My book reading at the Local Book Fair in the Nanaimo Harbourfront Library went well, but now I find myself in writer’s limbo. In other words, I’m between projects. <\/p>\n\n\n

In October, I published Paper Roses on Stony Mountain,<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>the sequel to Lilacs in the Dust Bowl,<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>and the last book of Lukia’s Family Saga trilogy. Writing three novels of historical and biographical fiction, based on my baba (grandmother) and her family’s life in Ukraine and Canada, took about six years to research and write. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And lately, I’ve spent time spreading the word about my latest novel. I read an excerpt from it at the Nanaimo Library Book Fair, and also one from Sunflowers Under Fire<\/a>,<\/strong> <\/em>the first book in Lukia’s Family Saga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, I love this trailer produced by Sally Roughton. It shows my novel’s theme and highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
