AUGUST 2024 WRITING AND WANDERING #Newsletter

I’ve been stuck close to home. I’m itching to get out and explore, but sometimes things are out of our control. Fortunately, I live in an area where close to home (what I define as 100 miles or less) has a lot of amazing scenery and wide-open spaces for recreation.

I was very excited to learn that six of my backlist titles have been selected as Amazon Daily Deals for August, which means for one day only the book will be available for download for just $1.99 on Amazon. Check the list of titles and dates below under “MY BOOKS.”

Whether you’re spending your summer close to home or far away, I hope you’re having a wonderful break and you will pick up one of my new or discounted novels. Happy reading!

WRITING


I’ve been working on edits for book 3 in The Beartooth Chronicles, Isolated from Anarchy. I think we’re looking at an early fall 2024 release. In case you missed it, book 2, Above the Abyss, was released in June, and the first novel in the series, Refuge from the World, is currently on sale for just $2.99 from all of the usual online book sellers.


WANDERINGS

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve had to stick close to home in July and most of August, but I do have plans for a road trip in late summer. Despite being unable to go far, we have made some half-day outings to some really beautiful places. I especially enjoy going to the places that inspired the fictional locals in The Beartooth Chronicles. Even a short time in nature helps mend the soul. 


WHAT I’M READING

I finally finished Pandora’s Temple by Jon Lund. I enjoyed the book. It reminded me of a James Rollins novel, which I love by the way. I’ve also read the first two novels in Claire Vale’s Sin of Duty Series. The story is a little disturbing, but well written and it really drew me in. Think Hunger Games. I was a little disappointed when I finished book two and learned that book 3 isn’t coming out until November 2024. So, with that on hold, I’m now reading Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.

Summer Lovin’ Blog Hop

It seems like love happens when you’re not looking for it, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Marked In Mexico’s Jessica, hasn’t figured out a way to break it off with the arrogant son of a prominent senator, who happens to be her boss at the law firm where she works. Oh, and did I mention her dad is totally pushing for her to marry the cheating scum? So, what’s a girl to do? Take a vacation with her best friend and try to get her priorities in order, which sounds like a great idea until…   An idyllic Caribbean vacation turns deadly when hostages are taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger, who has no intention of playing by the rules.   I’ll be giving away a $10 Amazon Gift Car

I would like to introduce Australian western author, Susan Horsnell, and welcome her to Embrace Adventure.   Just living in Australia conjures up all kinds of adventurous images in my mind, and I dream of going there someday. For now, let’s get to know Susan, and we can live our Australian dreams vicariously through her.   First, Susan, tell us a little bit about yourself.   I have been retired for almost 5 years which is wonderful. I now have the time to do the things I have always wanted. As a child I was a dancer, did TV work as well as Pantomimes at clubs during the holidays. We have a young granddaughter who is also fast becoming an accomplished dancer. We have a granddaughter who is a brilliant horsewoman and is very good at Marshall Arts, her sister is also very good at Marshall Arts. We have 2 gorgeous grandsons who are also into sports.
