As you all know, I love celebrity websites where they can communicate with their fans directly! Shania Twain posted a letter to her fans on her website, apologizing for not releasing new music lately, but she explains that she has been "side-tracked this year."

... I've been inspired by my pain to write and use writing as a
therapy through the suffering... [I]t's been a productive period with so much
emotion trying to find it's way out. However, there is no telling how
long it will take me to actually finish these songs and record them so
they can get out to you.

... [H]ealing is serious business and has taken a lot of the
wind out of my sails, slowing me down at times. ... [A]ll my energy goes to making sure my [son] is healthy and
happy in every way. This is a full time job...but especially difficult when you are battling your own personal crisis
at the same time while trying to spare your child of being affected by
your own suffering."

You can read Shania's entire letter here, including how she's dealt with her personal pain in front of her son, Eja.

It's completely understandable that she's taking her time,  but I bet she'll have some amazing music when she's finished!
