Can you even believe it? I am having a hard time imagining that half the year is gone already.

I’m working hard on the next book, which is the third in the Brothers Grime Series. It’s time to give Gabe and Dave their happily ever after… Past time.

I’ll be re-releasing each of the original Grime stories with some bonus material. You’ll hear more about that as the time gets closer. Look for Grime and Punishment to drop by the end of July, Grime Doesn’t Pay in August, and the third, Parters in Grime, in early September. The first two books are still available in Audiobook format.

I have no plans for the fourth except for drugging my dog. Ledger, our German Shepherd was so afraid of fireworks that he leaped out the second story window on Mexican Independence Day (September 16th) when we first got him. He came out of that just fine, but he was old when we adopted him, and he has, sadly, long since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but I miss him. I miss him at this time of year especially.

Our Watson doesn’t enjoy fireworks, and he gets anxious, but nowhere near as badly as Ledger. We give him extra cuddles and keep him inside and safe so he will be fine.

I wish everyone a bright, happy summer, lots of down time to read, and great family adventures! It’s hard to even write this without agonizing for those who have come to America looking for safety and freedom from want only to find the exact opposite. May we all remember who we are and what we stand for (and refuse to stand for) this year.
