Oh where do I start? Things have been happening so fast around me lately that I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all. I will have a new cover reveal next week for my upcoming release in April of SECOND CHANCES. I'm so excited about this book. As the title suggest this is symbolic of so much in my life right now and second chances going on.

SECOND CHANCES will be released in April and should be up for pre-order soon (just waiting on the cover). I also am involved in a box set, which TRUSTING LOVE will be included along with nine other authors and their books. Keep an eye out for information on that, which will be up for pre-order in April.

Beyond that, A TIME TO HEAL is looking like it will be released in late September. I am wrapping up writing A FINE LINE (look for it in early 2016) and am anxious to start writing FINALLY HOME, which will be a little different from the rest of my books. No details yet, but I think you will love it!

So on top of all the writing news above, I am in the process of preparing my house to go on the market. Once my son graduates in June, I will be looking at moving to Tennessee and getting settled down there in my role as full time author. I'm so excited for this move, yet it is scary at the same time. There are a lot of changes going on and thankfully I can focus on all the positive.

I sit here this morning watching more snow fall down. Winters in New England are long and tedious, and each winter I sit here and wonder why do I live in this area of the country when I hate winter so much.

This is the year for that to change for me. Plans are in motion for downsizing and moving to a warmer climate as my kids leave the nest. Two out of three are already gone and one more remains. He will be graduating in June and then on to bigger and better things for him. It's bittersweet for me to look at my children who have been my life for the past 24 years and see them as adults. I am so enjoying having adult children, but when my youngest turned 18 last week, it struck me that they are all grown up. Two things hit me with that realization. One, I really do love having adult children even if I do miss the age of snuggling and wanting to spend time with me and two, I'm at a phase in my life where I can be a little selfish and do what I want, go where I want and for the first time in my adult life, not be responsible for anyone but myself. It's a strange feeling.

I can spend more time holed away writing and with that course, schedule at least two releases a year for my books. So I plan out my writing schedules and my release dates and with that comes another realization that I am about to make my dreams come true and be a full time writer. Wow--honestly I wasn't sure that day would ever come, but here it is basically and within the next year I will be able to write full time.

So what's new for Emma Leigh Reed, author? SECOND CHANCES is scheduled to be released in April 2015 and A TIME TO HEAL scheduled for late summer/early fall. In 2016, you can look for A FINE LINE and COMING HOME. There will also be some new projects started that I can't talk about yet, but be sure to look for news regarding those. As always, you can find me on Facebook or sign up for my newsletter to stay better informed and for some special surprises that come to only my newsletter subscribers.

Here is to a bright and busy 2015!
