'Maybe we'll try and catch up with Yardley next month,' I said. If I get more motivated, like if more than one or two books get downloaded (fingers, toes crossed!) I'll get another update posted this month and Yardley can introduce herself. Who knows?
There's a form of 'mushroom' that springs up in most locations of these United States around the last of June-first of July! Have you noticed? Some canvas covers are solid, others striped, and filled to bursting with every kind of fireworks that can be devised. A week before the 4th, I'd already heard a few around my subdivision. I expect that will change very soon, like tomorrow night. We humans can stuff our ears with muffling plugs. But I feel for the dogs, their ears are so much more sensitive. Caring owners try to find the place in their homes where the sounds are not quite as bad and put their pets there.
Guess that's enough ranting. Back to writing. I'm pretty close to a first draft of the fourth novel in the PI Cam Locke series. Kind of got sidetracked the last couple of weeks. Or longer. Must get back to it. She's doing more traveling in this one, plus out of the blue found she might have a long-lost sibling. It's taking her a while to get over the shock. Does she or doesn't she? Find out maybe in a few months. If I can can get it finished, and think of a good cover for it.
The military pics in the right column might give a clue. I love pictures, especially historicals, of our heroes. My late husband's father served in the AEF, American Expeditionary Forces, which was Army, during WWI. My husband served in the Navy during the Korean Conflict. Two brothers served in Viet Nam. A niece was a Marine. Several nephews are presently serving in Army, Navy, Air Force, still another did, is now a Sheriff's deputy as well as his cousin, another nephew.
Sylvia's dream writing space!
I really did used to dream of having a small building in my back yard dedicated to my writing. A place where I could sit and write. Watch the birds. Listen to the rain. Burn up the computer keys when that idea for the great American novel struck me like lightning. As you may have guessed, it didn't happen. But I have managed to produce a dozen or so books of varying lengths and subjects. Mostly mysteries, my favorite genre.
