Hello, July!

Good evening, Write Edge readers! I hope your week has started off well. For my U.S. readers, I hope you have fun plans for the Fourth tomorrow. Did you know Americans eat an average of 150 million hot dogs on the Fourth of July?? Whatever you plan to eat or drink, I urge you to do it responsibly and safely. It’s a great time for amazing food and gathering with loved ones. Let’s keep it to that!

I’ve posted this week’s haiku, which speaks straight to the fact that I was trying really hard to come up with what to write. So I decided to write about that. Read the original poem now on The Write Edge Writing Workshop!

On Wednesday I’ll have a brand new release for you. This week I’ll let you know what I thought of A Most Agreeable Murder by Julia Seales. Come back in the middle of the week to read my review on The Write Edge Bookshelf!

And, finally, Instagram on Friday. Check out what I’m reading for next week and more fun pictures, including more shots connected to the Next Generation Indie Book Awards. I’m just so proud of The Truth About Elves! If you haven’t already, you can order you own autographed copy now.

Also, my publisher, Atmosphere Press, did a fun author interview with me. Read it here now!

Have a wonderful Fourth of July! For those of you not celebrating but are in the Northern Hemisphere, stay hydrated and in the shade. And don’t forget your sunscreen!

Hug a loved one this week, readers. Life is short and precious!
