Life has many special moments…a first kiss…first home…the birth of our children. I could go on and on, but today it’s about spending time with grandchildren. When I came back from my two plus months of traveling, I had my next adventure in my sites. I took Sav and Jo, my daughter Kristin’s children, to the cabins at Bayview. We spent time at the beach, a day at Deception Pass, then wrapped up our two-night, three-day vacation at Wenberg State Park.

During our time, we talked, read, searched for rocks, shells and anything interesting the beach had to offer. We explored (Sav led the way) as we hiked up a hill to get where needed in order to have access to the beach. We were forced to turn away from a shortcut when the tide started coming in faster than anticipated…let me tell you that is some cold water…YIKES. We laughed, ate whatever we wanted…whenever we wanted, including a special trip back to the store for ice cream. My hamburger cooking is nothing special, but you’d never know that by how quickly my grandchildren ate. They thought everything I cooked was great. We slept well, ate well, played hard, relaxed often…and let life work around our schedule.

There are special moments in life we always remember; adding to my list was hearing Jo and Sav tell me how much fun they had. Jo even said it was the best vacation ever…next to Disneyland, of course. Maybe it was all the junk food talking, or the “no rules” theme, but hearing those words meant a lot to me. It told me these two young ladies enjoy my company…and they’d do it again next year without hesitation. Love is being a grandmother…and I’m thankful for these special moments in my journey through life.

***New Release***

Hi, everyone, I’m excited to announce the release of Four of Spades. This is book three of my Sara Series…filled with intrigue, suspense, and paranormal activity. I hope you enjoy this new book. I look forward to hearing your reviews. Here is a link to the book trailer for you to enjoy…

Happy Reading, Happy Life…

Two simple words I have just typed on my latest book. Yes, I’m in the middle of releasing my fourth book, which is book three to my Sara series – stay tuned for a trailer coming soon. But this book was one I’d been working on in the background for a couple of years now. I’m not clear on the title yet…and the editing will likely take a good amount of time, but it’s the story of my son, Brook, who died as an infant. May of you know about Brook. Whether you know him or not, I hope you will read the book and get to know him. With his blessing and the blessing of all involved, it was time to tell his story. It is a novella, meaning smaller than a novel (at this point anyhow), the genre is Reality Fiction. It has Brook’s voice and also deals with real paranormal experiences I have lived through since his death.

When I start editing this book, it will play a part on how my soul feels each time, but my strength will be renewed by Brook’s spirit, friends, and family. I’m done writing for today, this adventure has taken a toll on me, and I’ll have the pleasured company of two of my grandkids, Sav and Jo, for the afternoon and evening. Sav will help me with my book trailer for Four of Spades, and Jo will assist. Then we will fill the rest of the night with games, pizza, and a movie.

To all the authors out there writing, and all of you reading…I think these two little words “The End” may have a different meaning. To me, right now…it means I can take a breath, shed a tear, be exhilarated, smile and feel the warmth of Brook wrapped around me…all at the same time.
