I finished writing Sushi and Suspicions and turned it in! To celebrate, I ate my favorite peach jelly from Minamoto Kichoan ! I was a bit surprised to realize at the end of the book that there wasn’t as much romance as in some of my other books, maybe because there were a lot of characters in this book compared to other romantic suspense novels I’ve written. Sushi and Suspicions will be releasing in June in the multi-author box set Summer Suspicions . Even though it’s a box set, each Christian Romantic Suspense novel in it is a full book, so it’s a great deal! Preorder Summer Suspicions for only 99 cents!

Leave any prayer requests in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request or email me. Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray 3 Sundays.

Bible in 90 Days: Day 75. I love how the NTL makes Romans so much easier for me to comprehend. For some reason, in the NIV it was difficult for me to absorb the logic of Paul’s words. I have yet to get the new TNIV version, but the iPod audio version is being released soon, I think.
Writing: Got a little done on Friday, and took Saturday off. I hope to get some done today, but my first priority is getting everything ready for Mt. Hermon.
Diet: I was baaaaaaaaaad yesterday because I ate potato chips, and late at night, too. :( I had wor won ton soup for lunch today. Maybe I’ll be good and be able to have self control for dinner? It’ll be an easy version of coq au vin tonight.
