Hello, July! I still cannot believe that the month of June has come and the year is already half way over. Summer is in full swing, and the outdoor fun has just begun. But, before I get sidetracked by our fun summer activities, it's time to recap last month. So now, without further ado, here's the list of the most popular blog posts for June 2021, chosen by you, the readers:
Writing a book takes many hours and dedication. Often it takes an author away from their loved ones.

When she isn't busy typing on her computer, she can be found chasing after her furry children or holding on tightly to a good cup of coffee. Follow her on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Goodreads.
