Hello Summer! I hope that this season provides everything you love. I aim to have dinner at the beach as often as possible. Even PB&J tastes better with one's toes in the sand and a panoramic view of endless waves.

I'm beginning to write Book# 5, the series finale, and taking our intrepid Maeve to Ireland! It's time to make a cup of tea and start writing! As always, thanks for reading.
Chris. I’m so glad your books are successful! ( I absolutely love them. I could see myself having Maeve as a friend). I hope you’re enjoying this experience. Lynn
