Days of heat followed by days of near-freezing cold! Out of nowhere, a beautiful hailstorm covers the ground in white pebbles. The weather forecasts sunshine or cloud cover, but no rain in future days. Goddess Gardener, Cynthia Brian is an eternal optimist that imagines positive outcomes. If we want our gardens to survive and thrive, we need to design for the drought. She’ll help you get started to be ready for whatever transpires as the months warm.

Mystery writer, Gerald Everett Jones talks to Cynthia Brian about his third book in the award-winning Evan Wycliff Mystery series, Preacher Raises the Dead.
