7/31/25 – Are you melting yet? I truly hate the heat… I’m dreaming of falling leaves and sweater weather!!

Hey there happy reader,

I can’t take much more of this oppressively humid summer heat. From the minute I step outside I feel like a wilted and soggy mess, and I count down the seconds until I can be back inside the air conditioning. Anyone else feeling this way? I’m longing for sweater weather!

I know that come February I’ll be cursing myself for feeling this way, but seriously… how much iced coffee can a girl drink?

I’ll stop complaining now and share some fun news… 

Here are two more new book covers for the re-release of “Perfectly Polite” and “Fabulously Flirty,” and I love them both! I think that the artist has truly captured the fun nature of these titles. I hope you like them as well!!

I look back at these books with such affection. 

I wrote them the year my sons were getting married (ninety days apart on two separate continents!) and I was obsessed with all the wedding related details that were constantly on my mind. It was a crazy time with a packed to-do list the length of my kitchen counter, and while I’m truly happy with how those two events turned out, I’m even happier that all of that is behind me!

Crazy, though… my husband and I are invited to six weddings in the coming months. I’ve got to dust my dancing shoes off and figure out what I’m going to wear, lol! Whatever I choose, I’ll post some pictures here…

For now, I’m going back down to my cave to write! My work-in-progress, “Below the Horizon,” is morphing into quite the page-turner. I can’t wait to share some of it with you in the coming weeks!
