How will you celebrate July 4th, the 250th birthday of this country? I’m thinking of maybe a home cookout, and a bunch of us are heading out to fireworks. I am staying home and watching a Capitol 4th. I really don’t do large crowds well. And the little ones would not understand the crashing and banging. I’d love to hear your plans.
In fact, if you send me a line letting me know what your family has planned, I will award the best 3 answers an autographed book/bling package. Can’t wait to see the replies! Just reply to this to enter, or comment below.
We’re going to have a heat wave next week with mid-90s temps and heat indices in the 100s. Not much gardening is going on; Dan’s getting the irrigation system up and running. I am planning on a bunch of writing.

Speaking of which. I completed the manuscript for the 4th and most likely last Social Work memoir this week and am now in the editing process; it does bring back memories to read the stories. These are the best ones yet. I hope to order the cover for a reveal this weekend. Other books in the pipeline include a wild Sci-fi, dystopian future book. It gives me nightmares to write, so a little bit of horror in there, too. I am also working on a three-book library cozy mystery. That will be followed by the Christmas book mystery for this year in the Beyond the Veil series. I expect that one to drop around mid-November.
And to complete June right, June 29-July 5, Quilting Can Be Criminal will be a Free download on Amazon

Between the FBI, Homeland, and the crime wave, will Brad and Casey break the quilt puzzle before the town and their wedding go up in flames?
And that’s it. Love to hear from you: drop me a line and have a great and glorious week; see you all under the imagination tree. Don’t forget to enter the contest!
