We made it to September! What was the best part of your summer? Roxanne Rustand

 

So many parts of the country experienced severe weather this summer that the news on television and in the papers was overwhelming. I hope you were able to escape all that, and that you have lots of happy memories from the summer of 2022!

Ours centered on family and friends and simply being grateful for each other, as we hit our 46th anniversary on August 26th. 💕  

I have a couple of happy bits of news to share, though!

COLD CASE DANGER, the first book in my new Wyoming Danger series, is available for pre-order as of today! 

Here's a quick peek:

Janna figures she has everything under control.  But maybe not…

 

She can handle raising her daughter alone. Refurbish at least part of a remote mountain lodge and derelict cabins in time for tourist season income. Care for her increasingly forgetful mom.

 

But when her ragamuffin dog digs up human remains behind a cabin and she starts seeing a shadowy figure lurking in the surrounding forest, danger mounts.  

Will her new boarder and his troubled son prove helpful, or is she completely on her own?

Here is a link so you can read more about it on Amazon!

 

My other happy news is that our two newest grandbabies will be baptized this month, and we are so happy!  
I don't yet have a photo of both in their outfits, but here is one of them.

Isn't it interesting how even an eight-month-old can have such strong opinions?  

Her momma made sure there were no itchy or scratchy seams, but as soon as the dress was on, she burst into tears--perhaps overwhelmed at the profusion of pearls, lace, and ruffles.  As far as she's concerned, I imagine a nice play outfit would suit her just fine for her big day.  😇

Do you have some fun or special memories from this summer?  Leave a comment, and you'll be in a drawing for a free e-copy of my Christian romantic suspense  FINAL WITNESS!

Wishing you all a beautiful autumn,

ONE MORE KISS....and a gift card drawing!

 August at last, and am I ever looking forward to autumn!  Not just for cooler weather, but for the September 10th release of my third book in the Northern Pines series, ONE MORE KISS.

Humor, romance...and a mystery!  It's up for pre-order now.  CLICK HERE to order or find more information. 

Here's a quick preview:

In One More Kiss, a disillusioned lawyer searching for a quiet life in a small town inadvertently ends up sharing his elderly aunt’s vacant house with a woman who has secrets to hide from her troubled past, a young daughter, and a menagerie of epic proportions. But there's also danger lurking in this small town...

I loved writing this book. It was just so much fun, because--as many who follow my blog might know--I've been an animal lover all my life and there aren't many types of pets I haven't had at one time or another. 

And when the kids were growing up, oh my! Cockatiels, bunnies, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, tarantulas, fish, and all manner of lizards and pet snakes were added to the mix. 

Now we have just the more standard variety (two golden retrievers, eight very friendly, lazy barn cats that follow me everywhere, three horses, and a peacock who occasionally stops in for extended stays. 😀

Do you have any pets at your house? Or when you were growing up?  Leave a comment and be entered in a drawing for a $10.00 Amazon gift card  or an e-copy of ONE MORE WISH  (two winners)

Best wishes to you all for a wonderful end to your summer!
