Summer is finally here!

After way too many weeks of rain and clouds, it feels so good to finally welcome summer to Oregon! I don't know how the rest of country is doing weather-wise, but it seems as if our winter and spring just didn't want to step back and let the sunshine in, as the Fifth Dimension song goes.

I'm hard at work on my new book -- the 5th in the Sarah Woolson historical mystery series, tentatively titled DEATH ON TELEGRAPH HILL. After a few rocky pages, it's finally rolling right along. Maybe all I needed was the sunshine.

Our daughter Karen just arrived from California for a visit, which is always great fun. If the weather holds, we may even drive over to the coast for the day. I'll keep you posted. I've been way behind on my blogging, but I promise to do better this summer.
