It’s almost here! Since the release of the Kindle version, many of you asked when the paperback would be ready. Well, you can now pre-order it at Amazon. I usually offer signed copies via mail, but since I’m living on a sailboat this summer, it’s going to be a while before I get settled back at my office.

We’re docked at Jekyll Island for the month of June, and if you recall, Alissia spent much of her childhood here. I’ve been visiting family in her hometown, which means I’ve been picking and shelling purple hull peas and eating lots of blueberry cobbler. Some of my family came to stay with me on the boat while my husband and son traveled to Atlanta for a business trip, and some friends from Florida visited the water park on the island for a day. Oh, and my two-year-old granddaughter is tagging along for a bit as well. Forget calm sunsets on the water–life has been crazy!

Next month looks promising, though. After a week with some friends, we plan to sail to Hilton Head for the month of July. We don’t know anyone in that area, so things should slow down.

I’ll do a post about Jekyll Island soon. I have many memories here, and so do my children. I’ll also do some posts about life on a boat. Last week I had three teenage girls aboard, and I quickly learned they shed worse than dogs. Hair was everywhere!

Be sure to get your copy of Unexpected Beginning, and please don’t forget to leave an honest review.
