Thank you Carmen Stefanescu for wishing me well on the release day of A Year of Summer Shadows – Riverton Road Romantic Suspense Series Book 2 I have to say that this one feels special. Maybe because I’m letting myself truly experience the accomplishment of it. When I put out Book 1 of this series I was so anxious I was numb. I couldn’t feel much of anything. Also I didn’t write and submit my guest blog posts in advance so I was jammed flat against the wall with deadlines. I learned from that. I had them all written and into my blog hosts far in advance – including the one on your wonderful blog Carmen – http://shadowspastmystery.blogspot.com – that will post this coming Friday June 26th. Thanks so much for welcoming there for a first-time appearance with a story excerpt titled “What Happened Here#8221;

Hi Caroline Clemmons. I couldn’t agree more. Today is official launch day for my new book A Year of Summer Shadows. I don’t know specifically what’s causing my tummy to swirl so fast and furiously. But I’m certain there’s a bit of panic in there. I’m trying to adhere to the reminder printed on a 5″x 8″ card on my refrigerator door. UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE – CELEBRATE EVERYTHING! I think if we can keep that in mind. That we are blessed and privileged to do what we love and that is cause for celebration always – then we have a chance of transforming our tummy flutter into butterflies. I hope so anyway.
