Some Random Thoughts
Today, I share some ramblings:
Patterned After Death is reviewed on Escape with Dollycas today. There’s also a guest post from me, and a chance to win a copy of the book. So check it out here. I had a lovely evening last night with three old friends (two as far back as 4th grade, and one to high school). It was great to catch up…but UGH that we didn’t think to take a picture. The temperature gage in my car yesterday hit 100. It’s really hard to decrease your chocolate intake when there’s st...

Back In The Saddle Again
While my “summer off” to hang with the kids/find me doesn’t really start for a few weeks (lots to do first), the first change I’m making is to get myself back to the gym on a regular basis. I was doing so good until that nasty little MS flare I had in early May. I worked out through much of that, but then I was wiped out for the rest of the day. After a while, it got so rough I had to abandon that, too. Once I got through it, the writing had to be the priority with a looming deadline and los...

Pseudo Three Things
For this week only, I’m condensing my normal “3 things” down to 1…
I pressed “send” on next summer’s Amish women’s fiction novel, Portrait Of A Sister last night!!!
So yeah, I’m feeling pretty good right about now.
Yes, I’ll likely get first round edits back inside the next few weeks, but the biggest hurdle has been crossed!
How was your weekend? Tell us three things…

Ice Cream Bits
Thoughts of summer invariably bring thoughts of ice cream, don’t they?
Cone or cup? Favorite candy topping? Favorite sauce? Vanilla or chocolate?Have a great weekend!

Two of the Most Glorious Words For An Author…
First, my apologies for the no-show yesterday.
I had to head out early in the morning for a program I had to do that was about 3 1/2 hours away (4 1/2 with morning traffic factored in). Then it was to the hotel to write, write, write.
The good news is that as of the moment I’m writing this post (2:50 a.m. on Thursday), I’ve just written “The End” on my Amish women’s fiction. I still have a lot of editing work to do (including another chapter or two I think I’m adding into the middle), but if...

A New Read
Hip Hip Hooray, today’s the day!!!!
PATTERNED AFTER DEATH is out now!
On the back:
Murder hits close to home for the Southern Sewing Circle in the latest mystery from national bestselling author Elizabeth Lynn Casey.
Everyone in Sweet Briar, South Carolina, knows former high school football stars Jake Davis and Noah Madden. The two were fierce rivals once and now, twenty years later, the dueling quarterbacks haven’t lost their luster. So townsfolk are surprised when Jake and Noah team up for...

Coming Up
It’s been a while since I’ve given a writing/books-related update, so here we go…
1. PATTERNED AFTER DEATH (Southern Sewing Circle Mystery # 12) will release on Tuesday. It will be the last book in this long running series written under my pen name, Elizabeth Lynn Casey…a name that will be retired in conjunction with the series. **Note to my faithful blog readers: we’ll still be doing our thing for a while, so no worries.

Counting the Days
I’m down to the last two weeks of the deadline I’m working towards. And honestly, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’m looking forward to finishing this up.
My carrot this time?
Time off!! I want to clear my head, get my creative on in other areas again, and explore. And I will take you along right here on the blog when I do!
Any big plans for your summer?
