As we sit here shivering this morning, I thought I'd post a peaceful bit of video from the gentle waves of Lake Erie during warmer months. Also, this is from the beach at Presque Isle State Park, which is a featured location in the Detective Honeywell Mysteries. #LakeErie #BookSky

It's my hubby's annual camping trip w/ the guys & I have the house to myself. I'm taking advantage by READING. Currently, I'm finishing up Julia Spencer-Fleming's latest, & I'm debating what to read next. What are YOU reading this weekend, or what would you recommend from your recent reading lists?

Spent this afternoon hanging out at my childhood library for their big fundraiser. I used to sit in this same spot as a kid, exploring the world through books. Now I'm here with 17 published novels. Full circle moment. #BookSky #ilovelibraries

Writing madness. I have a new book coming out this Friday. I'm on the big push to meet my deadline on December 1. And I have another book releasing next month. Basically, I'm talking & blogging about 2 different books while editing another. #writingcommunity #BookSky

Late summer, early fall. I love the peace of being outside on a gorgeous day and soaking in the beauty of nature.

This morning, I wrote my favorite two words. The End. Which, of course, it isn't because now the real work of revision begins. #amwriting #writingcommunity

I hit the 80K word point in my WIP. It's really rough, but that's what revision is for. #amwriting #writingcommunity

15 years ago today, the Universal Cat Distribution System deposited this tiny, wormy, flea-infested little one on our front porch. I tried to find a home for her, but Kensi had already decided THIS was home and I was her human. I've learned to never question her again.

Still on target to finish this first draft by August 31. I'm solidly in the 3rd act and the pace is picking up. My favorite part of the drafting process. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Time to celebrate. I turned in my proofread of No Stone Left Unturned this morning, which means I'm back to working on only ONE book for a while. Bonus: I'd been away from Stone long enough to have fresh eyes, & I have to say, I'm kinda happy with it! #booksky #writingcommunity

I'm working on 2 books this week. Still drafting one, doing (I hope!) the final proofread on another. So if I'm slow responding to questions or emails, that's why. #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

It's that time of year. The garden is overflowing with zucchini and yellow squash. Dinner today used 2 of them. Shrimp curry with veggies.

I'm looking forward to joining the amazing Shari Lapena in conversation this evening about her new thriller, SHE DIDN'T SEE IT COMING. But first, I need to pound out 1000 words of my own to keep on target. #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky

Kensi Kitty doesn't want to get out of bed. Just wants to hide under the sheets. She truly is my spirit animal.
