Wow! That was Quick!

A glance at my calendar this morning informed me that my first 2-month summer vacation in Canada since 1959 is now almost one-half completed — already!

It seems like just a few days ago I was drafting that earlier message to let you know I was taking a break from writing, editing, and all things promotional for July and August. The time has passed remarkably quickly. So, what have I been doing?

First, I’ve been getting lots of exercise. I moved my walking segment to mornings, to better cope with some very hot and humid days; but still had to move inside on a few days when the air quality dropped dramatically due to extensive forest fires. However, indoors or outside in the summer weather, I’ve managed 5 or 6 days of good, brisk one-hour plus walks each week in July.

I’ve also spent more time in the gym with weights, building strength in my arms and legs. Both forms of exercise seem to be paying off with better and longer sleep. I’m feeling more rejuvenated and energized.

I’ve also caught up on yard work. Mowing and trimming the lawn, weeding our garden, and generally puttering around our home has helped me catch up on some long-needed repairs and maintenance.

And I’ve had some time to read!

As for that reading part, I hope you can say the same for your time and your summer. If any of the books you’ve read include my novels, I hope you’ll take only a few moments to add a brief review on GoodReads, Amazon, Indigo, or wherever you bought your copy. Even a simple sentence and rating helps potential readers feel more comfortable trying one of my stories!

Please also keep in mind that I’m still signing copies of books ordered from my website. So, if you’re missing one the nine novels in the Multima Saga or would like to surprise a friend or family member, feel welcome to place an order for summer reading.  I don’t consider personally signing copies of my books as ‘work’!   https://garydmcguganbooks.com/
