Hello from Savannah!

I've just gotten back from a trip to South Carolina.  I spent the wee hours of the morning painting the floor of the master bedroom of my grandparent's old home.  You'll meet this house in Homespun, and it's actually the inspiration for that story.  Yes, the Silk Trilogy has many roots in reality, but please know that the stories are fictional.
I've taken a break from writing stories for the summer, as it's so difficult to write while the kids are off from school, but an author can't help herself, I suppose--so here I am, writing something, at least.
It's nice to be back home in Savannah--looking forward to a few more lazy, hazy days of summer here.  Pool, television, reading, baby chicks, cooking...life stays busy and flies by here, too.
Well, the reason for taking the summer off of writing still does exist, and I must go for now, but I'm looking forward to keeping you updated on the progress of my books and all the cool discoveries that I make in the meantime.  Now, how in the world do authors manage not to spill all the goodies in these blogs?  We'll see, I guess!
