August is just days away and presently my calendar is still full of private engagements, but I do promise to get back on the trail soon. For those of you who keep sending me those phone calls and emails, the answer is yes...the second book is going through its finishing touches right now.
Several events are being plannned and some dates should be finalized in the coming weeks. Also Author Carol Ann Culbert Johnson is featuring my book On a Rainy Day on her Author Spotlight located on her Web site from July 30 through October. Please check out her site www.carolannjohnson.net .
Stay tuned I'll be adding more information and dates as I have them.
Happy reading!

It's hard to believe it's the first week of June and On a Rainy Day is still keeping me as busy as it did last September. Wonderful isn't it?
Jennifer at B97.5 will be featuring On a Rainy Day for the month of July. She has several copies she'll be giving away, so go to www.b975.com and sign up to win one. If you are a lucky winner, contact me and we'll arrange a way for me to sign it for you.
I have a lot of other engagements on my calendar but none at this time that are open to the public (mostly clubs and meetings). I hope to get back on the signing trail as soon as time will allow me stuff my things in the car and go. I expect to be signing at the Barnes and Noble in Christianburg, Va. soon - check back for the dates and times. And there has been some requests for me to make some more local appearances, I'll have them posted here when the dates and times are finalized.
Meanwhile... for those of you who ask me every week - yes, the second book is almost ready to go!

Thursday night's launch was a huge success and I want to thank everyone who helped make it possible.
I want to express a heartfelt "Thank You" to everyone who came out to share the launch with me. There were so many faces I hadn't saw in a while and so many friends who's faces I have missed.
I hope you enjoy reading the book half as much as I enjoyed writing it. Keep in touch!
