More Work on Chap. 3 and the Book Cover

After a trying week, it's finally the weekend. I'm hoping to develop more of chapter three tonight and tomorrow so I can begin to delve more into the story that will be one of two major storylines within this particular book.

While I won't go into details, I will say that Kate has some pretty serious decisions to make, as does someone close to her. Two new families will be introduced, the Conner family and the Parker family. The Parker family will have one that will be followed into at least the next book if not the next two. The Conner family will only be in this newest book, "The Heart Broken", and will delve into a pretty dark area that has invaded quite a few homes over the centuries. As with the first book, the stories will all parallel or at least touch base with issues/events that occurred within my Allgood, Bruner, Knott, Lynch, Blissett, St. Clair, Kasey, Hall, Prather, VanMeter, Milburn, and allied family lines. So while it might seem far fetched, it's very possible that the story/scenario is something that happened anytime over the past 200 years.

I'm also planning on doing the story of my g-grandmother's brother and his wife, half brother and his wife. It's going to take a little bit of planning, talking to family, and really getting a sense and handle on their lives, as they all died between 1963 and 1986, which was long before I began researching. I want to do them justice, so I may not do them "specifically" but individuals who greatly resemble them. The last thing I want to do is upset and anger their descendants who I look to as some of my closest family/friends.

Heading out for now... need to get writing!
