So far, August is keeping the enduring South Carolina Lowcountry promise of humidity, heat and summer storms and Bandit and I have been out enjoying the sunshine in between sweltering moments. Our whole-family summer fun is over with Brilliant Son heading back to college for year three, but we are excited for the year in store for him. It’s amazing how the time is flying by, but it’s even more amazing watching our kids grow into their dreams and goals.

Top 5 Things I’m Looking Forward To In August! (in no particular order)

1) The weekly Countdown Event for the SAFE IN HIS SIGHT release (Sep/2016) In anticipation of release day for my first book with Harlequin Romantic Suspense, we have five weekly giveaways in store for you! One winner every week will recieve a gift card, swag, and a signed book! You can enter each drawing through the link included with weekly event blog post or click through one of the social media posts appearing on twitter and Facebook.

Be sure to invite a friend to join the fun!

2) The 2016 Olympics! Brilliant Husband and I will be watching the coverage and the stories of effort and triumph as the competition unfolds!

3) A fresh, new non-fiction release packed with more inspiration for writers (based on my Inspiration for Your Writing Journey broadcasts on periscope.tv M-F 9am eastern time).

4) More of the thunderstorms that roll through our area periodically. Naturally I’m not in favor or damaging winds or flash floods, but the storms bring a moody energy with them that my muse enjoys.

5) The US Open tennis tournament. Though it will just be the opening rounds taking place at the tail end of August, y’all know how much I love watching tennis!

Live the adventure!
