Heat and rain
We’ve had too much rain in these western North Carolina mountains the past few weeks. It’s caused flooding and shaken already damaged infrastructure that was impacted by Hurricane Helene. Along with high temps, it’s created a lot of humidity and I don’t do well with high humidity. Yuck.
Bear, my 13 year old little diva guy, is happy to just stay in his favorite recliner and enjoy the cooler house temps. This is him, waiting patiently for me to share my popcorn.
Writing is happening, albeit slowly. Progress on Gone on Arrival and on Rowan happened this week and I love that I’m finally feeling the flow of words once more. It’s not as steady and consistent as it used to be, but any flow is progress at this point.
I’m also working with Lizzie Dunlap of Pixie Covers to update the covers for the Supernatural Intelligence Network series. I’ll drop them here as they come. I’m excited for this update and hope you all like them as much as I do!
Until next week…

My friend, Rick Sutherland, has a free novella prequel to his Albion Saga series. Book one is out and book two is almost ready to publish (I can’t wait!). Grab Weight of Mercy for free and step into the world of intrigue, romance, and a version of King Arthur I actually like.
Check out the promos for this week and grab yourself some great reads.
thank you for this beautiful read. and I am in love with little Bear! I used to share my popcorn with my little man too... I miss him
The humidity is harder to deal with than the temperatures. I used to live in Auckland in New Zealand where we'd routinely have 95% humidity days. You'd no sooner step outside than your skin was wet. Not nice to deal with.
