June

Greetings to all
Someone said 'we had June in March and now we're having March in June' ... but wasn't that a great rain on the weekend? Everything, including the weeds, will jump out of the ground as soon as the sun breaks through.
A seed planted more than twenty-five years ago has borne a crop for me. The publication of Bruce Township Five Ghost Towns happened June 1 at Underwood [which is not a ghost town]. This 60-page book takes readers back to the early years, visiting Sinclair's Corners, Malta, Port Bruce, Gresham, and Lovat. Thanks to the Township of Bruce Historical Society for sharing its photo resources, providing volunteer proofreaders, and hosting the launch. They've even posted a few photos on their website www.brucetownship.ca my first online top billing! Enough about moi...
Congratulations to Anne Grobbo on the release of her 6th crime novel. Suitable Fate: A Gloria Trevisi Mystery is available in Kindle, Kobo, Fictionwise and other ebook outlets from Double Dragon e-publisher. Anne reports soon it will be out in trade paperback from Lulu.com. If you have not yet discovered the adventures Gloria has as a small-town newspaper editor in fictional rural Ontario, take my advice and find some for great beach reading this summer.
On to your calendar for June, 2012, with hopes you can take in some of these events,

Anne
