By the time you read this, I am on a plane headed to New Zealand — yes, THAT New Zealand — for a research and business trip. And yes, Hobbiton is absolutely on the itinerary. 
(this is me as a Hobbit according to ChaptGpt. Thankyou. Thank you very much…)

I’ve been packing for weeks (okay, days — but I’ve been thinking about packing for weeks), and my suitcase is a beautiful disaster of notebooks, comfortable shoes, and not-sure-what-to wear options for early winter/late fall?? In New Zealand. The most important thing I packed? My Kindle. Fully loaded. Obs. 
More adventures to come — I’ll be sharing along the way!

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect weekend read, your wait is officially over. Hammer and Sierra’s story — second chances, Rocky Mountain danger, a secret that changes everything — is live and ready for you on Kindle Unlimited right now.
I’ve been filling up my own Kindle with great books for this trip. I’ve got a Rachel Hauck book (her new To Win a Crown!)

and…I’m reading this behemoth…

…in anticipation for a new series I’m writing for next year. (curious? stay tuned!!)
I love reading on planes. There is nothing better than a good story at 30,000 feet. I hope Renegade makes your list. 
By the way, last years trip to Australia shows up in the Hunt for Alan Martin – SOUTH. (still on preorder). Want to make sure you’re caught up? Grab North on Amazon (or your favorite retailer) and EAST on the SMWF Store!
Pictures coming soon!
XOXO!
