Spring Happenings!

This spring has sprung with all its beautiful green glory here in central Michigan. After a very long winter, we are loving every single second of the warmer weather and regaining our color after the past six months of a dull gray landscape.

In addition to my usual writing and editing projects, this spring has been busy with a couple of major events.

The first was the annual rummage sale that my church hosts. After a two-year hiatus because of Covid, the rummage sale was busier than ever because people had more stuff than ever to donate.

As you might expect, I’m in charge of the used book sale portion of the rummage sale. There were 14 large tables filled with books as well as boxes of books under each table! It was a LOT of work to organize!

This year, the sale earned $34,000 to go toward missions. Isn’t that incredible? So that you can see the scope of the rummage sale, here are a few pictures of the sanctuary showing different sections. (I’m sorry to say that I didn’t get any pictures of the book section!)

The second major event was my daughter’s bridal shower that I hosted for family and friends. As I’ve mentioned previously, my daughter is getting married in July. We wanted to celebrate with her as well as shower her with gifts so that she’ll have everything she needs as she starts married life.

Here are just a few pictures from the fun day!

In book news, if you missed the release of To Tame a Cowboy in early May, then head over to my website to check out more information about the book and to see what readers are saying about it.

And in other book news, my next sweet but adventurous medieval romance book, Ensnared, is releasing on June 14 (less than a month away!). You won’t want to miss this next installment! Find out more information here: http://jodyhedlund.com/books/ensnared/
