I am a mother of four, grandmother of five, one dog, three cats and throw in a few fish. When I am not writing I am... spending time with my family; figure skating; riding my bike (the peddling kind); being a "crazy camera lady" taking pictures of my beloved Gettysburg Battlefields; struggling with my alphabet issues of TBI, OCD, PTSD and ADD! Though very often frustrated by my disabilities, I strive everyday to better myself and the world around me.
I am happy to announce that the 2nd book, Savannah’s Calling, will be published soon. You can click on the first picture of volume 1, This Fair and Blighted Land, to view that book on Amazon. If you go back through my blogs, you will read that I have always strived for excellence. But excellence … More SOMEWHAT DIVINE!
On the days when I am really struggling, little pieces of happiness like the above photo, puts a little bit of spark back into me. My film meeting with our Fiscal Sponsor yesterday was also pretty amazing. I will be taking a class for writing a TV series soon. The pilot screenplay is a two … More THIS PART OF THE PROCESS!
My last post was June 27th. Today is July 24th. If there is one thing I miss, it’s connecting with Y’all and keeping you updated! But I have been very busy and just dealing with health issues. I do have several book singings coming up. For more information please visit https://thememoirsofsummerray.com/book-signings-other-events/. I hate that other … More SLOWLY BUT SURELY!
New York City! What are you doing? There are cities I love and there are those I fell in love with. You are the latter. You are literally all throughout my Summer Ray Series! Why? It is because I loved you so much. But I guess there is always green screen technology that can replace … More A GLIMMER OF HOPE!
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” John 1:5 (NLT) “The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out.” John 1:5 (MSG) I remember the day well. I was all dressed up, my hair and make up done. I had on a really nice black shirt. But … More LIGHT THE WORLD!
I am getting more and more excited by the day. This Fair and Blighted Land (volume 1 – 2nd edition), will be available soon. I am working on merchandise for the new store as well. Plus, I am in the process of running as a “Write – In” for Mayor of Gettysburg. Over the years, … More THE REAL GETTYSBURG!
I had a very happy family vacation time at Bethany Beach. But back home and back to work on Summer Ray. I ended up having to change the first book cover again. I thought it was finally finished. But due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to change it. This is a sample draft … More SO MUCH MORE!
The last few days we were moving into a bigger apartment. It definitely has twice the room as we were temporarily crammed into a studio apartment. But it took a week to move, paint and clean. I was shocked we had so much stuff, as 80% of what we have is still in storage. It … More EXCITED TO SEE EXPANSION!
Because we are fiscally sponsored by From the Heart Productions http://www.fromtheheartproductions.com, I met the amazing and talented Adam, who created this book cover and the others that will follow. My book cover below Adam’s design, is truly amateurish. Thankfully, I grew to trust Adam’s brilliance and I am so happy I did. So what is … More IS IN SIGHT!
So, since my new skates will take 4-6 weeks to get to the Pro-Shop where I skate, my coach Cathy and I are doing just off ice stretching and strength training. Do to three chronic illnesses that are all COVID related, I lost a lot of muscle and my flexibility. But over the last year, … More RELATABLE!
