LOST IN A GOOD BOOK BLOG
JUNE'S BOOK DISCUSSION INTRODUCTION
Welcome back to Lost in a Good Book at Writers and Readers of Distinctive Fiction.
The month of May seemed to slip right into June without a minute to spare. My family celebrated college and high school graduations-a lot of them. I now have kids to call on, if I ever have the need, with careers as probation officer, graphic designer, electrician and soon, if I decide to drive a semi-tractor to work, a diesel mechanic. If you count the son-in-laws, I’ll have another electrician this month and a maintenance tech to clean up any mess I make! With all the miles I traveled for ceremonies and the layers and layers of sugar-incrusted cake I ate, I’m anxious to slip into my pile of To-Be-Read and relax under the sun on my backyard deck.
This month is a special treat with our June Lost in a Good Book Session. We’ve got three great summer reads to discuss. Sister authors writing as K.M. Daughters bring us a murder-mystery with their novel Beyond the Code of Conduct. Cowgirl Dreams by Heidi M. Thomas is based on the life of her grandmother, a real Montana cowgirl in the year 1920 and Lillian Caudwell shares The Golden Treasure, from The Anna Mae Mysteries, her Paranormal Mystery involving the search for lost riches. If you’re looking for a summer escape that doesn’t have the high costs of a vacation to the Bahamas, all of these selections fit the bill. So grab your sunscreen and iced tea, get comfy on your lounge chair and join us for our June discussion at Lost in a Good Book at WRDF!
June's Discussion will run from the 21st - 30th. Get your selections, enjoy the reads, and be ready to join us. We are interested in your opinions, observations, and questions.

Eternal devotion to two important people forces this creature to dream, to see himself with honest eyes. Imagination runs wild, yet Michael Malone still desires death. Why should he survive? Two reasons… One is revenge. The other is love.
