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!
It’s the last day of April 2025! Although I didn’t finish my three month goals from January-March, I did manage to get serious about getting organized. I will now get those goals accomplished within 4-6 weeks. I was frustrated to say the least. But instead of whining about what I couldn’t do, I started working … More NO TURNING BACK!
It seems like there are still a thousand loose ends to be tied, before we can start production. It has been overwhelming to say the least. Sometimes I get upset about it and weary. Then suddenly…! I was writing about something titled The Lost Chapter. I actually wasn’t sure what I was going to do … More PIECING ITSELF TOGETHER!
Whew! It’s been almost a month since my last blog. Normally, I try to keep up at least a few times a month. But it has been a whirlwind lately and I am finally now just finding some time to catch up. All is well in our Summer Ray world. But things take time to … More A WHIRLWIND!

When I first started writing the book, (I didn’t know there would end up being eight), I was an amateur. … More EXTRA MILE WORK!
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!
