Happy Post-Memorial Day, D-Day ...

and the coming of summer. I hope that blossoms are bursting forth all around the country. The thermometer in South Florida doesn’t move much off ninety during the day at this stage, but sun block, a good hat, and plenty of hydrating along with powerful bug spray usually does the trick.

I don’t quite have an update on my next books, although I am working on a couple that I should be able to report on within the next month. If you haven’t made your way through the short story and essay archives yet, please make yourself at home there.

Next month we’re also going to add a new page that highlights my husband, Hugh Hudson’s, scuba instruction expertise and underwater photographing. He has some wonderful shots from our nearby Florida Keys reefs, St Croix, Hawaii, and the Turks and Caicos and he’s making some final selections as to which ones to post first. So, if you’ve ever considered learning to dive, or if you just haven’t been for a while, perhaps some more images of the underwater world will inspire you. In the meantime, you can see some of Hugh’s photographs at www.hughhudson.photoshop.com.

And don’t forget that books make wonderful presents, especially when you pair it with an autograph card, bookmark, and note from the author – all part of the autograph service that I provide with a simple click.
