Southern Fall Tour

Getting ready to hit the road for my annual Southern Fall Tour! Seven appearances plus dozens of stores to stop at to sign copies, so will be busy! Hope to keep everyone updated online as those ten days progress.

In other news, work on Book V is progressing rapidly. Intensive research into the male character of "Heather" has added new dimensions to the story and will provide some great conflict!

Keep reading and dreaming!

The Reason I Go

This past weekend was spent in Roanoke, Virginia. And I was reminded why I keep going, why I keep making appearances and traveling so far, when I met another delightful person!

She was excited to come to her first author event and meet one in person. With goals of publishing her own children's series, she had many questions and I was happy to speak in depth with her. Her enthusiasm further fueled my own!

Again, if I can inspire one person to pursue their dream, then my entire author venture has been a success! Thanks Julie!

Another Special Fan

This week's special fan is Conner, from Virginia. She's very sweet and good writer as well - maybe she'll write her own books one day!

Thanks, Conner!

Updates

First month of the contest is underway and I've had many, many entries. Good luck to everyone! If I were rich, you would all win.

Events are STILL being added to the calendar! Another Barnes & Noble appearance and a radio program in Atlanta, so check it out.

The Florida Gators have FINALLY set their schedule for September 23rd - an evening game on ESPN - so I have a time for that signing now. I was beginning to wonder if there were trying to keep it a secret from everyone! While in Gainesville, I will also be purchasing University of Florida items for my book gift basket to be given away in December on TeensReadToo.com.

And the Crystal Coast Book Festival is next month! Looking forward to the event and going into the schools to speak.
