As I was finishing up the edits on the 3rd book, Her Yankee Heart, Jason and I went back to the Monocacy Battlefield in Frederick, Maryland. (https://www.nps.gov/mono/index.htm) Our initial plan was to stop by the Best Farm. You can see it in the background. But due to the snow, we couldn’t get in. So, it … More A GLOBAL NEED!
I guess my first question should be, “What was I thinking?” I don’t know if it is normal for a book author to write the screenplays, or to be heavily involved in the producing and filmmaking part too. But I just felt it was something I also needed to do. We have now entered our … More CURRENT UPDATES!
2024 has been an uphill battle with my health. But thankfully, I am making progress little by little. It’s been this way with the project too, and I think why I understand patience. I know God always works things out for the good! I am definitely better than I was last year. 2025, I will … More THE NEXT FEW STEPS!
So excited to share that JLove Publishing will be in operation shortly. I just felt it was time for a change. I took this picture ironically at the base of Big and Little Round Tops. It was confirmation that my time of being in the cocoon with RTP was over. It is time to fly … More MY MIND IS SET!
I try to write a blog at least once a week. Lately, that has not been the case. I am in the process of moving again and have had serious pain in my left arm. Which made typing not so fun. But there are updates and I want to be sure to pass them along. … More FOR THE DURATION!
So, in my efforts to “create the buzz,” what have I started? https://thememoirsofsummerray.com/2024/05/25/creating-the-buzz/ Yikes! There is so much information to study that at times, I feel buried underneath it all. Still, in all of that I am learning what I have done wrong and how I need to fix it. But it all starts with … More THE EXTRA MILE!
In our 15th year of this project and I finally feel like we have a solid foundation. I do not consider the time before this wasted years. I consider it, on the job training. Or as if I have been in college all those years. I have not yet graduated as I feel the book/film … More CREATING THE BUZZ!
I never would have thought in a million years that I would actually be writing, “The Memoirs of Summer Ray.” This new series is written, in Summer Ray’s first person point of view and I got to say, “I am in love with it!” I know the difference between loving someone, and being in love … More A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!
Pretty sure I am nuts. How is that for an opening statement! But yep! I can either sit here and ignore God’s leading, or I can go with it. But God’s way is always BEST. I can physically see the changes He wants to make and they are, of course, AMAZING! I have started to … More A CURVE BALL!
I look above my computer to my shelf, where my entire Summer Ray book series is displayed. After my head injury in my early 30’s, my remembrance of it all and writing the story – is almost non existent. I simply have no recollection of it. This is due to the part of my brain … More LIMITLESS POSSIBILITES!
