Starting My Fourth Novel

#writing

Novel One, Novel Two, Novel Three . . . Now what?

I’ve eighteen pages of notes on my fourth novel, and it’s time to move location.  Three novels are set in the Purcell Mountains, BC, Canada.

The fourth novel (and I feel like I should play music here) is set in the Bahamas. It’s time for a sailing adventure.

It’s been quite the experience writing about the Purcell’s. A place I lived and loved. An isolated mountain resort provides a great setting for a romantic thriller.

But the winds are changing and pushing me in a new direction. This is not to say I won’t continue to write about BC, only that it’s time to try something new.

New characters, new location, new mystery. It’s all a bit overwhelming, but also fun.

Now to go back and read what I wrote about the writing process and make sure I remember it all.

  1. What a great backdrop for a novel. I’m sure you’ll have fun putting a good mystery together.

  2. This is so exciting! I am looking forward to reading about your process of putting this together.
    The setting alone promises to be enticing reading, and adding a mystery on top of that will make it irresistible. 🙂

  3. Your 4th novel:):):):) I’ve written two completed ones, now working on my 3rd and 4th at the same time . . . will let you know later if that’s a good idea (probably not, lol) ~cheers to all your hard work

    1. Jamie – two novels at one time. That’s great. How do you keep track of the details? I’m a spreadsheet user (addict). Good luck with it. An congrats on finishing 2.
