Family Time

There is nothing better than Joe's family from Logan, Utah down for flank steak lunch and better than sex cake on the patio. How about this 'selfie'?? !!

REUNITED

What a grand week this has turned out to be.
Joe and I attended a local author showcase at THE KINGS ENGLISH and heard new authors tell of their lives in the world of publication; one a cookbook, two novels, and a health book. Each had their own style of presentation. Some mostly read from their works, others told how their work evolved but all were so pleased to be published. I can hardly wait my turn to hold my book in my hand and share it.
It has been such joy to reunite myself with writers throughout the Salt Lake Valley by joining once again with the League of Utah Writers and the Utah State Poetry Society. The oneness of spirit among these writers just draws me in like a magnet and continues to feed my need to write.

RARE OPPORTUNITY

Today I traveled to a well known local book store, The Kings English, to hear a local author during her book signing, but alas, it is next week. The opportunity was gifted to me to present myself as a new local author with their Author Showcase coordinator. He asked who my publisher is, and I proudly told him Safkhet Publishing. He quickly looked them up on line, he was not familiar with them. He was immediately impressed. I asked him what steps I needed to take to be invited to be on one of their Local Author Showcase evenings. I needed an ISBN number and a date of release, both of which I have. He set me up for their Showcase on October 14, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. What an honor.

Steps into the publishing world

Another giant step today with SATIN MURDER; received my ISBN number and it ends with a 5, my endearment number for life. All the stars at Safkhet Suspense are lining up perfect for release September 2014. You too, can unlock your dream whatever it is.

CHANGE IS GOOD

After a week of emails floating over the Atlantic Ocean, my novel being published by Safkhet Publishing has found its true home. It is now in their mystery division with the title, SATIN MURDER. Wonderful, wonderful. Thanks Kim and staff! Onward with the next step toward publication this coming summer.

Exciting progress

The thrill of seeing the cover and a synopsis of my novel connected to Face Book and Twitter kept me awake for hours last night. Thanks Safkhet Publishing for giving me the key to unlock my dream of becoming a published novelist.

Meaningful Activities

What joy to drive into some warmth in St. George to celebrate our 22nd anniversary. I could have left the long sleeves in Salt Lake, but feared the results. Mother Nature was full of nice surprises.

Followed up this nice weekend of golf and visits with dear friends by attending grand-daughter Ashlin's motor cross race in Farmington the following weekend.  She was riding high. Way to go girl, follow your dream.

Long car rides give my writing mind time to work out new plots with twists and turns. Glad it's Monday and back to the novel writing.
