Tis the season to binge uplifting Christmas movies and read uplifting holiday romance. What makes a holiday romance even better? Why, children, of course!

I realize it's not yet October. In Nebraska, the leaves are only now starting to change. We're just now entering the season of football, hoodies, and pumpkin spice lattes. The grocery stores have stacks of pumpkins out front. Yet...

I don’t know what got into me but in the past few weeks, I’ve found myself rereading a whole slew of my past Good Hope books (as well as the Silver Creek ones) and REALLY enjoying them. Sometimes I’m surprised by a certain twist in the story and find myself wondering what happens next.Ìý

Dogs and books are two things I absolutely adore. When someone posts their book cover and it has a dog on it (any kind of dog) it always catches my eye and I have to check it out. I also LOVE pictures/memes and cute dog stories.Ìý

The months are flying by and I wanted to update you on all the fabulous books coming your way in the months ahead.ÌýÌýI've been busy writing my next book in theÌýGood Hope series,ÌýTHE REAL MR. RIGHT IN GOOD HOPEÌý(coming in August). This is Oaklee's book and I think we can agree that she's waited long enough for her happy ending.ÌýÌý

It's now been a year since my husband and I began self-isolating. We live in the country so being close to neighbors has never been an issue. During the past 12 months, we've embraced grocery store pick-ups, long walks with the dogs in sparsely populated areas, and eating all meals at home (hello air fryer)Ìý What have I missed most?Ìý

2020 has been an interesting year.Ìý Still, this Thanksgiving I'm so gratefulÌýfor all my blessings: good health, a loving husband, a daughter and son-in-law I adore and three amazing granddaughters. I may not be able to travel (something I love) or have lunch with friends (something else I love). I may not be able to hug friends and family or get-together on the holidays, but I'm healthy and they're healthy and that's what matters.Ìý

Happy September!Ìý We're heading into autumn, a season I absolutely adore. Why? The cooler temperatures for starters. MyÌýtwo dogs, Chico and Finley,Ìýenjoy our walks so much more when it's not 90 degrees plus.Ìý It may be my Scandanavian background but I also tolerate walks in cooler weather so much better than when the temps are high and the dew point 70+.

Wondering what's next? I know you're looking forward to reading Bachelor Games in Good Hope this month.Ìý But, if you're like me, you're already wondering about the next book in this heartwarming series.ÌýÌý
