For the past eight years, I have been writing a historical novel about an extraordinary woman, Catalyntje Trico, who lived around 400 years ago in the Dutch Colony of New Netherland, which today is New York. Last night, I completed the final edits, so I am ready to move into the publishing phase. 

For the past several months, I have been researching how to negotiate my way through the publishing process. Now, I only have a few tasks to check off my list before I have everything completed for my book, which will then be available for you to read.

Writing this novel has been an incredible experience, and I have enjoyed every step of the process. I am excited to share my book with all of you and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it.
