High up the 12-foot rebar I use for my tomatoes, sat a very patient dragonfly. Waiting. For me to discover him as I fussed around my plants. Waiting. For me to admire him when I did notice. Waiting as I, having forgotten to take my phone to the garden that morning, walked back to the house to fetch it. Waiting. Until I returned. Waiting, while I cautiously circled inward, wondering how close he would let me get. And only when I had camera-roll’s worth of shots did he stir and fly off. As though to say he had only stopped by for the world to admire him.

A Ghost in the Tide, the 11th book in The Admiral Inn Mystery and Adventure series, is coming out tomorrow as ebook and paperback on Amazon. Catch up to me and I’ll keep you posted on the 12th book, the Finale…when I’m not paparazzi to the wildlife!
