I’m thrilled to announce my new book, Blondie in the Water: True Tales from a Water-Loving Mom, was released on November 20th! And yes, that is me on the cover. My photographer buddy Jody Smyers, had this great concept for my book. I'm standing in the middle of his brother-in-law's cotton field, pretty much the only nature we have around these parts in Dirtville. I'm looking in vain for a big body of water. I used to live in Boston, Virginia Beach, Orlando, and other locations near water. Now I'm landlocked and missing watery destinations.

Best-Selling Author KJ Waters shares her love of water and the beauty of nature in a short story collection that will make you yearn for the great outdoors.

In this heartwarming and often humorous collection of true short stories, KJ Waters takes you on a journey through the adventures and mishaps that come with family life—and a deep love for all things water.

When KJ moved to the landlocked town of "Dirtville" seventeen years ago, she found herself miles away from the ocean, rivers, and lakes that had always been her sanctuary. To cope with the sudden absence of water in her life, she created a blog—*Blondie in the Water*—a space where she could share her fond memories of the sea and promote her debut novel, Stealing Time.

In these pages, KJ invites you to dive into her world of spontaneous family escapades to national parks, tropical escapes to Bermuda, and all the moments in between where water was the backdrop of her greatest joys and funniest family mishaps. From the soothing embrace of the ocean to the refreshing splash of a pool, her stories capture the simple yet profound way water shapes her world.

With warmth, wit, and a touch of nostalgia, Blondie in the Water is a celebration of family, the power of water, and the emotional therapy of reconnecting with nature. Whether you’re reminiscing about your own favorite water spots or discovering the joy of KJ’s adventurous spirit, these true stories will leave you laughing, reflecting, and yearning for the next great adventure by the water.
