OCTOBER 2024 WRITING AND WANDERING #NEWSLETTER

I hope everyone is settling into fall nicely. My only problem with fall is that it is the precursor to winter. I’m not a fan of the cold and have aspirations of becoming a snow-birder one day. So far that hasn’t happened, but a girl can dream.

WRITING

While I wait for the next round of edits to come back for Isolated from Anarchy (The Beartooth Chronicles, Book 3). I’m working on book 6. The first two novels in the series, Refuge from the World (Book 1) and Above the Abyss (Book 2), are out, so if you haven’t jumped into this epic series, there is no better time than the present. I hope you will join Ashley and Caleb as they embrace the challenges of learning about love, dealing with tragedy and grief, protecting their community from deadly predators and ruthless neighbors, and experiencing amazing adventures while trying to find solutions to a rapidly changing environment and deteriorating world.

Here's a very short excerpt from Refuge from the World:

Caleb stowed the binoculars and looked over at Ash. “How are you holding up?”

“Physically, I’m tired, but otherwise I’m fine. I’d be lying though, if I said I wasn’t still shaken from the last two nights, and that’s probably causing a little paranoia.”

“Paranoia?”

“The horses are agitated and walking a lot faster than usual without any encouragement from us. Back there a bit, goosebumps ran up my arms, and I keep getting the sensation we’re being watched.”

“If that’s paranoia, I guess we both have it,” Caleb said.

WANDERINGS

So far, all of my wandering this fall has revolved around high school and college volleyball. When we travel somewhere to support our teams, we try to include fun, beautiful, or educational stops along the way. Highlights so far have been Mt. Rushmore National Memorial, Badlands National Park, and Glacier National Park. We also took in some inspiring museums, interesting state parks, and gorgeous scenery.

WHAT I’M READING

I finished Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth. Even though it took me a while to get into it, the story didn’t disappoint. It was filled with all of the dystopian action, suspense, and thrills you can expect from Roth. I just started Hidden Danger by Gail Pallotta. I’ve read a number of her books, so I’m confident it will be an entertaining read.

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.
