A Bridge Home: A Novel Excerpt

For the past year, “Wanderlust and Words” has been my Substack platform for sharing monthly newsletters filled with literary musings, my novel’s journey from contract, publication, and marketing as well as travel adventures. However, these stories haven’t been easily searchable on Google. To improve accessibility, I’m bringing a couple of them to my blog this month.

Wanderlust & Words

Hello Readers,

After eleven years of blogging and 546 posts, I am moving to another platform.

I’m closing out the blog page and moving to Substack.com where you can find me at Wanderlust & Words. When you click on the link, it will take you to my last post. Scroll to the bottom and hit the Subscribe button. That’s it. Thank you!

This is what I write about on Wanderlust and Words:

Books, travel adventures & insights on writing, publishing, and life’s later chapters. Weaving tales of hope and resilience in YA novels.”

I’m making a switch to write about topics close to my heart: books, writing, travel, and family.

Embark on a journey with me as a writer, traveler, and parent, from books and adventures to insights on writing, publishing, and life’s later chapters. Occasionally, I’ll talk about my novels. My next book, A Bridge Home, is a historical fiction set in the early 1970s, scheduled for May 31, 2024.

The Home, About, and Book News menus will remain here with WordPress. On the Home page, there will no longer be a subscription page for a prequel to my novel, The Garden of Second Chances.

As I make this transition, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continuous support. Your readership has been the driving force behind my growth as a writer, and I would be honored to have you join me by reading my posts on this new platform.

Newsletter subscribers will transfer to Substack.com but like every platform, you can unsubscribe if you wish. Also, you might get a couple of emails from Substack about my move. Sorry, I can’t avoid those emails. The company sends them out.

Thank you for being a part of my blogging journey, and I look forward to welcoming you to my new Substack home.

With warmest regards,

Mona
