Happy New Year. Wow, a lot of time has elapsed since I sat down to write a note on my blog. I want you all to know that I've not been sitting by idol. Besides working at my full time job Monday through Friday, I've been on the road just about every weekend promoting Déjà vu. My last signings for the year were in Richmond and Chesapeake, Virginia.
In October, I hosted my book release party for Déjà vu. It was a fabulous occasion from the wonderful speeches, the giveaways, the wonderful gifts I received, to the scrumptious cuisine. Even the main character, Angelica Barnes, had the nerve to show up telling the audience that the author, me, was responsible for all of her troubles. The highlight of the evening was the dance interpretation to Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal by my son and his significant other. Visualize Angelica doing her pole dance. Oops, someone hasn't read the story yet, but you'll understand when you do.
On the horizon, Nothing Stays the Same comes out in March. I'm excited as the zany characters from EX-Terminator reappear with a brand new storyline.
So, if you've got a story to tell, put it down, put it down on a piece of paper. The more you put down, the possibility of it becoming a full-fledged manuscript is real. Don't forget that the library is a good source for reference material for the stories you write whether they're fiction or non-fiction. And for the readers thank you for loving us enough to take those few dollars of your disposable income to read a good book. The authors thank you; I thank you.
