuned for audiobook coming soon too!

I love this book. I love reading this book over and over and over again. Making 9 final drafts never felt like a chore. I learned so much from my first self-publishing experience, I knew this one needed to be better. Hence, 9 final drafts. I tried planning with plotting. I took hard criticism and tried querying for two years. I tripled my beta readers. Everything made it better and I love it even more today than two years ago.

  • First Draft completed: January 2021
    Final Draft completed: February 2024
  • First Draft length: 27,155 words
    Final Draft length: 38,448 words
  • Major changes: Completely removed first chapter, removed plot to COVID, added two side characters, moved chapter 4 to chapter 2, moved chapter 7 to chapter 3.
  • Added pictures with compatible dark mode

I hope you read the first pages and get hooked. I hope you share this with your daughter, niece, or friend. I hope you learn to see the Promise of Spring where you live too.
