Greetings to all. I hope your summer will be relaxing and enjoyable. Big day here in our household. Our younger daughter is graduating from high school this evening. She'll be attending Humboldt State University in Northern California in the fall.

I'm very excited to report that my third novel, Circles of Stone, will be released in August by Hilliard & Harris Publishers. I have received the Advance Reading Copy that is being issued to reviewers and I could not be happier with it. Really stunning cover, thanks to cover designer Stephanie A. Reilly.

I'd like to call your attention to a feature on my website, www.blsinc.com/products/garrotto.htm, where I have been keeping a diary of the Circles of Stone's entire production process. I hear from a lot of writers, both published and aspiring, how much they enjoy reading these entries that mark the slow but forward progress of a book as it works its way to the bookstore shelves.

You can also preview the book at both my personal website and at my den on AuthorsDen.com. I invite you to drop by.

More later in the summer. Meantime, enjoy!!

A. J. Garrotto
