What’s Happening? In the last few weeks of my summer break, I’m focused a lot on home improvements. With the mortgage paid off, I’m now realizing how dingy out bathroom and kitchen are. We’ll see what comes of this.

What I’m Working On. I completed the first draft revision of Acorn Canyon, the first book of my Cleodora duet. It’s with my husband, who is always the first reader. That lets me work on first draft of the second book, Willow Lake.

What’s Next? I’m currently focused on prepping Cleodora, so right now I don’t have another writing project lined up.

Where I’ll be. A nearby bookshop is having a Local Author Day, and I’m getting my display ready for that. It’s August, so I’m especially concerned about having enough shade.

Fun and Games. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, I finished the main plot and am noodling around with side quests. Also continue to build my town in Animal Crossing. And there’s a jigsaw puzzle here and there.

I hope you are all staying cool enough through this long, hot summer!
