Taking Stock. A moment of reflecting on what was, what is, and what is yet to come.

​I'm taking some time around the fire today to relax and contemplate my everything that is happening. It's a good thing. Sometime you need to take stock. Hah! Stock leads me to my exciting announcement.

I had a great time at Jazz House's Release party. You can check it out here www.facebook.com/events/362139512766952/ Such fun but I was exhausted. The night before the release, little sleep happened. A book release is nerve-wracking. Facebook parties are nerve-wracking.

It's hard to believe the summer is almost over. We have a few trips left before the year is out, but here's a taste of what Pete and I have been up to. We spent several days in Maine and then Cape Cod. Our camp map is almost filled in for the East Coast. Only Rhode Island and New Hampshire remain. We hope to get there next summer. What's your summer been like? Have you taken any adventures? What books have you read? Here's some pictures of my latest exploits.

What's coming down the line for moi? 
So with Jazz House out of the gate, Kisa's off to the editor, Sophia's Magics Beans in galley (hopefully final), I'm working on Sea Hunter which is coming out next March. Orsolo and Rhian are works in progress, and I hope to get started on Honky Tonk House book three in my Impact series. 
We do have a few camping trips this fall. The list is the Poconos, Hershey Pa, Lancaster Pa, and finishing up with Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. We'll be home for November and December then off to Florida in 2023.
Phew! Retirement is busy, huh?
Around The Fire has a full roster of Author interviews and Saturday's will be chock full of new releases for you to check out. 
I'd like to share love this quote. Not only because fall is nearly on us but because we should all take time to enjoy each day. 
“Live in each season as it passes: breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit.” – Henry David Thoreau
Until next time.
