Summer's Heating Up!

First of all, I'd like to thank all the new members who signed up for my Newsletters and Updates. Thanks to all my readers who have taken the time to email me and comment on my books. I appreciate hearing from you very much!
When summer first starts in West Michigan, I can usually say, "It’s Hot!" But until July this year, the mid-west had a cool spell, not to mention crazy weather and too much rain in some spots. So, it jumped to 90 degrees with no warning!
Be careful this summer– Remember safe boating, and don’t swim alone! Prevent sunburns– use that sun screen.

Okay, so what’s new you might ask? For all my Enchantment Series fans– I’m on Chapter 10 in my first draft. The urge and ideas are flowing together now. I love when that happens! It’s been exciting with a little sadness so far in the story. Oh, I wish I could give you an excerpt, but I never do that until it’s ready to go to print. It’s too early to submit this one yet, but I’m thinking of it. The urge to get back into this one surprised me, because I was so wrapped up in my new novel, I didn’t want to stop. But as usual, and like it always has, my Prescot family kept calling to me. Sometimes they just won’t leave me alone! For instance, Uriah was so worried about Avis over something, that he would not let me rest until he knew she was going to be okay, or not. That’s a father for you! Now, you’re probably wondering if she is okay. Well, you’ll just have to wait to find out. Fathers and heroes have certain privileges.
Speaking of Father’s I hope all the DADS had a terrific day last month on their day. My husband and I watched his youngest daughter in a ‘BIG’ horse show that day. The day before that, we spent the day with all three grand babies and daughters! His weekend was special.
Is everyone going an vacation this summer? You can check Gas Buddies for the best prices. Have fun and remember to take lots of pictures for memories of your time. I was watching the morning show and they did a segment on Is Sex Better on Vacation? So, if you’re going away, read this first. I couldn't find the link to include here. They say that on vacation the stresses of everyday life are gone;therefore SEX is hotter and more frequent! Sounds good to me... Remember to pack silk...for both of you. I don’t usually watch TV in the morning, but since my husband always has it on, that’s where I sit and drink coffee now. I love peace and quiet on a summer morn, but it 'ain't happening!
Ah, summer, the time of summer weddings... If you got married send pictures! I’ll post them on my website! You can show your happy day to the world. A teacher at work got married the day after school got out. Can you imagine how busy she must have been? And speaking of teachers and work, I am laid off from my job at school, again. Three times in three years, is a bit much. Before coming here I was at the same job for 27 years! Bah humbug!
On June 28th I did a reading/ presentation at the Delton Public Library. Hey, it was the day before my birthday! I’m sorry, but by time this newsletter goes out, it will all be over. On August 12th I’ll be doing a book signing, and presenting Enchantment’s Embrace at the Wayne Library. This will be my second signing there. Then on August 14th I’ll be Spotlighted at the Paranormality Blog. Click here to bookmark that site now! Please stop by that day, and if you’ve read my books, putting in a few good words can’t hurt either! Thanks... But, stop by to say hello, regardless! I’ll be giving away a PDF copy of one of my books. All you’ll have to do is answer a question about my book, but the info will be somewhere on my website, you don’t have to have a book to know it. On September 23rd I'll be spotlighted on the Blog of Raine Delight. In October I'll also be spotlighted at the Latte Lounge, but that's not 100% confirmed yet. Details about that will follow.
I’ve been up to a few other things. I went back to MySpace. A couple years ago my site got hacked, but I just went back. Don’t forget to ‘befriend’ me if you are there, too. You can meet other authors. Oh, wait, that’s my competition! Hmm– I guess this is the time to wonder why I just interviewed Shiela Stewart, Erotic Romance Author, in both eBook and Print. I thought having a hot author here for my summer newsletter was a great idea. Well, hot besides me, that is! So, be sure to read Shiela’s interview. I have liked her since I’ve known her, but after doing the interview, I have a whole respect thing going on for her. She’s an awesome erotic romance writer. You’ll like reading about her. I’m reading one of her books now. Since I’m writing an erotic romance myself, I thought a little sample might be good. Yummy!
I’m loving the novel I’m working on right now. It’s an erotic contemporary, and has a Royal hero. Oh, yeah, royal as in Duke! I’m thinking of submitting this one to an E-Publisher. Shiela gave me her editor’s name. One good thing about an ebook is the price. The downside is you sit at your computer to read it, or purchase an ebook reader.
I just read a great book. If you’re just kicking back this summer, I have a wonderful summer love story for you. The Notebook! Okay, I might be the only one who hasn’t seen or read it yet. Watch the trailer on my MySpace Profile page... I know it’s been out awhile, but it’s a great story. Also, if you love time-travels like I do, you might want to watch Somewhere in Time, again. It’s my favorite, and part of my time-travel inspiration. If that’s not enough romance for you, I have books on hand for sale!
My son is living only miles away from one of the fires in California. His boss and friends at his work have already been evacuated. He has been sending me pictures and reports. The last reports from him were that they are 95% contained in the area of Redding. His boss and some friends from his job had to be evacuated. I know someone there had horses to evacuate. Ranches in the area out of danger were taking in animals that had to be moved. Awww... that's so sweet! What a great gesture of humanity. Visit this YouTube link for videos from the area.

WRITING TIP
Carry a pen and paper around with you all the time so you can write down anything that inspires you. For instance, if you see someone who looks like a great story character, observe and write details! Even if you don’t have a place for them now, you might later. Did you run across a perfect setting– old house, alleyway, sunset, etc? Write it down! What if you’re driving down the highway, and an idea pops in your head? Do you have something to write it down on? :-)
