The summer is speeding by at a breakneck pace. I’m busy planning my daughter’s wedding, getting up to the farm to help my folks out a little, working at the hospital again and trying to get some books written. I recently took my grandkids to the zoo and had a ball feeding the giraffes. We saw white tigers and baby clouded leopards, too.

Okay, now for my big news! Looks like I’ll be traveling in the fall. I’m booked for a trip to Cancun, Mexico over Thanksgiving for my cousin’s wedding and I’m going back to Maine, one of my favorite places, to visit my friend Mary. Oh, that wonderful seafood is calling me already.

I’ve never been to Cancun, but I hear it’s nice. I’m certainly looking forward to the trip. I’ll be traveling with my aunt so that should be loads of fun. She’s a character. I hope to fit in a day trip to the Mayan pyramid. I’m nutty for historical things.

My Amish books seem to be selling well. You may have noticed that I’ve received a contract to write four more stories set in the fictional town of Hope Springs, Ohio. I love peeking in on my previous characters to see what they’ve been up to since their books were written.

I’ll try to update this page more often in the future now that I have things to write. May God bless and have a great summer everyone.

Life has been so busy that I thought I'd never get around to updating this page. What's new with me? A lot.

I'm back working part time at the hospital. Yes, I'm getting my "baby fix" in the NICU again. It's amazing how much I've missed holding and rocking babies. The benefit package and salary aren't bad, either, but working has cut into my writing time.

The biggest news is that my daughter is getting married. Hold the phone! Yes, after ten years with her significant other they are making it official. I'm so thrilled. I was with her when she picked out her wedding gown. Talk about holding back tears of joy. I'm so excited. I hope to have pictures to post of the event in September. See, a mother's prayers do get answered.

Lest you think I've given up writing, I haven't. I'm working on three new Amish stories for Steeple Hill with a cowboy story thrown in for good measure. I hope they like what I've done. After thirteen books it's getting a little harder to come up with new ideas. I think I need to kick back and read more. Oh, wait, when do I have time?

Summer is almost here and my flower gardens are glowing with roses, daylilies, begonias, impatiens and hosta. Okay, the weeds are looking pretty good, too, but I'll get to them tomorrow, or the day after that. Sometime soon. As soon as I finish one more chapter on my new book.

Blessings to all,
Pat

Who’s the killer?

I know, I know, the end of A Cloud of Suspicion left you hanging, but don’t despair. The next book in the Without a Trace series is coming soon. Deadly Competition by Roxanne Rustand will be on the shelves in May. Her Last Chance by Terri Reed wraps up the story in June. You won’t believe who done it.

A New Sale! Steeple Hill has purchased three new books from me. All three will feature Amish characters and will be set in the fictitious town of Hope Springs, Ohio. The first story, currently titled The Swallow’s Nest, will be out in early 2010.
