So no matter what your style vibe is, it's truly been the perfect weather for shorts.
We're probably apt to flash a little less leg in our choices.
Mostly because after a year of going nowhere and working inside, we not only don't have any tan lines - we don't have any tans at all.
Caro and Mel, the heroines in our Pampered Pets mystery series would undoubtedly be much more daring And, after all, they do live in Laguna Beach.So, we're thinking they'd have great stylish choices in shorts.
And, if so, what's your favorite style?
And by the way, since we're talking short, summer is also the perfect time for short reads. We've been reading some of the award nominated shorts stories. Something quick for the deck or the beach or even for a road trip. So, we're loving great novellas and short stories! And we've also just released our very first short - PROJECT DOGWAY.
Here's a little bit about it.
Canines are on the “catwalk” at this Laguna Beach dog fashion show—a heartworm awareness fundraiser—where former Texas beauty queen and currently-not-speaking-to-each-other cousins, Caro and Mel, are in attendance. When award-winning show beagle, Shadow’s, owner drops dead from eating a deadly scallop ceviche, the cousins find themselves embroiled in much more than a fashion “faux paw.”
Project Dogway is available on all ebook platforms:
Watch for our next short, coming soon! Any guesses on what Caro and Met will be up to next?

Cute post! Thinking of the song lyrics, "Who wears short shorts?" It's been a while since I've worn short shorts, but my character wears them all the time!
ReplyDeleteSaralyn, thanks! That's funny. That song popped into my head while I was searching for photos to include.
DeleteHa! Yes, our characters can get away with it. Do Capris count? :) Cute post, Sparkle Abbey.
ReplyDeleteDonnell, I think capris count. I kept trying to come up with the term capris and all I could think of was peddle-pushers which I think really dates me.
DeleteMy protagonist is usually on assignment in Spanish-speaking countries and does not get a chance to wear shorts. But she goes swimming - does that count?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the post!
Kathryn, thank-you. I think swimming definitely counts!
