Announcing our August Book of the Month

via GIPHY

I am deep into writing Virginia, the sequel to Jessie. Historical fiction requires a ton of research but I am loving it. Last year, I was honored and thrilled when Jessie received the Patrick D. Smith Literary Award for Florida fiction and I am excited about continuing the story from the point of view of Jessie’s high school sweetheart.

While Virginia will be considered a stand alone novel, reading Jessie will add depth to her story. To encourage you to get started, Jessie will be on sale the month of August, reduced from $4.99 to 99 cents.

Quotes from reviews

“The core value and innocence of the era were captured very well. Kudos go out to Ms. Lyn on the ability to take your research and create the life and times of Jessie Cole.”

“Jessie surprised and delighted me. What started out as a simple boy’s dream emerged into a deep historical, emotional and spiritual journey sweeping through the sixties in NASA crazed Eastern Florida”

“Jessie was a delightful change of pace for me and a very refreshing read. This coming-of-age story was steeped in the history and constant stream of change that is characteristic of the 60’s. This book holds a true sense of authenticity as it takes you on a nostalgic journey to the past.”

Sweet Treats and Sweet Deals

Does anyone else crave sweets when they aren’t feeling well? The thought of regular food may turn my stomach, but a warm brownie makes me feel the tiniest bit better. The past few weeks I have barely had the energy to go to work, but every night I come home with this intense desire to bake. All of the fabulous recipes in the past two issues of Tea Time haven’t helped any either. Last week, I finally broke down and made some Orange Macarons with Chocolate Buttercream filling.

I had no idea how long these little cookies take to make! Three hours to allow the egg whites to sit at room temperature, 10 minutes or so to mix up the batter, 45 minutes to an hour to allow the batter to set, then about 25 minutes in the oven. The buttercream took another 10 minutes to mix up and about the same to fill the cookies. I was pretty happy with this first attempt though. Now that the weather is starting to cool off, I can see a lot more baking in my future.
