SEPTEMBER 2026 WRITING AND WANDERING NEWSLETTER

 

I can’t believe September is already here. Where has summer gone? I know the first day of fall isn’t until September 22 this year, but once school is back in session and college sports are in full swing, it feels officially fall. Weather wise, this was a crazy summer. Temperatures went from cold to hot and the smoke from wildfires in the west was heavy at times. My garden did okay, but I think it was as confused by the wild temperature swings as I was. I’ve definitely had better production.   


WRITING


I’m pleased that the first novel in The Beartooth Chronicles, Refuge from the World, is now included in Kindle Unlimited. If you have a KU membership, now’s the time to get started on the series for free. Most of my other novels are also free with Kindle Unlimited, and my two Risky Research micro-reads are always free to download for everyone.

WANDERINGS

August was a smoky month in the west which limited some outdoor fun, but we did get out to play golf on a few of our nearby small courses. I always forget how much I enjoy a round of golf until I’m out there.  

WHAT I’M READING, NOTABLE NOVELS, and INSPIRING AUTHORS

I finished reading Survive the Chaos (Small Town EMP: Book 1). It was a pretty good dystopian series starter, so I’ll probably continue on as soon as I get a little more caught up on my huge to-be-read list. I’ve also finished reading State of Fear by Michael Crichton. It’s a good book with lots of action, and it gave me a lot to think about.

I’m currently reading When Among Crows by Veronica Roth. I’ve just started so not much to say yet.

ADDITIONAL INFO: Most of my novels (depending on publisher) are available through all the major online booksellers. On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Kim-McMahill/e/B007IK0EJW/.

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...

Blogfest – Did I Notice Your Book?

What makes a new book jump out and beg to be read even if you’ve never heard of the author?   A great cover or a catchy title can grab the attention of a potential reader, and Beth Groundwater’s Wicked Eddies did just that.   It’s difficult to ignore, Wicked Eddies , and not be just a bit intrigued. Did I notice your book? If so, please comment. If you’re just curious, here’s the blurb. Fly fishing is dangerous?   River ranger Mandy Tanner had no idea until days before a huge tournament in Salida, Colorado. True, the Arkansas River can be a man-eater, but the rapids weren’t responsible for driving a hatchet into the neck of would-be competitor Howie Abbott—a secretive man who may have been cheating. While casting about for suspects, Mandy seeks clues from Abbott’s family members, including her best friend, bartender Cynthia Abbott. But when Cynthia becomes the prime suspect, Mandy realizes that trolling for the true killer has plunged her way too deep into wick...
