Winding up the great time I had promoting my book in the DC area, was a book signing at the Barnes and Noble in Tyson’s Corner. Family and friends came out so I was very grateful for their support. My 2 sister’s really came through for me when I needed them most. They each brought a couple of their good …

Just had a great couple of days promoting my book in our nation’s capital. Although the on-going debt crisis was the real big news, I did manage to get the word out about my book.

Finally, I bought a new device that I can transfer my photos to my blog. I bought a new little camera to take with me on my book journey. Most of the photos you see on my blog to date have been taken with my big nikon, which I love, but does not work well for travel. I  bought this …

Hi Everyone, My post today will deal with why I wrote this book and how I found a publisher. I think this particular post will be an encouragement for those of you who have either thought about writing a book, have an idea for a book, or  have a half finished manuscript lying around in a drawer some place.

Hello Friends, My first post of the New Year just has to be about what  I got for Christmas. On December 23rd, 2 of my daughters brought home a  7 week old chocolate lab puppy, complete with a big red bow tied around his neck! It was ok with me as we lost our 14 year old springer at the …
