Here in my neck of the woods, spring is in full swing, and I couldn’t be happier about it. It’s no secret that I love the holidays, but the lengthy stretch of winter after the new year really makes me long for extra daylight and porch reading weather. I’m thrilled that both are gradually getting here, and I hope we’ll all be enjoying the new season very soon.
I continue to work on The Sullivan’s Island Supper Club (forthcoming), but I still haven’t chosen a release date for it. As expected, life has gotten in the way recently, and while I am confident that I’ll be finished soon, I am still juggling a few too many things to commit to a launch date just yet.
Before you feel bad for me, I need to tell you that this month’s biggest interruption was accompanying Sugar on a company trip to Cabo San Lucas. The company he works for organizes a working trip biannually for employees and their spouses. In addition to the meetings, we went on a whale watching excursion and enjoyed several group events. Many of these folks I haven’t seen since the last company trip two years ago, so while I had a fabulous time catching up with everyone, as you might imagine, I didn’t get many words on the page. It was our first time in Cabo and the trip was wonderful.
Next month, I’m attending the Lancaster County Literary Arts Festival in Lancaster, South Carolina. The festival takes place on Saturday, April 13th and begins at 11:00 A.M. Eastern. I am honored that the festival is spotlighting Lowcountry Boil, and I hope that if you’re in the area, you’ll come out and join us. The Lancaster County Council of the Arts and the Lancaster Library are currently giving away copies of Lowcountry Boil in preparation for the event! The event is free and open to the public, so check out the complete details here and make plans to attend.
In case you missed it, the second edition of Lowcountry Bombshell is now available in audiobook format, and you get a copy in my store as well as at all the usual retailers. It’s available at Audible, Apple, Libby, and Hoopla.
Finally, foodie friends will be glad to know that there is a new recipe this month! We took a poll in the Lowcountry Book Club, and the most asked for recipe was the Crispy Potatoes with dip from the Whole Food Plant-Based table at Eugenia’s funeral reception. You’ll find Crispy Potatoes with Vegan Caramelized Onion Dip waiting for you here. Confession: this recipe does have a very small amount of olive oil, but it can be omitted if you prefer. This is a great appetizer, snack, or side dish. For those who try this one out, please let me know how you like it!
