A fun time at the Beach and a Freebie.

My family and I are fortunate to take a week's vacation each August. I love sitting on the beach and watching the boats, Sea-Doo's and parasailers go by. No writing got done as I was too busy having fun with my children and grandkids. A yearly highlight is a ride on the Pirate Cruise, where everyone is on the lookout for Long John Underwear. Lots of laughs on the hour-long cruise, along with a lifetime of memories.

Tiki boat filled with partiers and a parasailer flying overhead.

Now it's back to work on book 8 in my Samantha Davies series, Muskets, Mutts and Murder. What mischief will Porchop and Sam get into now?

And the freebie- Kibbles and Death, book 1 in the series, will be free from August 22-24. Go to www.sakazlo.com to order your copy.
