Are you still sheltering in place? Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one. It feels wise to remain careful here in the South, where cases are rising. Of course, I go to the grocery store when I need to, and the post office, and run other errands while wearing a mask. But mainly, I am still spending a lot of time at home.
Here in my turtle shell, challenges and blessings abound. I am fortunate to have such a beautiful place to shelter here in the mountains of North Carolina. And even though I am very good at entertaining myself and my turtle shell is full of books, it is still a challenge sometimes. Perhaps it is for you, too.
Another blessing is that I have meaningful work that I do from home. This morning I am working on a scene in Violet’s Tea Shop where my characters Queenie, Rose, and Violet have a Girls Night Out on the River District in Savannah. So, even though I can’t enjoy that kind of get-together myself right now, I am enjoying it vicariously by imagining the scene.
If you are still in your turtle shell, congratulate yourself for getting through the challenges. Pat yourself on the back for your perseverance. Throw yourself a kiss in the bathroom mirror for your resilience. It is a big deal what we are doing, and you are courageous to keep it up.
Stay steady, my friends. Stay safe!
Love,
Susan
Thank you so much for writing one more book on the Temple family. Looking forward to reading more about Violet and how her business is doing and how the others are doing as well.
I’m glad you are looking forward to it, Kathleen. Lots of writing to do before it is finished, so I appreciate your patience. Be kind. Stay well.

Hi Marilyn. I’m glad you are excited about the new book. It is still the early stages, so I will appreciate your patience as I write it. This will be book 3 of the Temple Secrets series, making that a trilogy. Thanks so much for reading my books!
