"Meet My Character (s)" Blog Hop

Hello All,

Author Cindy Amrhein (her blog: http://historysleuth.blogspot.com/2014/07/meet-my-character-blog-tour.html) invited me to participated in this tour.  I am grateful for the opportunity to share in something like this.  I am excited about this.  I love my characters and these sisters have a very special place in my heart. 

1) What is the name of your character? Is he/she fictional or a historic person? Nyema Dawn Norton is a fictional person.
2) When and where is the story set? The time of the story is within the last two years and the setting is a place called Tempa, Florida.
3) What should we know about him/her? Nyema is a Child Psychologist and usually the voice of reason with her sisters.  She may come off as overly educated and a bit stiff but she is a big kid at heart once you get to know her.
4) What is the main conflict? What messes up his/her life?  Nyema was born a twin.  Her twin died after only sixteen years of life.  It impacted all of the sisters but it hit her hardest.  She is a single mother of one beautiful little girl.  The father of her child died before their daughter, Nakia, was born.  Nyema knows loss and is very protective of her heart because of it. 
5) What is the personal goal of the character? Nyema's personal goal is to just get through life without focusing on the ever present pain that her losses have left her with.  The other goal is avoid establishing another relationship.  It is not something that she wants or feels necessary in her life. 
6) Is there a working title for this novel, and can we read more about it?  Oh that's simple, Nyema (The Norton Sisters, Book 3).  If you follow my blog or subscribe to my newsletter then you will be able to read the first chapter or a blurb as they become available.
7) When can we expect the book to be published? September 25th of this year.

Sometimes facelifts are good...

Over the course of the next month or so my focus will be to go back through my works and fine tune some things that I was unable to the first time through.  Some editing will be done to the works.  Other changes will come in the form of the covers of the books.  I'm excited about this time as I continued to better myself and my works.  I am also looking forward to releasing the 2nd books in all of my series.  Once the second books are out then the focus will be on the individual series.  The first to monopolize my time (because they've already occupied my mind) will be The Norton Sisters series.  They have a very special plane in my heart and I look forward to completing each of their individual stories.

So great things to come!!  I also am happy to announce that I am an author under Tattered Press Publishing. I am expecting even greater things to come from this latest business relationship.
