1. I finished writing Book #3 of my WWI trilogy last week! It was a bitter-sweet moment. Sweet because I did it – this is the sixth book I’ve written overall. Bitter because I’ve spent the last year and a half getting to know these characters and writing their stories. And now all three books are written. But there’ll be plenty of opportunities to visit them again as I work on edits and then get to share this trilogy with you! The first book is slated to release in March 2014.<\/p>\n

2. It’s a fall tradition for our family to can peaches in September, which we did again this year. Look at all those lovely bottles. They’ll be perfect for cold weather.<\/p>\n

3. The bookshelves my husband built for our family room have been installed and we’ll start painting them today. I can’t wait to get our books on there and hang the fabric banner I bought in England that spells out “read on.”<\/p>\n

4. Another family tradition in the fall is going to the state fair. This year, there was a super cool exhibit with these giant bubble makers. We need one of these at home!<\/p>\n
