Hacked! and Other News...



First off, just a quick note to say that my Jools Sinclair email account was hacked yesterday. So if you received a rather strange email from me, I am sorry! I spent the morning sorting it out, and it looks like everything is fixed now. My apologies also for any inconvenience it may have caused...
 
Onto something more fun....

44 Book Five will be available on Amazon and BN on August 1. It takes place in the summer, one of my absolute favorite seasons here in Bend. Speaking of....the city is sure crowded this week....I'm thinking it's all the excellent beer being brewed up that's bringing everybody in...

Last week, I did manage to pull away from the computer and headed up to Sparks Lake for the first kayak trip of the season. It was spectacular!  Once I finish Book Five, I plan to spend a lot of days up in the mountains... kayaking, daydreaming, and hiking. Can't hardly wait......







But until then, it's back to Abby and Co. Hope you all are having a great July!

  1. So, can book 5 come out any sooner?? Lol :) I am very enthralled in this series!! I wish the books were longer, but they really pack a punch in a short book! Not everyone can pull that off, but you do a fab job! I am dying for book 5 :D

  2. Hi Jools. Just wanted to say how much im loving reading the 44 books! I downloaded the 1st yesterday lunchtime and 24 hrs later just finished book 4! i love reading about abby and her sadness about jesse at the end of book 1 and throughout book 2 is written so well and had me sucked in so much, I was in tears whenever they came together! Could really feel her pain and love for him. Well done, its fantastic, i hope there will be lots more books to come! tara x

    1. Hi, tara!
      24 hours! Wow, that's incredible! I need to pick up my writing speed over here :)
      Thank you SO much for the kind words...I read your comment early this morning and it made me happy all day... And the part about you being in tears made me smile because sometimes when I reread that last chapter in Book 1 the same thing happens to me :)
      Thanks again for writing and hope you are having a great week!

  3. Ah, the lovely summers that Bend has. I sure do miss that place. I may visit if my husband gets stationed in Washington or California. That would be pretty awesome. I definitely cannot wait for book 5. When I read your books, I reminisce about Bend and it's many places that I used to spend my time. I now live in South Carolina, a completely different and new place compared to Bend.

  5. Yes it really is the best... ive suffered from depression the past 3 years and one of the things that comes with it is not having the attention span to read, unfortunately. so now im devouring as many books as i can just in case i find i lose my concentration again, want to get in as much as i can if you know what i mean! counting down to aug 1st! do you have a facebook page? yes the sun is lovely! 34°¢ here on the south coast today, very hot for us, though nothing compared to US summers i bet!

    1. Hi, Tara!
      That's awesome that you have your concentration back so you can read again :)It sounds like there is quite a word feast going on over there...Yay!
      I don't have a Facebook page...hahah..it's on my ToDo list, but obviously I've tossed that list into a lake for the summer! This fall for sure...
      Your weather sounds perfect!
      Hope you're having a fabulous weekend!
