Hi All,
Today is the official release day for TREASURE OF EDEN. It's kind of odd, because the bear of the work on that novel was going on a year ago, but that doesn't mean we don't remember it--vividly. We were supposed to turn it in at the end of December 2007, but got an extension to the middle of January.
The road to publishing CHASING EDEN was such a long (and, in retrospect, entertaining) one. That seems like ancient history, since our main preoccupation with BEYOND and TREASURE was having the manuscript ready by deadline. That's a nice change.
They say you should "write what you want to read." So we started out with the goal of writing stories about a protagonist who wrestles with her faith--but her commitment to a higher calling makes her life richer, fuller, more exciting--and infinitely riskier--because, in fact, that is what both B.K. and I have found to be true.
She and I have ended up growing along with Jaime over these last four years. We've had struggles and triumphs, too, and it's been great to have them mirrored in the lives of our protagonists--and, yeah, sometimes in the lives of the antagonists, too.
B.K. and I would like to thank you for being a companion on our journey. And, we still echo the statement at the end of the first book, CHASING EDEN--A life of faith is the grandest adventure.
Godspeed, Sharon and B.K.
