Now that I’ve wrapped up Smoke Screen, it’s almost vacation time. That means I’m rededicating myself to my exercise program. I’m doing cardio, which I hate, and Pilates with a trainer 2 days a week. I really love this. We’re doing mat work as well as programs on the Reformer, which looks like an instrument of torture out of the Spanish Inquisition.

My grandson Luke recently had his first Disney World adventure. He had a marvelous time…and Rachel had a Sandra Brown sighting! While walking through Epcot on an absolutely gorgeous Spring day, Rachel spies a woman sitting on a bench reading one of my books. She debated whether or not to approach the woman, and in the end decided why not? Turns out she was a big fan, and thrilled to meet Rachel, Pete, and grandson Luke.

SO, to the lady from Atlanta who passed up Epcot to read my book — Thank you!!

I’m scheduling the photo session for my book jacket for Smoke Screen. It’s one of my favorite days of the year, and Andrew Eccles is fabulous, but it takes weeks to prepare. Hair can’t be too short or too long. Nails must be just right. Will that zit be gone by then? Oh, and another reason to hit that Reformer!

Are you as happy as I am that Spring has finally arrived? You can see more of our gorgeous spring flowers in the photo gallery.
