I MADE MY DEADLINE! Sure enough, the whole country shot off a bunch of fireworks to
celebrate that fact, too. Let the summer fun begin! I’m happy to report I’ve already
been to a baseball game. The D-Backs beat the Padres, partly because of a home run by Justin
Upton, which was the second longest homerun in Diamondbacks history. I like to think Justin was
inspired by me making my deadline.
Now that I’ve made my deadline (have I mentioned that?), I can fully enjoy the month of July,
which includes two major treats. First up, Audrey and I are traveling to Kanab, Utah, where we’ll
spend several days at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. I sponsor two kitties, Royale and Sunset, and
a sheep named Sebaaaastion. I’ll get to meet them, along with all the dogs, birds, horses, and
bunnies living at this amazing no-kill shelter. Look for pictures on the website later on this month!
At the end of July, Audrey and I are off to the Romance Writers of America national convention
in San Francisco, where I’ll accept the Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award. Wow. I hope to
see many of you there! For those who won’t be in San Francisco to hear my speech, let me thank you
here for all the incredible support through the years. Without you, I wouldn’t be walking up on that
stage, and I’m immensely grateful. You rock!
Appreciatively yours,
Dream no little dreams, for they contain no magic.
