Old Friends and A Book

As you all know, this past summer I spent in Cape May writing a novel.  My time there forever changed me.  The warm people that I met at the Ocean Club Hotel; owners,guests and hotel staff were placed strategically in my path with a purpose. With that visit began the seed of what is about to happen. The Beach at Montenegro will come to life for me allowing me to see it through the eyes of my protagonists.

I am planning to visit a very special place...with a very special person....to visit very special friends...to do something very important to me.  I am aware that this is not the best sentence...especially for someone who writes...but I am beyond excited.  This journey is the finishing touch on this novel. I will be privy to history firsthand and enjoy it in the company of people who grew up in the Balkans. Nail, Donita, Durim, and Stefanie....(my little gypsy family from around the world) I cannot wait to see you again...share a bottle of wine, share old memories and make lots of new ones. Natasha I hope you can meet us over there.  It wouldn't be the same without you!

We are doing something unusual and  exciting and I cannot wait to share it when we return. One thing I can tell you is that I plan to end up in Capri where I will put the finishing touches and write the final chapter. The story however, I hope with touch your hearts forever and stay with you through your own journey in life.

This has been awhile coming to fruition and I feel blessed to have met so many wonderful people of the world who have taken me into their hearts and shared their wonderful lives with me.  Through them and with them, I am realizing a dream and feeding my soul. Thank you for being part of my journey.
