Happy February!

 

Our beautiful granddaughter Aspen wishes all of you a Happy Valentine's Day!  She is walking everywhere so when my husband Rick and I babysit her we have to be on our toes.  ; )  What a blessing she has been.  

I'm so glad January is over.  It makes me feel like I can make it until Spring.  Funny how winter is a blast when one is in their youth but, as we age, it's not so much fun digging out of snow drifts or driving on ice-covered roads.  Adults don't get enough snow days!

What part of the country do you live in?  Temperate Florida or a winter haven?  I do enjoy the four seasons that living in the Hoosier state provides but any storms that result in travel restrictions are not welcome in the least.

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate so our author group can attend two book signings.  The first signing is at the Grand Traverse Pie Company in Terre Haute, IN on Feb. 12, from 11-2.  The second one is in conjunction with a book sale at St. Mary of the Woods College, located in West Terre Haute, IN.  This annual event will be held on Saturday, February 19th.  Come visit our table and browse a unique selection of books.  We look forward to speaking with you!  Enter to win a door prize and browse a huge selection of great reads.  Winter is a fantastic time to stock up on new and used books!  The college campus is beautiful any time of year.  

Next month, all my subscribers' names will be entered for a chance to win a $10.00 Amazon gift card.  If you are the lucky winner you will receive an email.  Good luck!

 I wanted to share a picture I took of our driveway a few days ago after the Midwest was hit by the Groundhog Day Winter Storm of 2022.  It took a few hours to clear it with the snowblower!

My husband Rick received a nice Canon DSLR camera from Santa for Christmas.  He has a sharp eye for photography.  In the future, I'll post some of his images.  Since we're both retired from regular employment, we hope to travel more.  He can take pictures while I pound away on my laptop.  : )

I'm 30% complete on A New World:  Cataclysm in the Cosmos-Book Three!  The cover reveal will be posted as soon as possible.  Writing this series has been a blast.  Will I continue to write middle grade adventures?  You'll have to wait and see!  : )

  

You can find links to good reads available from other indie writers in my monthly newsletter. Here's to making our way slowly but surely to Spring.  Please continue to support local authors, book stores, and libraries.  You are appreciated! 

Oh, and don't forget your valentine! 💖
