Dear Reader,
Hello again and thanks for visiting. Even though it’s early September we still have some hot weather ahead, especially if you’re in the South. The summer was so hot I didn’t even bother to attempt a vegetable garden. According to some friends of mine who live in the Garden State of New Jersey, the only thing that made it through the heat was the corn. Nothing like a good, buttery corn on the cob. I don’t know about you, but when the temperature is about to burst the thermometer, I don’t feel too much like cooking so I will share some easy recipes besides digging into a carton of ice cream!
Kids are going back to school, and I am sure there are mothers and fathers out there doing cartwheels! The past two years have been a big challenge for most families, between figuring out how to work from home, and school your kids. Talk about a juggling act. Maybe this will be the beginning of things getting back to normal once and for all.
The cats are still running my life and I am very happy about it, and so is Harvey. He thinks they belong to him. If you don’t have a pet you don’t know what you’re missing. I’m serious. There have been dozens of studies from accredited health organizations stating that interacting with an animal has shown to decrease levels of cortisol, a stress related hormone. That helps to lower your blood pressure. They also found animals help lower anxiety levels. Of course, they provide companionship and help to structure your day. You ain’t kidding. My fur family bosses me around all day long.
On to book news. Secrets, book two in the Lost and Found Series just hit the shelves and is already a USA TODAY Best Seller. So thank you to all my fans who bought it and read it. I was very pleased to see how many people are enjoying the escapades of the characters. The third novel Liar! will be out next year.
This month’s contest is for an assortment of six of some of my favorites including Hidden (book one in the Lost and Found series), and Secrets.
Stay well, healthy, and strong!
All the best,
Fern Michaels
