Just in case you've been relaxing with your morning cup of coffee and wondering where I've been, here I am to tell you! It's been a while, I know, but hey, even I get to take a break once in a blue moon. Well, the moons been blue. I was in Ocean city with my family, riding waves and digging my bare feet in the sand.

The release of my second novella, Dance of the Misbegotten , has been moved from early August to late September. There were changes I HAD to make. Keep your fingers crossed that it's out in time for THE BALTIMORE BOOKFEST. I'll have a booth there. Details for that will come later, and I hope you stop by and say hello. If you love books, the festival will be THE PLACE TO BE on September 27,28 and 29. No doubt about it, it will be a readers delight, and if you're a writer or aspire to be one, you don't want to miss the opportunity to network. Meeting other authors is so important because we are all a bit wacky, and you know, no one likes to be wacky alone!!!

I know this newsletter is generic, but I know almost everyone on my subscription list. Thank you for your support. Write me if you have the time.

By the way, SNAKEMAN, my next novella, is in the editing stages. Wow, it's a juicy one! It's the first piece of work I've done that is so close to my past experiences in a religious cult. Yes, it's wacky!

Bye for now- Ally
