Right after Mother’s Day I hit the ground running, meeting readers in Baltimore, Maryland; Providence, Rhode Island, and Portland, Maine.  Thanks so much  to everyone who has come out to meet me!

Not only have I been traveling, but on the plane and in my room at night I've been proofing manuscript pages sent to my tour hotels by my editor. (For those of you eager for the next Cedar Cove book, rest easy.  One of my tasks last week was reading over the edited version of 8 Sandpiper Way, Number 8, due out August 26.   You’ll be happy with this next installment, I promise!

I did get to rest a bit this past weekend.  I had a traditional Lobster Feed, which means, if I understand it correctly, the lobster was steamed in seawater, and it was fabulous.  This is different from what I’m accustomed to, and I loved it.

The next cities on my itinerary are Hartford, Connecticut; Buffalo, New York, and Vero Beach, Florida.  I’m looking forward to meeting readers there and sampling the local cuisine!
