I got up early to write this morning–I was all ready to buckle down and work hard on Jenna’s story (the 3rd POV in HURRICANE SEASON that I still have to write) but I did a search for myself on Google (as you do) and I discovered THE HIDEAWAY is up on my publisher’s website AND Amazon! I got a little giddy and forgot all about all that writing stuff. Here’s the link to Thomas Nelson’s description of the book and here’s the Amazon link. Pretty exciting stuff! It looks like you can pre-order the book now on Amazon. If you go that route, it’ll arrive at your house on the publication day (April 11).  I may just sit here the rest of the day and look at my Amazon page.

In other news, THE HIDEAWAY is now in the hands of the line editor, Julee Schwartzburg. I should get her edits back on or around Aug 24, then the final edits will be due to Karli on September 16. 

Kate started back to school this week and things are good. She likes her new teacher and is making some new friends. Sela starts back next Wednesday. I’m trying to do some fun things with Sela these last few days of her summer because come Wednesday, it’s Buckle Down Mama with my nose to the computer for the next three months. My writing group is taking a break, then will start back up right after Labor Day. 

That’s it for this Friday morning. Maybe one day soon I’ll get back to my Friday 5.  Have a great weekend!
