Pull up a chair — the meeting’s already started.
This is what a Susan May Warren Fiction morning meeting looks like: three generations, one very small chairwoman running a tight agenda (JoJo does not tolerate rabbit trails), and enough coffee to reanimate the dead. Here’s our meeting minutes.
Agenda Item one: The garage lives.

Which is how we ended up watching The Sheep Detectives.
So, I’m back from an amazing ACFW conference, hanging out with all my author friends, brainstorming new novel ideas with my brilliant Sunrise Publishing authors, and eating way too much delicious food from the Peabody hotel.

Seven books. All releasing in 2027. International,
It’s a rather gloomy day here in Minnesota. I’m not complaining—I love rainy days. And my pajamas. Rainy days and pajamas. That’s where we’re at today.
I’m sitting here with my coffee, reflecting on July. It was a good month. We attended two family reunions, hung out in Pennsylvania with friends, visited Constitution square and installed a sprinkler system in our garden (actually hubs did that,
Okay, it’s been HOT this week at our house. Mostly because today, we discovered our bedroom AC wasn’t working. Whoops.
