The Two New Women in my Life

There are two women who came into my life about a month ago that I think about all the time. They are the two main characters of my book. Without further ado, let me introduce them to you.

This is Abigale, but everyone knows her as Abby. She's a born and raised New York City girl, a punk, an artist, outspoken and rough around the edges. She clings to her independence, but deeply needs to be loved as well. Her past has left her jaded and she is increasingly unhappy with her present, but the future holds trials that may break her and a love that can heal her heart if she is strong enough to see it through.


Laura is the picture of a sweet country girl. A girl who has had the same friends since childhood and who married her high school sweetheart. A tragic loss has left her heart open and bleeding. As she struggles to come to terms with her present reality, she meets a girl unlike anyone she has ever known. She is swept off her feet, but is her new love capable of giving her the loyalty and intimacy she craves?



These two women are in my thoughts constantly. I wish I could shut out the world and write to my hearts content, but sadly that's not an option for me. I have to write what I can when I can and I just hope I can do them justice.

  2. Ok, now that they're both up, I should say that I can't wait to learn more about THEM! :) I love the fact that you have deep, complex characters. It's so important not to have your characters be 2-dimensional (aka, flat) or as caractures of people. No one wants to read about people who are not believable. These two women, though, are very real and I can't wait to read their story! :)
