Vacation Time...Where will you Go?

The beach? The mountains? A foreign country? There are many choices, even if funds are few. 

'Vacationing in Place' is a concept many take to heart. Turn off the phone, make some cool beverages, and find time to read.

Summer is HERE!

Technically, summer starts June 20th but the weather around here in Raleigh, North Carolina sure feels like summer. Temps are over 90, storms threaten every afternoon, and flowers succumb to the appetite of the deer. The local power company powers down our A/C when black-outs are possible, and we have already had a couple of power outages. My shower is pretty dark when the lights go out!

Through it all hubby and I sit back and remember our first apartment. No A/C, no control on the temperature (the thermostat was in the lower apartment), no A/C in any of our cars, and it was usual for camp lanterns and flashlights to be close-at-hand.

The difference? We married and set up our first home in New Hampshire. The mountain breezes and nearby rivers of cool, clean water, as well as lakes and hiking trails made our summers a treat. Vacationing in nearby Canada or a trip to the Dover coast for lobster made for a great life. Forty-nine years later, we manage it all...together.

What do you do to survive the weather that seems to have turned worse across our country? We are NOT looking forward to possibly 13 or more hurricanes. These massive storms are unpredictable. Only 4 hours west of us, the towns of Black Mountain, Swannanoa, Asheville, Bat Cave, Chimney Rock and many more were nearly destroyed only nine months ago. 

Find your flashlights and heed the warnings, 

but try to enjoy SUMMER! 

(Don't forget your summer reading...)

The Story Continues across North Carolina

 Happy, Happy Friday the 13th!

Although I was not born in North Carolina, I have come to love this part of our fabulous country. After traipsing around the state, mostly using recommendations by my sisters who had relocated here years before, I discovered the North Carolina Museum of Art. It swept me away and when its 164 acres brought me to the open-air Rodin Garden, I was hooked. Huge statues by the sculptor, Auguste Rodin, made ideas swim in my writer's mind. The result?

The Warriors in Bronze series.

Published April 15: HEAVEN-SENT WARRIOR

Asleep inside a bronze statue, a naked Frenchman wakes a century later to save a half-Fae, museum curator from a demon bent on ruling our present-day world.

Published May 15: HEAVEN-SENT HIGHLANDER

A Scottish Highlander falls in battle only to awaken beside bronze statues at a present-day museum. Befriended by a beautiful Fae creature and her allies, he must defeat a demon or die.

To be Published June 15: HEAVEN-SENT FLAME

An English lass grows up in a Scottish coven only to awaken in a strange new world with sculptures, a handsome man, and a hate-filled demon. Falling in love while saving the world was not the plan!

The beginning of summer is right around the corner, so these books make great 'beach reads.' Will you consider adding one to your beach chair?
