Dreaming about what’s next…

December 12, 2024 By Cara Putman

Last week I got my book turned in!

Y’all, that is such a good feeling. As my husband put it, a monkey is off my back. I might even call it a gorilla.

But now it’s time to dream about what my next series and books are. I have some ideas, but they are glimmers. I might want to do something of a caper. I have some WWII ideas. I want to braid contemporary and historical together. There are so many ideas in my mind. So I come to you with proverbial hat in hand.

When you think of a Cara Putman book, what do you imagine?

I remember my friend Brandilyn Collins talking about how her readers told her her books were seatbelt suspense. That’s a great visual. Do y’all have something like that when you think of mine? I’d love to know and I’d be so grateful as I begin dreaming up what to write next…

Also, Silver Bell Secrets is now available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Merry Christmas!
