After completing five books this year and also working on two more at the same time, that are yet to be published, has been a tiring project. It’s time to take a deep breath and get some much-needed time off.
Each year around this time we travel to our favorite place on Earth – Aruba. It’s a small but beautiful island that has everything you could ever want – sun, fun, surf, fabulous food, seeing returning friends, and relaxation without worries. Ah, I can’t wait!
We will be there for an extended time but I promise to try to pump out a few posts (fingers crossed) during that time. Of course I will share some of the photos from this fantastic place. I will try not to make you too envious though.
I will be sharing pics of my food, views from our balcony and sea scenes that are incredibly blue in multiple hues from light blue to turquoise to navy.
During this hiatus I hope you will keep visiting and catch up with some of my previous posts you may have missed. There is something for everyone.
If you are one of the authors who have requested an interview on my blog, please contact me no later than Monday, October 22, 2018 in order to be scheduled before I leave. If I don’t hear from you by then I will do another post to request that you contact me later when I return.
My new book, Abby & Holly Series Book 2: Unfortunate Events is now available on:
AMAZON
KINDLE
BARNES & NOBLE (coming soon)
http://Jemsbooks.com
Cover and chapter illustrations were done by my husband, John Spina.
