Reasons why September is my favorite month of the year

• Chilly mornings
• Campfire smoke
• Farmer’s markets
• Crisp Gala apples
• Home-cooked chili
• Autumn leaves
• Labor Day weekend
• My birthday
• Start of the school calendar
• Old friends coming and going
• Last chance to go mountain climbing
• First chance to take out winter clothes
• End of the summer slump
• Beginning of harvest season
• Orion and the Pleiades
• Clear blue skies
• Indian summers
• Long, chilly walks by moonlight
• The peace and quiet between summer vacation and the holidays
• Getting back into writing after a long and eventful summer

I’ll post another excerpt from Strangers in Flight soon (as well as a cover reveal for the omnibus!), but I woke up this morning feeling like life was awesome, and I had to share why. Of course life is awesome in more months than just September, but it’s my favorite month of the year, as you can definitely see!

Progress is going well on the next Sons of the Starfarers book! I’m on the third chapter, and it’s really picking up. My goal is to finish the first draft before the end of the month, then write book V in October while book IV is with my first readers, so that I can have everything squared away for a release in December or January. But if all goes well, it should be up for pre-order by November.

That’s just about it for now–better get back to writing. Take care, and have an awesome September! 😀
