Whew!
With all the travel last month, this one snuck up on me. I feel like I
haven't had a chance to catch my breath!
At any rate, it was a good tour, and I enjoyed visiting British Columbia for the first time, with booksignings in Vancouver and Victoria. There's never a lot of leisure time, but I did get to walk around both beautiful cities. I even managed to get lost in Stanley Park, until an aggressive raccoon chased me back the way I'd come. Since I'm often traveling on my own for long periods of time, I always carry a huge patent-leather purse filled with all manner of necessities - water, snacks, reading materials, an umbrella, a copy of my itinerary. Turns out, it's also good for fending off raccoons!
Thanks, as always, to all the readers who turn out for these events, for the stories you share, for the thoughtful gifts, for assuring me the raccoons in Stanley Park are simply overly friendly and looking for a handout. I hope it was time well spent for each and every one of you! Especially you crazy road-trippers. For those of you wondering what you missed, here's a link to a post on Suvudu with video coverage of the reading and signing in Seattle.
Now it's back to writing! As I noted last month, I'll be finishing up work on Naamah's Blessing, and then turning around to edit the forthcoming sequel to Santa Olivia before taking a little downtime and figuring out the all-important question of what comes next... and maybe, just maybe, enjoying a bit of summer. I don't have confirmed release dates for either book, but I'll be sure to post them as soon as I do.
Up near the top of this page, I've added a permanent link to my author page on Facebook, where I'll be posting more frequent updates, along with items of book-related interest, contest giveaways, and any other fun tidbits that pique my fancy. Please feel free to follow me there.

For something fun and completely different, check out Greenman Apothecary for a new line of Kushiel's Dart-inspired soaps. I have no affiliation with the company, but the samples I've been given to try are lovely. There are a couple of new pieces in the Tattoo Gallery, and on the homepage, because it delighted my inner kid, the seaplane on which I flew into Victoria. It's an awesome way to get an overview of the gorgeous scenery. Enjoy the summer, and take the time to indulge your own inner kid!
