Catholic Moms and Destiny Stone
Travelers’ Market received a nice compliments recently; it was selected as book of the month for the Catholic Moms’ Book Club.
I’ve been finishing the third book in the trilogy, Destiny Stone. It’s now complete. Okay–I never really stop tinkering until the very last minute when my publisher says, “enough!”
Writing the last book in a trilogy is an interesting experience. I had to tie up all the loose ends from the previous stories, and I wanted to be sure that each of the character made one last appearance. More than either of the previous books, Destiny Stone is a quest. Timothy, Sarah and Jessica search for the ancient Stone of Destiny with the help of a map cipher. Remember the map Mr. Twig gives them at the end of Travelers’ Market? That map begins a quest that leads the three to Scotland and to the ancient site of McBeth’s castle. Readers will be able to help the three solve the cipher.
Of course, stories never really end with the last page. Astute readers will notice that there is more to Timothy and Jessica’s story and to Sarah’s that happens after the book cover closes, but that, dear reader, is left to your imagination. I hope that there will be word of them again some day, because I would like to see what kind of grown ups they become.
