I’m still working on a new book, so this is just a quick Friday note, with a few happy things.
1. This shot of my flower bed. I nearly pulled all those yellow primroses this spring because they’d spread so much I thought they were weeds! Goes to show you that patience is a good thing…
2.
So…this weekend, I had my first glorious, no-deadlines, no-edits, no-one-needs-anything Saturday. And how do I spend it?
With Gators.
We had friends in town, so we hunted down an Airboat tour! I strapped into an airboat in the Florida swamp, hair whipping around my head, heading out into the swampy murk to hunt down gators.
I’m loving being back in Florida while we wait for our Minnesota home to be rebuilt (and our newest granddaughter to be born!)
However, I’m being stalked.
By this guy:
And this GUY:
In fact…they’re everywhere! Every night we settle into our hot tub, and apparently that’s the cue for our frog stalkers to gather for the show.
You know what? I did a thing. A big thing. A “Susan-couldn’t-stand-to-make-people-wait-any-longer” thing.
I published Steinbeck A MONTH EARLY!
I know, I know. The original release date for the store wasn’t until next month, and honestly? I hate waiting too.
I feel a little like JoJo here when I have to wait.
I hope you had a great weekend! I spent it in Little Falls, Minnesota at the Mississippi River Readers Retreat. So much fun to hang out with readers! Here are some fabulous shots.
It’s so fun to have reader friends. I did a little contest/game where I described a character and then had them guess who it was.
Happy Tuesday.
This is the last Tuesday I’ll be writing to you from the beach.
I know.
It’s very sad.
We went for our last walk on the beach today. (To be clear, we’re very excited to get back to Minneapolis and our people there. But we will miss our people here…)
(I’m not sure why I look like I didn’t sleep for a week.
Happy Friday!
Oh, how I love Fridays in Florida. (To be fair, I love them in Minnesota, too) and I’m loving them even more with this addition of this fun hot tub!
Hubs and I dreamed of a hot tub…we did not dream about the price, however. So…he came up with a crazy idea…what about one of those inflatable hot tubs?
Hope you had a great week! Sorry we didn’t touch base last week, I was in Florida at a marketing conference learning way too much, and now my brain is exploding. But I’m working on advertising material for Creed, the finale book in the Minnesota Marshalls series!
I learned a few tricks last week and I’m experimenting with some cool new headlines and some images.
So, first, thank you for all the sweet reviews about Fraser! He’s quietly been climbing the charts while you’ve been leaving kind reviews, and I’m grateful.
So, I’m just back from a fun writing retreat with 8 authors and my business partner for a publishing company I run (Sunrise Publishing) – and we got to chatting about book themes,
Hey friends,
I’m hanging at Disney Springs with my grand daughter Addie….
And yes, I’ve probably spent waaaay too much money…but I’m saving $4.99 to preorder Can’t Buy Me Love, the next book in the rebooted Deep Haven series! (Out tomorrow, so I don’t have long to wait..yay!!)
What book you say?
