… where I’m learning what summer, heat and humidity are all about! Thankfully there is an invention called “air conditioning” that is keeping this Northern girl cool.
There has been a lot to celebrate in the last few months. First, at the end of June John, Nathan, Alyssa and I traveled to St. Louis to attend the International Christian Retail Show.

The trip started out by attending The Christy Awards where The Swiss Courier was a nominee for the historical fiction. Here is what one of the judges said about The Swiss Courier: “… A nail biter. I have read much about this time period and …For me, this is a winner!”
I also did three booksignings, and I loved meeting fans as I signed Songbird Under a German Moon, Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington, and The Swiss Courier.

Unfortunately, The Swiss Courier didn’t win … the award went to the amazing Lynn Austin for her novel Though Waters Roar. Congratulations Lynn! Here is a complete list of winners.
Awards and book releases are great, but nothing is more wonderful than a new addition to our family! Our oldest son Cory married a wonderful young woman named Katie. Katie is bubbly, fun, adorable, and she loves Jesus with all her heart. What could be better than that? We flew to Montana for the wedding and God gave us a perfect day. Here are a few photos.
