March has roared in with an ample amount of rain and wind. But heck, that just means spring is nearly here. Snow-white dogwood blossoms, golden forsythia and yellow daffodils already declare old man winter is moseying northward. My wife and I commented on the bright green pastures while traveling Georgia’s backroads this past weekend. Yep, cardinals, crows, sparrows, and finches await the arrival of bluebirds from their winter homes. Of course, that means pollen will soon fill the air along with the roar of lawn mowers and children returning to the outdoors. The annual good news in March is always about Saint Patrick’s Day! Since my wife and I are headed to Ireland for our 50th Anniversary, this St. Patty’s Day has a special meaning for certain. Erin go bragh (Ireland Forever).

The pictures from our Savannah adventure depict sights, sounds, smells and tastes we enjoyed talking about my latest novel, The Last Laird of Sapelo. I may be retired, but I ain’t slowing down anytime soon. Meeting Deborah Royce, exNFL great Frank Murphy, and David Baldacci was awesome but the highlights surrounding meeting and greeting so many new fans of historical fiction over the past few weeks made all the travel well worth the long hours racing up and down Georgia and North Florida.
Stay tuned, I’m pretty certain, there’ll be more coming next month for certain.
Just because its winter doesn’t mean readers are not searching new books and wanting to hear new stories to lure them into new books.
So where has Mike been lately and where is he and Connie headed next? Go here for upcoming events.
