Just some random chatter…
The last few weeks have been quite eventful in my normally quiet life. Firstly, I’ve had a lot going on in the yard. My Eastern Blue Birds successfully sent their first clutch of the year out into the world. Unfortunately, they fledged when I was not at home, so I didn’t get to see it this time.
Speaking of birds, I also had a robin build a nest in my gutter. I kind of questioned why she would build in a spot with no overhead shelter, but maybe she is a first-time mother and didn’t know better. She no sooner got her nest built than a torrential rain storm, complete with an EF-1tornado came through town. I guess that changed her mind about her choice of location because she has since moved on.
The rainy weather this spring has kind of done a number on my flowers, but I was excited to see that I have my first tomato!
Last weekend I had the joy of watching two of my granddaughters compete in a national pageant in Cincinnati. They did really well and headed back to Florida with tons of awards and prizes. It was so good to spend time with them and get some “grammy cuddles.” Aren’t they the cutest?
I also recently signed a contract with Pelican Book Group for my Christmas novelette, The Key to Christmas, which will be part of this year’s Christmas Extravaganza.
Add to that King of Hearts which releases this September, and it has been a very prolific writing year for me!
I’ll keep you posted about the Christmas story, but did I mention King of Hearts is available for preorder HERE? 
Leave a comment and let me know what’s happening in your world!
