The stuff that got us through the week! Mid-September edition...

Welcome to the weekend!

You made it! And so did we. Actually, I was on a research trip this week. Both my suspense novels (coming in May 2024 and 2025 are set in Portland, Maine, so I had to visit! I had a great week, so long as we’re not counting the state of my email inbox.

And our friend Jenn pointed out that a lot of people have a holiday on Monday, which definitely got her through the week! ❤️
