🌊 This week...from the Coast

It's been a little rainy this week, even so, the breeze has been just strong enough to make me feel like I should be doing something productive (I love an open window!) but not quite strong enough to convince me to actually do it 😄

I’ve been taking full advantage of these slower moments—coffee outside, a short walk here and there, and a few extra pauses during the day that feel a little indulgent (in the best way).

It’s funny how being near the water has a way of clearing your head… and at the same time, filling it up with new ideas. Don't get me started on the people watching, I could write pages about that!

🍰 Cozy Corner: Little Comforts & Clever Finds

This week’s cozy find:

My morning coffee is always an absolute, but since I've been trying to cut back on artificial additives and ignore the calling of International Delight from the refrigerated cases of my local grocery story, it's been a bit boring with just my cream. This week's find is powdered Madagascar vanilla bean! Adds a nice touch of flavor to my coffee.

Let me know if you've tried it, or if you have another hack to add a little joy to my morning cup!

✍️ From the Writer’s Desk

This week in my writing world…

Now that Death on a Dinner Cruise is out in the world (which still feels a little surreal!), and I'm hard at work on Book 2 (A Corpse at the Clambake) I'd like to ask if you’ve already read Death on a Dinner Cruise… I’d truly love to hear what you think.

🍷 Dishin’ with Deb

I’m curious…

If you're spending the day in the sun what's you go to for sun protection? Heavy on the sunblock, no sunblock, or a big hat? (In case you're wondering, I am a BIG sunhat kinda girl and always searching for that shady spot under the umbrella!)

Hit reply and tell me—I love hearing from you (and I promise I won’t gossip… much 😉)

💛 What I’m Loving Lately

This week: What I’m watching

Yes, I admit I binge on Netflix series, and my most recent was UNCHOSEN. I'm not going to give away the ending, but let's just say there were a few twists.

There’s something about ending the day with a show (and a snack) that just feels like a small reward.

If you’ve watched anything lately that you’d recommend, I’m always looking for something new!
