The (Not So) Lazy Days of Summer

Just figured I should check in with a blogpost since it’s been AGES! I am looking forward to being able to share more with you about my upcoming cozy mystery series that will be releasing starting in June 2019, but in the meantime, I’ve been working hard to finish the first three books in it.

Summer hasn’t been slow for me–in fact, I don’t think I’ve slowed down at all yet. I was really honored to be able to be a workshop presenter and to participate in a publishing workshop at the West Virginia Writers Conference early this June. I had a fantastic time. One of my author friends I was pleased to meet face to face (after years of knowing each other online) was Brandy Vallance. You should check out Within the Veil, her gorgeous tale set in Scotland!

I haven’t been able to read much–but I’ve mostly been reading cozy mysteries to get a feel for what I need to bring to my upcoming series. I was pleased to receive an early reader copy of Joanne Bischof’s Sons of Blackbird Mountain, which releases July third! I’m also looking forward to reading Jaime Jo Wright’s The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond and Joanna Davidson Politano’s A Rumored Fortune.

My handsome redheaded husband just took me on a picnic date up on the mountain. We had a lovely time, despite a few annoying bugs! We’ve been married for 21 years now and it just keeps getting better, folks. 🙂

So as I go on writing this summer, I’d love to know what you are reading lately! Do you have any cozy mystery series you love?

Finally, for all my readers out there–all my book series are now in Kindle Unlimited. That means if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read through them all for free! You can find all my books here.

And please be sure to leave reviews when you read! I read all my reviews (for better or for worse! 😉 )

Have a wonderful summer, my friends!

-Heather

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal I’m thinking about getting for my car since I’m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirgini If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirginia-set books, you’ll know I’ve been taken with #TheGreenbrierResort from the moment I first visited it. It’s only an hour from me in #greenbriercountywv. Every year, I love walking around the grounds to see the #tulips—my favorite flower—and this year we caught them at just the right time. If you want to read about it in my books (I do on-the-spot research), check out Undercut and Deadlocked in my #hemlockcreeksuspense series or Fair Trade in my #BarksandBeansCafe #cozymystery series, among others. Setting books in the lovely town of #LewisburgWV is so fun—plenty of great shops and restaurants there, and if you’re ever in town, be sure to drop by The Greenbrier! #authorsofinsta #authorlife  #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvauthor #appalachianspring #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tuliplover🌷 #silversisters #marriedloveofmylife❤️ #heatherdaygilbertbooks #mysterylover
I’m making two separate things that made me happ I’m making two separate things that made me happy posts this week—the second will be pics of a quick trip to #TheGreenbrierResort to look at the #tulips. But here are some of my own tulips pics and other things I enjoyed this week: 1) got to get #coffee @otterandoakwv cafe with my daughter—always enjoy looking at artwork and the relaxing atmosphere. 2) if you’re from #WestVirginia, you can guess what these are—I cooked some up with fried potatoes this week. Anyone have a favorite ramp recipe to share? 3) my Rembrandt tulips that have candy cane colors, 4) my loud yet loving #flametipsiamese #cat Westley, 5) my grandson’s onesie that cracked me up, 6) more Rembrandt tulips from my #flowerbed. More to come with a tulip/Greenbrier photo dump soon! #authorsofig #authorlife #flowerstagram #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #catsofinstagram #cafe #wvauthor #wvrampseason
