Greetings, all!

Well, it's the last day of July. I know, I know, for many this is still mid-summer, but since Cyclone goes back to school on Monday, August 4th, I feel like summer is now over. Wow!

God has been good to me; I haven't gone over the deep end with both boys home all day, every day. :-) This is a blessing. I've seen family and friends, tanned, lightened my hair, and found new things to do with a sandbox.

**Publishing News!!** **Publishing News!**

Well! GARRISON'S GIRL is being produced this autumn! Yes, the controversial inspirational romance novel is being published by Publish America and has a release date of October 4th. I'm very excited, as you can imagine. I'll have the cover image up at my site as soon as I can pare it down from the entire cover image sent to me from PA.

Additionally, the booklet Clueless at the Convention, that I compiled and edited for the Small Press Association, was officially released in mid-July. If you have ever wanted to be an exhibitor at a comic convention, you really ought to read this!

**Other Interesting Information**
I attended the San Diego Comic Convention this year. It was a fascinating experience, one which I am already putting to good use, professionally. If you have never been to one of these events, I highly recommend it.

Still no results available from the Cincinnati Celtic Fiction Contest. When I know – you'll know!

I hope that the summer was kind to you! May you experience life's richest blessings and find unexpected smiles until next time!
