Hi

My family and I have been doing a lot of what those pups in the picture are doing! Thank goodness for the A/C. But honestly, it’s been beautiful here in north Idaho, and I’m not complaining. Actually, it makes me feel a little guilty when I think of all the recent horrific flooding in Texas and elsewhere. My heart goes out to all the victims, human and animal, and I hope you’re safe wherever you are.

I’m pleased to report that I’m three-quarters of the way through TAONB, book three in my Ragin’ Moon Refuge series. The cover will be out for design within the next month or so, and of course I’ll share as soon as I have it. I’m planning for an October release.

Any Pinterest fans out there? I created an account years ago and did very little with it. Mostly because I had no idea what to do with it. But now I’ve educated myself a bit and have began building up my bards. I’m using it to share a little more of the inspiration and small-town romance feel behind my books—plus a few personal favorites along the way.

So far I have a “Clean and Cozy Romance Vibes” board, a “Start the series” board for my Huckleberry Ridge Romance novels, and the coolest board of all … “Meet the Dogs of Huckleberry Ridge.” (It’s adorable, I swear. Each dog has their own profile pic and bio.)

If that sounds like your kind of thing, I’d love for you to follow me on Pinterest. Check out my boards HERE.

And if you see a board or pin that really speaks to you, hit “Save,” or drop me a comment. I always love hearing what makes your reader heart happy.

_{What I’m Reading Now}

Collision Course, by Jorgia Yates. Love the characters, romantic tension and suspense. But there’s a few references to animals being harmed that I can definitely do without.

That’s it for this time. Thanks so much as always for being part of my author journey. See you in August!

K.T.
