I did lots of travel and little writing this summer, but now I’m in the midst of revising my mystery for adults. I’ll email you end of next week once it’s off to my agent for feedback. We get the puppy that weekend too.<br /><br />Rose and Jan, thanks! My son and I had fun this time on a different island, Nantucket. We had to leave early because of the hurricane. Our visit started with the mini earthquake. All very exciting for my son.<br /><br />Sapphire, by the time Irene hit Maine, it was a tropical storm. Lots of branches came down and neighbors lost power, but the damage was far greater in the south.<br /><br />ACIL, welcome back! I love Cornwall. We were there for 2 days in June. I’m back from my second vacation to Nantucket Island. It’s the busy week before school starts for my kids. I wish I could be back at the beach.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-90435096854494656222011-08-29T11:49:42.648-04:002011-08-29T11:49:42.648-04:00The images, the text, the descriptions.

Rather fun, I think.<br />So sad summer seems to be drawing to a close.<br />I have been thinking of you lately and wondering how your writing is coming and whether you have been taking a summer break.<br />All best wishes.

I was thinking of you after the India-England test match. Your team showed excellent sportsmanship. I'm still working on the cricket scenes in my latest young adult novel. It's tricky figuring out how to introduce this foreign sport to Americans.

Next time I visit my old college roommate on Deer Isle, I’ll look you up too. She invited me this August, but I’m too busy with work and other family plans. Give me a shout if you’re passing through Brunswick too, another good lunch spot.<br /><br />Kacky, somehow I’ll survive the experience of teaching my son to arrive. He’s actually quite a cautious driver for a 17-year-old boy. New situations like that throw him (and me) for a loop.

We had a gorgeous sunny day today, but this has been an unusually wet August. I went to Bruges with my friends the summer after we graduated from high school. It was charming and had terrific food. You’ll love it. Happy Birthday!<br /><br />Tracy, already in school? Yikes! My kids don’t start until the day after Labor Day although sports preseason has already started. I hope your daughter had a good first day.<br /><br />Pamela, September is early enough for school. I always feel bad for the kids as the weather is so delightful then. I emailed you about State of Wonder and am looking forward to hearing your reaction to the book.<br /><br />Bonnie, you can order the jams online, link below.
