A Summer Time Book Review

This is the first book in seven from my fun historical mystery series titled Amazing Gracie Mysteries. To get to know the mischievous Gracie Evans from Locked Rock, Iowa and the rest of her friends in the Moser Mansion retirement home it's best to read the books in order. Now having brought up reading I must admit there are many outside activities in the summer to take up our time instead of sitting indoors reading a book. After all, warm weather is much too short and winters in Iowa seem extra long, and this last one was stretched out by a cool, rainy spring.


However, for those who enjoy air conditioning after being out in the garden in this super hot summer time, or those that go for an early morning walk and take a break with a second cup of coffee afterwards, you need something to occupy the cool down time. Pick up a book and read a chapter or two before you go back outside.

My stories are written like the books I want to read. Recently, I published a book with a Christmas theme - Leona's Christmas Bucket List. Now I'm working on another holiday book - Christmas With Hover Hill. I must admit at the slow rate I'm going it may be Christmas before that book is done. When the weather is rainy or cold then I don't mind staying at the computer, but during this hot, dry spell, I've not been anymore creative than the summer heat.

I do sit down at the computer but with my eyes on what's going on outside. The robins are hopping about trying to figure out where the night crawlers disappeared to in the hot grass. Young barn swallows sit on the electric wires, singing their sad cheeps now that Mom has abandoned them for a new batch of babies. Whoops! The little goat is out again. He's headed for my in full bloom, red candy striped ivy geranium with the intention of grazing on the blooms. I bought the plant for its beautiful blooms not goat feed. By the time I'm out the door, bare foot no less because I didn't have time to put on my shoes, my plant has one less bloom, and he's licking another. Now you see what happens to my concentration.

That doesn't mean my readers should give up on seeing another book by author Fay Risner since we all know fall and winter will be back all too soon. What I want to share with you is the following post by a reader on Linkin. When I see a review like this, it reminds me that there are readers that like the same kind of books that I do. Mainly, the genres that makes you smile and entertains. I really appreciate being reminded of that once in awhile. It energizes me to keep writing.

Details of the Recommendation: "I have read most of Fay's books. Fay has a variety of work. Some books are full of history and detail. Other books are funny and light hearted. Fay also has a mystery series that has wonderful characters solving all sorts of crimes. She has another series about an Amish family. These books are great books for fun filled relaxation."
