        The Last of the Sinners has received its cover and will be released on August seventh. No cover yet for number nine of the Longleigh Chronicles, A Gentleman and a Scholar but it, too, will be released by August. Currently, I am doing research for the tenth book, The Benedict's Bride, where the first son and heir, James, meets his match after years of evading marriage.

        But I have a busy year ahead with a new grandchild expected, travels to Scotland, and Christmas in Minneapolis where we are sure to have snow. We've just returned from viewing the total eclipse in the Dallas area where my astronomer husband set up three viewing devices and shared them all with passersby and the hotel staff. Totality was spectacular. Being in a metro area, we also got to dine on German and Nepalese food and visit was few sites, the crowded but beautiful Aquarium and the Dallas Arboretum, lovely even in the rain the day after the eclipse.

        Travel does cut into my writing time. I think next year will be a one book year. Hope to get it out by August if not sooner. Meanwhile read one of my other thirty-six titles to escape from the real world for a while.
