Dalton Cove moves Closer to Publication

 I went away to Cape Cod for five days mid-month and managed to do all the edits I needed to do  in the print manuscript of Dalton Cove. When I got home I finished writing chapter 19, wrote a brief chapter 20 and the book was finished. I formatted the book on Tuesday, uploaded the manuscript on Wednesday, finished designing the cover and ordered a proof copy on Thursday. The proof arrived on Saturday. I'm now reading the printed book nd making additional revisions and edits, plus catching any typos, grammar issues, etc that still remain. With luck I'll be done reading tonight and can begin the corrections and changes to the computer file tomorrow, and upload the revised, polished manuscript by Saturday. Hopefully, next week if all goes well Dalton Cove will go live on Amazon- and then I'll tackle the ebook version!

Dalton Cove is about a young woman who'd moved to the lake to help out her widowed grandmother at the diner she owned with her late husband. Casey Leger's remained there, feeling obligated to help and to keep her grandmother company as she continues grieving for her husband. Next door to the diner is Frost's Boatyard and Repair Shop. Casey's known Dylan Frost for years, since she used to visit her grandparents at the lake and help out in the diner during summers when she was still in school. 

One night Casey witnesses a crime being committed at the Frosts' business and calls the police, however the man sees her and then flees. Shortly afterwards a series of disturbing crimes are committed against Casey an the Frosts. Despite that Casey and Dylan's relationship blossoms into love. Together they try to puzzle out who has a vendetta against them and what set it off, since they'd only been friends when it'd started.

So- Coming Soon!
