Favorite books...how dedicated are you?

5/21/2022

There are so many good books out there. How do you know which book to read? I have found that there are some types of heroes or situations that I really enjoy. 
What do you look for in your romances? Are you one who likes to escape? Or do you like to read something that could actually happen?
I'm a take me away girl - although now that I'm on the road and have seen more and done more, like hike a volcano, take me away is getting further a field. 
Subject change...have you been watching Bridgeraton? It's outside of my genre, but I've binged season 1 and love it. Season 2 wasn't as good in my opinion. The costumes were great. The croquet game was delightful, but the character interactions when it came to the main characters left me cold. 
I did enjoy the younger sister, once she was empowered. "Was I this blind the whole time?" LOL. 
We are still on the road traveling back east across Route 66. My plan for the next few months is to edit the many manuscripts I have on my computer. It's not the fun part of writing, but people say it's when the book is written. 
As far as my low content books are concerned, I'm excited about my new blank comic book and blank comic book for RVers - What's better than traveling the country and creating your own comic book based on your adventures - nothing...that's what. 
Happy Spring, friends. Follow my travels on Facebook at Amuck in America.

A new state...finally

4/10/2022

The travels continue with Amuck in America. Writing continues on the road. I'm working on the third book in my middle grade trilogy between working on journal entries about our travels and videos about where we've been. At some point you'll be ready to see them, or I'll be ready for you to see them. 
Traveling has been so exciting recently. We've hit a bunch of National Parks, some with decent WIFI and others with zero. That's been extremely hard for an extroverted, Zoom addict who needs to be with her writer peeps. 
Please check out my books on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. There are probably some there that you haven't read. I'm working on some new fiction projects as well as some non-fiction books. I'm also working on an Etsy store and some fun books that will help you create your own books. I'll let you know as soon as those books are released. 
You can find out more about all of my releases on Facebook/HappyTrailsPublishing.
See you there.

Deep in the heart of texas

Texas is a huge state. We've had quite a month traveling around. I've been busy publishing and writing. We spent a day at Camping World having the RV looked at and diagnosed. Now we are waiting for parts until February 25th. 
The good thing about hanging out for two weeks at one campground, is that we've met some cool people. We met Melissa of Simple RV Cooking with Melissa and her husband Donnie, who was on the PBR tour back in the day. I was so psyched, as I had been to a show and loved it. 
We also met Brandon and Jayne of RV Traveling with 6. They have a huge RV and a fun family. Check out those two channels for some fun. 
In case I didn't mention it, Flashbangs and Nightsticks is now out in paperback and on Kindle! Whoo! Hoo! I'd love you to pick up a copy here, read it and leave a review on Amazon. That would really help me as an author. 
I also release a Battleship game book, where you can play Battleship on paper. It's really great for when you're in a blackout, snowstorm, or road trip, and it teaches a lot of great skills for kids. You can check it out here. 
I rejoined a writer's group from NJ. We are doing a Write Away 30K in February. Writing 30,000 words during the month of February. I'm going to reach that goal with only a few days left in the month. Once that goal is met, I will have to start editing some of the many projects I have ready for that stage. Are you guys waiting for more books? 
I also have four non-fiction books that I'm getting ready to publish, too. To say that I've been busy is an understatement. Well back to work writing more words for the 30K. 
I'm still working on the podcast called "Amuck in America" about our journey. I hope you'll join me as soon as it's released. If you know of places we shouldn't miss while traveling America, write to me at

It's not too late for Christmas. If you want to read my free Christmas story, click here.
Happy reading and all the best,

Hello 2022, or is that 2020, too?

Dear 2022, 
Come on...really? We started out so great. We went to New Orleans for New Year's Eve and got to see the Sugar Bowl Parade and catch beads, cups, coffee packets and it was awesome, until a few days later, when it all came crashing down in the form of a positive Covid test. Then, I got all the symptoms, too. We are finishing quarantining in the RV, the second week in January. At least that's over with. 

I did manage to get a lot of work completed...

Hot undercover police officer and a hot undercover DEA agent with a cute dimple, meet up while trying to solve the same case in Port City, Maine. 
It's steamy, naughty and ha a villain so evil you can't help but love him. 
Flashbangs and Nightsticks is being re-released in March. Same name, new cover, with tweaks and changes to make the story better.   
 
If you missed the book the first time, don't miss it this time. 

With the publication of a new camping log, a new cover for my Acadia National Park coloring book and a just released Pirate Journal for emergent writers, I'm excited about what's to come in 2022. The original RV motorhome Logbook now has been reformatted to a 6x9 size for easy storage in a glove compartment.

We're spending most of January in Texas, but will miss seeing our friends because of Covid. I'm not sure if I'm most excited about checking out Galveston, South Padre Island or Waco. They are all such different places. If you have a favorite haunt in Texas, let me know, we'll add it to the list.

Jolly...holly holiday

Hey readers,
 
It’s the middle of December and it’s cold in Maine and South Carolina (in the upstate), but in Florida and the other southern states it’s beautifully warm. We’ve been traveling and hitting a range of temperatures. Although we missed the snow and freezing rain in Maine, we got to spend a little time with friends and with my husband’s mother.
 
I crocheted my best friend a sweater and hat that matched. It was such a thrill to give it to her and to see that it fit. That was my biggest fear…that it wouldn’t fit. Hopefully, she’ll wear it out in Maine with all the cold weather.
 
We have loved seeing the Christmas lights. Westbrook, Maine did an amazing job lighting up their downtown. Kudos! Living in the RV, we don’t see a lot of lights, but we have seen some people who stay stationary, that have lighted up their sites. Others have the blow up Santas or other inflatables. At least showing a bit of spirit.
 
As far as writing and working on new projects, I’ve been busy putting out a new Planner and a new Children's bookren’s book.

I have a new cover for Flashbangs and Nightsticks that I can’t wait to share…I’ll share it below because if you’ve managed to find your way here, you deserve to see it and give some feedback.
 
Just recently, I contributed to a book on Gratitude that was created by Donna Kozik, who I’ve come to know and enjoy as a teacher and mentor. She’s very motivating. I have four entries in the book. Here’s the link for that on Amazon. The Community Book Project: Celebrating 365 Days of Gratitude: 2022 Edition: Kozik, Donna: 9798782544614: Amazon.com: Books
 
I will also have a page coming soon with a free Christmas story…I know Christmas is like any second, but these things take time and time flies faster than the planes I’ve been on recently. I have a cover for that story, too. I’ll drop a link as soon as I have it. I’ll have to sign up for my mailing list when you receive the story.
 
I want to finally take time to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. No matter who you celebrate with or what you celebrate, make it an amazing celebration of the year past and the year to come.
 
Soon I will be starting a podcast called "Amuck in America" about our journey. I hope you'll join me. If you know of places we shouldn't miss while traveling America,

On the road...finally

On the road at last. We have launched our adventure travels around the country. I've found myself trapped in the summer I longed for during the last three months. Now, I have found it in Florida. We are loving the vibe of the tropics. The happiness of people living where the weather is consistent most of the time.
Meanwhile, I've watched the pictures coming out of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, in all the fall colors and feel a sense of remorse for missing a season I have always loved. It's odd not to be apple picking and finding a pumpkin. I did make two apple pies at my sister's house, so I got that experience out of my system. 
I've also been working on lots of book projects. Crash and Burn has been released as a Kindle ebook and in paperback. I have also released a children's Halloween activity book. Have you seen The Chunky Girls Hiker Logbook and Journal? Don't miss that to record all of your hikes this fall. I appreciate you spending awhile checking out my pages. 
Soon I will be starting a podcast called "Amuck in America" about our journey. I hope you'll join me. If you know of places we shouldn't miss while traveling America, get in touch with me.

Is summer here?

10/12/2021

Hello readers! 
Summer has begun, or so they tell me. I know there are a lot more boats on the lake, but it's not warm. Sure we had a heatwave back in June, but we've been lucky to get to the mid-70s here in Maine. It's 64 degrees, on August 2nd. I really don't get what's going on with our weather. I have been swimming, however and I love it. I've also been crocheting and sewing and catching up on projects I haven't had time for while we were finishing up selling the house. The house now belongs to someone else, and I'm okay with that. Onward and upward. The open road awaits us. 
I have released The Chunky Hiker Journal and Logbook on Amazon and the second in the series The Chunky Hiker Does New Hampshire will be out this week. 
I finished the second book in my middle great series and have begun editing an older book that I have the rights back to and many of you haven't read. It's a fun, fast paced read called "Crash and Burn". I'm off for a walk while the weather is cool. Enjoy your weather.

Bugs, smiles and sun

Hello readers! I'm glad you stopped by. Here's the continuation of our saga. Our plans are progressing forward. I missed my first deadline of getting the house on the market by mid-May. However, it will go on the market this week with showings next weekend, June 11-14. The whole thing has been stressful, but I finally learned something first hand that I've been hearing for years. Your time is valuable. If it's not your specialty or field, let someone else do the job. 
I can do everything has always been my mindset and most times I can given the time and enough energy. This time I needed help and it was recommended by my realtor, my sister and others. I hired the best cleaning lady to go through my house top to bottom. It took her more than 8 hours, but man, my house has never looked better. I also learned some new cleaning hacks. Bonus. 
My realtor thought it was necessary to have a professional come cut our lawn. Since we sold our lawn care items, it was for the best. Also, the pictures would look awesome. The man was sooooo thorough. He must have gone over the grass three or four times, even after the initial cut. There was the blowout of old caked grass, the extra trimming around the edges and more work than we've ever done before.  So, I'm sitting i the garage with the dog, trying to keep cool and get things done. The most amazing thing happened...our 23 foot Thor Gemini RV arrived earlier than expected, which has been the transition so much easier. We are sleeping in it now and sorting through all of the things we wanted to keep in the RV, but now realize we can't. 
As far as writing is concerned, I'm almost at the finish line for my middle grade book. I've reached my word goal, now I have to wrap up the story. It's been so much fun to write. I can't wait for all of you to read it. 
I also have published a Llama Drama planner and a Maine themed guest book for bed and breakfasts and Air BnBs. I love creating these specialized books that can really help people. I'll even be adding a new page to this website dedicated to the publication of these books. I hope you'll check them out on Amazon.

Spring has sprung...the grass has riz

6/3/2021

It's spring in Maine, although it's only 28 degrees as I write this. The days are getting warmer and the sun is shining brighter with more intensity. We don't have anymore snow in our yard and the green stalks of spring flowers have poked through the ground. It brings joy to my heart.
I'm still not going very far from home. I've eaten out once with one of my organizations and I go to the store. That leaves me a lot of time for writing, editing, exercising and managing the project of packing up our house. 
We are planning to move once our house goes on the market and sells. For now we will spend the summer at our family camp in Downeast Maine, then my husband and I will hit the road to see some of our country. We're pretty fired up about it. 
If you know of any place we should not miss, let me know, I'll add it to our list of places to see and things to do.
I have published a few low-content, but super helpful books. One is a blood pressure tracker and the other is an RV Motorhome Maintenance Logbook. They can both be found on Amazon. Between creating those, I have also been writing Book 2 in my pirate series. I'm having so much fun. I can't wait to share these books with all of you. 
I will also have re-releases of older books coming out this summer. And, a new release as well. Thanks for being with me on this journey.

The Month without a holiday

3/31/2021

I'm still here. Even though I hadn't updated the website since December, I've been hunkered down in Maine. I have lots of projects on my to-do list and I'm slowly working though those and working at my other jobs. You all haven't been far from my mind. And, then the month would be over. January - gone. February - gone. Now it's March and don't look away, because that will be over soon, too. 
I'm having a book sale on books I have in stock. The shipping is free and the books will be signed. Reach out to me by email or I think you might be able to purchase them on this site in the near future. I'm accepting Paypal and Venmo. If you buy more than one book, there might even be a discount.
There are so many exciting things coming up for us in 2021. I'm looking forward to the adventures and challenges.
March is a hard month. Most people don't have a day off from work or school. Some colleges have spring break, but if they're learning remotely, what does that even matter. Also, where are they going to go? This makes it even more important that we get outside and do something in our own hometowns. Go for a walk, try snowshoeing or just stand in the sun and feel the warmth on your face, then run back inside because it's freezing out there. I'm hoping that March will be more like last year with the warm weather arriving early. We were able to clean the yard and garden early. Nothing better to do during a pandemic than grown your own produce and burn all of the fallen branches from the winter. We love to have a campfire and burn stuff. 
Please take care of yourselves. We've been dealing with a crazy world for a year and it doesn't look like things are going to get better anytime soon. So, keep your head up and keep reaching for the stars with everything you're trying to accomplish.
