This #signedbooksunday is a special one...because I got an acknowledgement in this book (under my legal name, Kristi Dosh)!

@waxwrites has been one of my favorite authors for years, so I was thrilled to meet her in person when she had a signing here on Amelia Island two years ago. We got the chance to chat, and she mentioned she might be able to use my help on a sports agent character in the book she was writing. Of course, I jumped at the chance!

It was so much fun to get to use some of my experience as a sports business reporter to help one of my all-time favorite authors. ♥️

Thank you, Wendy, for letting me play some small role in this new book. I'll never forget it!

For my fellow readers, who's an author you would love to meet??

This #TravelTuesday, I'm just so thankful to be back on a fairly normal travel schedule! ✈️

I just returned from a week in Utah, and I have at least one trip a month for the rest of the year. 🎉 As a travel writer, and someone who teaches travel writers, the past year has been LONG! I've missed hotels, wine and movies on long flights, living out of a suitcase and laying my eyes on new landscapes.

Right now, I'm looking forward to my fall trips. My travel writing friend @noreenwriter and I are hosting three travel writing retreats this fall in Breckenridge, Palm Springs and Flagstaff...and we're close to adding a fourth!

Plus, I'll finally get back on college campuses this fall for my speaking gigs as a sports business expert. I've spent the past decade spending in athletic departments, and I've really missed it!

Do you have any travel coming up later this year you're excited for? Where are you heading?

Spending the last day of this long weekend reading

Spending the last day of this long weekend reading on the beach! Georgia the #GSD and I are currently finishing Wedding in the Pines by @casscarterbooks.

If you haven't read Love on Location yet, start there and then grab this one. Such a cute setting and great characters. 🌲 I just want to run off to Cabins in the Pines right now to just read and write in a cute little cabin in the woods overlooking the lake. Sounds perfect!

If you live Hallmark movies, check out these great books from @hallmarkpublish! They're so cute!

Have you been reading anything this weekend?

I've been in Utah the past week with my dad and two aunts visiting my cousin and his family. Today was my last full day in Utah, and it was indeed full!

Today, we did both Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. I don't know what to say except they were both stunning!!

Utah has never been high on my travel list...which I now know was a big mistake. We started the week in Park City getting snowed on and ended in Moab baking in the desert heat. In between, we took day trips to Sundance, Bear Lake and Jackson Hole. When I say we've gone hard this week...I mean it!

Our motto all week was: I didn't come this far to only come this far.

We stayed up late, woke up early, drove an obscene amount and took a million pictures.

How do you like to travel? Stay in one place and do it all or move around from place to place to see as many different things as you can?

I'm usually the former, but this week I did the latter...and I'm exhausted! 🤣 But we had the best time!!!

I've missed a few @marykayandrews along the way, so I went back to The High Tide Club.

This one appealed to me because Andrews has said the fictional Talisa Island is based on Sapelo Island in Georgia. I live just a handful of barrier islands south of there on Amelia Island and have spent my whole life visiting FL, GA and SC's barrier islands. 🌴

The story focuses on 99-year-old heiress Josephine Bettendorf Warrick, who wants to make amends as she plans for the disposition of her estate while also trying to save her island from the state's development plan. She hires young lawyer Brooke to assist in finding her three former best friends, or their heirs, so she can leave them her historic home and a huge portion of the island.

Of course, there's more to the story than initially meets the eye for Brooke. There are many secrets buried on Talisa...some literally.

How did Josephine and her friends (who called themselves the High Tide Club) become estranged? And why was Josephine so insistent Brooke was the only attorney for the job?

Definitely enjoyed this one! Great beach read for this summer if you haven't read it.

I knew when I read this I had to do a photo with a swimsuit scattered on the beach as a nod to The High Tide Club's ritual of skinny-dipping on Mermaid Beach on the island. 👙

Have you read this one? Ever visited any of the barrier islands in GA?
