Interesting Moon Pictures from Yesterday Evening #ARWX

The moon was an interesting color yesterday evening. The cloudy skies made the moon even look more “intense”. This is what I saw from Hot Springs, Arkansas. Did anyone else see it?

I tried to get as clear of pictures as possible from my iPhone. The street lamp interfered with the scene a little bit. I wish Entergy would adapt the street lamp to DarkSky friendly lighting.

Non-Weather Post: “Where the Wings Rise” Cover Reveal

Today I’m helping reveal the cover and launch the preorder campaign for Ashlyn McKayla Ohm’s upcoming release, Where the Wings Rise!

Ashlyn is the author who I include the devotional posts at the end of each week’s “Weekly Wrap Up” weather reports. I read Ashyln’s first novel, When the Ice Melts, and I LOVED it! It left me on the edge of my seat, and I finished the book wanting to read more of the story. Coming soon, I can!

Where the Wings Rise, the second book in the Climbing Higher series, is a story of the scars that keep us earthbound, the choices that lead to healing, and most importantly, the faith that allows us to always fly free. Book blurb below…

After years of disastrous choices, Addisyn Miles has a second chance with the person she once betrayed—her older sister, Avery. Moving from Whistler, Canada, to Avery’s home in the Colorado Rockies seems like the perfect opportunity to not only rebuild her fragile relationship with her sister but also distance herself from the past she can’t forget. But adjusting to Avery’s life is harder than she expected, especially with her heart drawing her back to the chance at love that she left behind in Canada. When she begins helping her sister care for an injured hawk, Addisyn is forced to confront the fears that have left her just as wounded—or to allow her darkest enemy to sabotage her future.

As Avery Miles tends to the hawk’s broken wing, she prays for her sister to find healing as well. Her goal has always been to keep Addisyn safe, but her every attempt to hang onto her sister only drives them farther apart. As the common ground between the sisters continues to shrink, they’re suddenly blindsided by a looming threat from Addisyn’s past. Now, they must discover what it would truly take to find healing—before the broken edges of their stories separate them for good.

Where the Wings Rise is releasing Tuesday, August 29th, 2023! Preorder now at a special discount!
