Here in Southern New England, we are having a heat wave of sorts. Several days of temperatures in the nineties with lots of humidity and only slight chances of thunder showers. So how am I spending the week?

Camping, of course.

Honestly, I have been spending so much time camping this summer, I'm thinking it's going to have be be a new series. A main character who travels around in an RV and has adventures.

But, I would love some input. As you may know, I write young adult romance, adult romance, and mysteries. You may not know I have also dabbled in middle grade adventure and fantasy, and probably a few other genre I've forgotten. So, my question is, what kind of book should my RV adventures be?

Should it be a middle grade book where a brother and sister go camping with their family and their parents force them to go on hiking trips full of mosquitoes and kayaking trips in leaky boats?

Or should it be a young adult book where an MC is dragged around the country by her parents to places where her cell phone gets no reception and her mother insists on attending historically significant places, like Philadelphia and Gettysburg?

Maybe it should be an adult romance, where the MC enters a contest to find a hidden treasure, traveling to various campgrounds and exploring their hiking trails in order to unearth the next clue, befriending some of the other treasure hunters and becoming more than friends with one of them.

Do you like any of these ideas? While I wait for your feedback, I may start penning some of these this weekend.

As I mentioned in my last email, I am playing around with my newsletter format. One reader suggested dividing my newsletter with more headers, so I decided to try it this week. What do you think? Do you like it? Should I get rid of them?

What other changes would you like to see? Would you like more information about the giveaways and sales? Would you like more book blurbs? Do you like reading my reviews?

Feel free to reply to this email with your suggestions and stay tuned for changes in the next few newsletters.

My young adult romance is still looking for reader feedback. Here's the blurb:

He's the vile boy next door. Who also knows her biggest secret.
Sixteen-year-old Izzy is excited about the all-school ski trip. She is looking forward to learning to ski, even if she will be the only one on the bunny hill. Of course, she has to first make it through a five-hour bus ride with the vilest--albeit cutest--boy in school. And survive the roommates who keep breaking her one rule: "No sleeping with your boyfriend in my bed!"

When an unexpected power outage triggers a panic attack, Izzy is forced to tell Pug her biggest secret. She's even more surprised to learn his, spending the rest of the long weekend looking at her enemy in a new light.

But their secrets are nothing compared to the one Izzy's mother has been keeping for sixteen years. When Izzy discovers the truth, she must learn to confront her panic disorder or else live with the elephant sitting on her chest.
