Summer is in full swing, and for me that means a lot of time watering the garden and trying to keep up with weeding and deadheading!  A gardener's work is never really done.  As I work in the garden, Oliver enjoys the lovely ripe lemon cucumbers and the oh-so-sweet Sungold tomatoes.  The harvests are bountiful, and I am so grateful for all of the bounty in my life beyond the garden.

Oliver's Garden is moving through the printing process, and after a small hiccup, we have a new release date of September 15, 2026.  Hardcover, softcover, and eBooks will all be available on that date through my website and other retailers.

Right now, I am in planning mode for the launch party, which will be held on release day at Flying Dog Pizza.  Oliver will be on hand for pictures.  I will have books available for purchase, and I am happy to personalize or sign them.  I have lots of ideas for the party, and I look forward to celebrating this milestone in my life with family and friends.

So for the next six weeks, I will be promoting my book and getting the word out.  I would love it if you would share about Oliver's Garden with your family and friends.  

Thank you to everyone who has expressed their excitement about this project; it really helps keep me going!
