Busy all day


I'm currently reading THE SEARCH by Nora Roberts. This is a stand alone novel published in July of this year. Here is a description:


To most people, Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life-a quaint house on an island off Seattle's coast, a thriving dog-training school, and a challenging volunteer job performing canine search and rescues. Not to mention her three intensely loyal Labs. But Fiona got to this point by surviving a nightmare...Several years ago, Fiona was the only survivor of the Red Scarf serial killer, who shot and killed Fiona's cop fiancé and his K-9 partner. On Orcas Island, Fiona found the peace and solitude she needed to rebuild her life. But all that changes on the day Simon Doyle barrels up her drive, desperate for her help. He's the reluctant owner of an out-of-control puppy, foisted upon him by his mother. Jaws has eaten through Simon's house, and he's at his wit's end. To Fiona, Jaws is nothing she can't handle. Simon, however, is another matter. A newcomer to Orcas, he's a rugged and in-tensely private artist, known for the exquisite furniture he creates from wood. Simon never wanted a puppy-and he most definitely doesn't want a woman. Besides, the lanky redhead is not his type. But tell that to his hormones. As Fiona embarks on training Jaws, and Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past tears back into Fiona's life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands...

It has 406 pages and I've gotten this from the library. I'm about 50 pages in and it's a bit heavy on the dog training info.


It's dark and 38 degrees this morning but never fear sun worshippers, it's supposed to be back in the 60s for days and days to come starting tomorrow.


Steve is going to stop by the gun range to check on the women's gun class but then may be moving to other activities. I need to get my butt in the chair in the downstairs office and just book on Premeditated, then a break to walk Tug and then back at it.


We're talking about going to a movie tonight, one of the older ones that we haven't seen while everyone is crowded at the new releases. It may be Salt or The Expendables.


Have a lovely weekend!


Much love,
