Writing, Writing, Writing, Writing, Writing

This blog almost didn't get written because Sunday is Fiorella's hair-wash and clean-up day. Also, she has a lot on her hands right now. Today was dedicated to clearing out more drawers in her office, a Zoom get-together, and Lolly. Yes, at last, Fio is working on the book she started four years ago, when she was told that it was ahead of its time. Now she's on the last three chapters--about sixty pages to go.
     Fio's has told you quite a bit about Lolly so far--that she's petite, blonde, sexy, and willful, but nothing about Cotton, the male lead. Actually, he's the very man Lolly shouldn't be attracted to--a serious paleontologist several years older than she is. But fate has a way of bringing like and unlike together. Especially when a baby is involved.
      Fiorella wants to get this book finished and published as soon as she can because she's already blocked out Sarah's story, which will probably be a novella (40,000 words).
     And what will come after that, you ask. Well, Fio has at least three more completed books that she needs to spiff up before they are published, and there are many more stories rolling around in her head. Then there are the short stories that crowd two of her file drawers. And did she mention the poetry?
     Before she leaves, Fiorella will give you a little peak at her heroine:
With her hair tumbling over her shoulders like a shower of gold, so soft and smelling of springtime, she'd never looked more enticing, but he'd settled her down on his couch, not his bed...hadn't he?
