I hope to keep in touch with my readers on this blog. I won\u2019t blog every day but I will be here as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a summer I\u2019ve had. Since my eye doctor told me I needed cataract surgery, I scheduled it for June because I knew it would be miserably hot outside and I wouldn\u2019t mind being shut-in for a while. However, the left eye was the worst and it kept being worse after the surgery. Nothing horrible, it just took a while to heal because of cornea problems. So the right eye was finally done last week and I\u2019m seeing just great. It was an easier procedure and as of now that eye is healing fast, thankfully. It\u2019s weird not having my glasses. I\u2019ve worn glasses off and on since my early twenties. Now I\u2019ll just need readers for tiny print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whew, glad that is over. In the middle of this I finished my first independently published book. The Sweetheart Deal is a book of my heart\u2014set in Florida near all my favorite places and full of family and friends and a sweet romance that started when my hero and heroine were in kindergarten.\u00a0 (My husband and I met when we were that age because one of my sisters and her husband lived in a cottage in his grandparents back yard! He was an Army brat, so he came and went several times. When he returned in high school, I knew he\u2019d be the boy I\u2019d marry. We\u2019ve been together for over fifty years now.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sweetheart Deal is not our story but has moments of how we felt in it for sure. I\u2019m excited about this new adventure, about my lovely new website and about this blog. You can find me and all of my books here, but don\u2019t forget to also sign-up for my newsletter to find out about new books and other news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this will be the first book of a series, all set in Florida on Sweetheart Bay. I have all these ideas in my head\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, and welcome to my new website and my first official blog post here.
