Hey there and hello,

How is everyone doing today? I must say it has been quite hot here in Virginia running in the 90s every day. I even took a picture of my dashboard where it said the temperature was 102. WOW! We might melt. I am just glad I don't live further south, I would not be able to handle the heat.

I am working on my next book and hope to be finished by December or before with it. It is coming along,  but I am still in the researching and photography stage. I can't wait to see how it turns out after I put it all together. WOOHOO!

I am also still working on a number of short stories and my two novels. They are coming along as I finished two and I am still working on a third short story. Now, I just have to find a venue to submit them. One thing at a time or one story at a time!

I have been reading David Baldacci, Jeffrey Deaver, and Patricia Cornwell this summer. I have been reading some non-fiction too just to keep up with different topics. I tend to read four books at the same time, so I get a different view sometimes. I just get bored really easy. 

Well, hope you stay cool until fall and have a wonderful summer and July 4th weekend. Remember to be safe and take good care! Have a snow cone for me!

Until next time, Susan
