I know we didn’t chat last week. I blame my daughter, who went on vacation, and my current story which sucked me in and wouldn’t let me go. (in a good way. )
She did, however, send me this darling pix of JoJo.
That right there is a girl who knows exactly what she loves,
I dunno about you, but I’m ready for the weekend.
I spend the first week of every month doing all my non-writing work – all my accounting, analyzing and creating advertising, line edits, reading books for editorial feedback (for Sunrise Publishing), sometimes reading books for endorsement, and organizing tasks for the rest of the month.
So…It’s a good day to celebrate!
Why are we celebrating?
Because Scent of Hope is OUT. Right now. Book 2 of the Call of the Wild series.
Two broken hearts. One deadly mission. And one very good avalanche dog named Orlando standing between them and a killer.
Happy Friday!
I’m soooo ready for this weekend, having edited about 200 pages since Tuesday.
My brain is mush. (but in a good way. A good mushy way where it’s full of story and fun dialogue and endearing characters, and a high stakes global plot…)
So, I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
Hope you had a lovely weekend! I was deeply moved by some of the speeches given at the Arlington Memorial event. I’m so grateful for the sacrifice of so many to preserve our country.
We had a fun weekend. Headed over to my brother’s house for a cookout on Sunday night.
(Me and my niece Ellie with the s’more she made me!)
And on Monday,
Happy Friday.
Okay, I admit it – I’m tired. I might have overworked this week, trying to catch up from last week, (I did write all the brains out of my head, and my latest rough draft is cooling. It’s book one in my 2027 series…I’ll give you a hint. There might be a certain fella named Royal as the headliner…) and I’m so looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
If you read last Friday’s newsletter, you KNOW.
You know that I came home to a bazillion boxes. No, we didn’t move. If you recall (and it’s okay if you blocked it out — I tried to. Oh, I tried. If you remember, I ran away to Florida) — our house flooded while we were gallivanting around Greece last summer.
Hi Rel!
It’s Sarah, popping in on Susie’s behalf this week because, well… she’s been a little busy. You may remember that last year while she was happily frolicking across Spain (you can imagine Susie Frolicking, right?), her refrigerator was quietly flooding her house — which led to a complete gut and renovation.
How did your week go?
Mine…well, it started well. I escaped with my grandkids for a couple nights at the Hilton by SeaWorld in Orlando — and oh, we had fun. I did absolutely nothing productive (although I feel like playing with my grandkids counts as super productive!) Pool time, sunshine, grandkids splashing around,
It’s happening!
We broke ground on our home addition (my new office!) — and by “broke ground” I mean a very large machine showed up, made a lot of noise, and now I have a pile of gravel and some lumber and am desperately holding onto the hope that’s is going to be fabulous.
