Correction: Romancing the Vote auction end date!
|
ACK!! I confused the end date of the auction. Probably because it will be the 6th for ME I put that as the end date for the auction, but it ends July 5th. The countdown clock below has been fixed. It's that time again! Every 2 years, Romancelandia bands together to raise money to protect voting rights. The three previous auctions raised over a million dollars, and this year's auction is closing in on raising $125,000 as I write this. In 2026 Romancing the Vote is supporting Vote Riders and The Southern Coalition for Social Justice, two organizations experienced in fighting to make sure every person's vote counts. The auction opened on July 1st and closes on the 5th at 7:00 PM CDT. I've donated several items to the auction including signed copies of TINDERBOX [SOLD!] INTO THE STORM [SOLD!] and COLD EVIDENCE. They will be listed with Buy it Now, which could go live at any time. Other items I've donated (click on the image to go to the auction item): Handmade Okinawan Teapot & 2 MugsComplete Evidence SeriesRomantic Suspense ChatMy daughter has also donated cover design services! She has two pre-made covers and these design packages. Series Redesign PackageSingle Cover DesignThere are hundreds of other items including $1 coloring pages, all kinds of arts and crafts, some amazing knit items and quilts, annotated books, more author chats, and so much more. With the Buy it Nows there is something for every budget. Browse the Auction

June certainly has been interesting! We started the rainy season on June 1st with a direct hit by a typhoon! We were fine. Okinawa is built for this and our house solid. The eye of the storm passed over us, and we had about a six hour break in the storm. It was wild how there was no movement, no wind, no rain, at all, while knowing we were in the center of a cat 1 typhoon. Here's a video I took when the winds were strongest. A week to the day after Typhoon Jangmi, we had a tsunami after a...
The weather has turned pretty sharply in Okinawa this May. We had cool, breezy days for the first half of the month, but in the last 2 weeks the summer humidity has returned and we've had some dramatic rainstorms that triggered flood warnings on the Hija River. Flowers are blooming everywhere. Here are a few I've snapped photos of on my walks. Some are in gardens and others are just growing in the wild. Passion Fruit Flower Multiple banana plants with bunches growing above the hanging flower...
