My first new project is the rewrite of a book-length story, Caroline’s Lighthouse,  which I first wrote in early 1997 when I was 15. By “wrote” I mean the first draft was written in pencil on notebook paper. It’s a teenage love story with tragedy and a ghost story happening in the background. I drew the illustration on the book cover  in 1998 when I was 16 or 17. I am now working on the final rounds of edits and plan to go the Indie publishing route. My goal is to have the book available in made-to-order trade paperback and Kindle editions by the end of 2016. -Brandi Easterling Collins
