Hello Summer!

Hi! How are you? I hope summer is off to a good start.

My brother was just here with me (visiting all the way from Brazil). I got to see his wife again and meet my nephew. We had a great time, but now it's back to work for this girl.

Did you hear that I began writing a third book? It's called Kindred Spirits, a beach romance between an Aspie girl and a young heart attack survivor. You can learn more about it here.

Book 2, Desert Willow, is now agent approved. This is my "Prince Harry novel." It's an Army love story about a young woman in search of an old general at Fort Bliss. She's supposed to deliver her grandma's last love letter and soon ends up with an uninvited helper, a young Army captain who looks just like Prince Harry. We're waiting for a publisher. You can read the first chapter here.

The debut just came out as an audiobook, and I still have a few ACX/Audible codes for reviewers. If you would like to review it, please reply to this message to receive your free code. For more about the debut, A Season to Dance, click here. For an audio sample/video, click here.

If you're the praying type, please pray for the Portuguese translation that comes out in a few weeks in Brazil! We just approved all the final files and Editora Pandorga will be showcasing the book at the 25th International São Paulo Book Fair in August.

I think that takes care of all the business :)

We're also finishing VBS, painting the house, and shopping for books for our second year as a home school. Fun, no? I think it is, but my husband would probably disagree with me on the painting part...

How can I pray for you this summer? What are you reading? How's it going?

Thank you for your support and encouragement always. 

Love,

Patricia

#Truth

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
