So recently there’s been this trend where authors show their workspace. And to be honest, I’ve been a little shy to do that because in the raw truth…
I’m more of a horizontal organizer.
And I’m not a minimalist.
And I’m also a bit of a DIY gal…
So anyway,
Imma be honest.
It just doesn’t feel right for the world to keep plodding on with so much suffering going on right now. Terrible flooding, loss of life in the south, after Hurricane Helene. Our troops deploying to the Middle East (not to mention the suffering there, and in other countries).
Anyway,
I’m back from Awesome Australia…
I love this view from our hotel in beautiful Sydney.
What I DON’T love is the JET LAG from Australia. Holy Cannoli, it’s been four days and I’m either waking up at 3 AM, wide awake and ready to work…
Or I force myself asleep and wake up at 10 AM,
You know, every time I come to house-sit/dog-sit for Susie, it seems that I get caught up in a whirlwind of craziness:
Welcome to Aussie Jo’s Wildlife Bonanza!
I’m Aussie Jo, and that’s a sentient floating arm, and we’re here to take you on the adventure of your life as we study the fascinating life of one of readers’ favorite creatures, the Continent-Hopping Susie! Let’s get a closer look!
Crikey! Would you look at that!
Happy Friday! Susie and Andrew have had quite the week in Australia.
But as I looked through all the lovely pictures from their adventures, I realized they were all missing one important thing….me.
After all, I am Susie’s assistant. I should go where she goes.
…So I fixed them.
As you can see….
We’re very excited today!
Why? Because Susie’s next book in the Alaska Air One Rescue series, One Last Stand, is available now in the Susan May Warren Store!
And you know what that means.
Guess who’s back?!
That’s right, it’s another exciting Sarah and Spoopy newsletter takeover! Right now, Susie is flying across the ocean, ready to touch down in the Land Down Under and she’s already having a blast…the kind of fun you wouldn’t catch me having in a million years…
She’s learning…for fun.
It’s project day here—because I finished my first three chapters of a new book (yay)! More on that in October.
In the meantime, I’m working with my amazing sister-in-law to overhaul my front garden. (Let’s use the term garden real loosely. More like, my sorry attempt at keeping flowers alive…) But this time will be different!
Let’s start with a little Tapas.
These are Potatoes Bravas, a treat from Catalonia (Barcelona) that my husband is perfecting. Tapas are “small plates,” aka appetizer-sized meals. Tasty morsels of goodness to share with friends.
I promise this has a point.
So yes, I finished a book in four days.
