On Writing
March 2010

Now that Exposing Eurabia is out, I am taking a breather before tackling the third book in the trilogy. Having a sequel is a bit different than I expected because my readers want to know what happened to characters from Full Circle 911 that didn't make it into the second book. They also have more input as to what should...and shouldn't...happen to the characters in the story. All of this is not only fun to talk about, but it is also helpful to me. So...when will I be writing again? Hopefully this spring and summer!

Other writing related feedback and questions

1. Yes I predicted a terroist attack on Christmas Day in the exposing Eurabia book. No, I din't have a premonition or a feeling...I just sort of figured it was a good day for our enemies to attack us. Apparantly it was.

2. I will never tell anyone who the ninth Eurabian is. You had to read Exposing Eurabia to understand what this means and you'll have to read the third book to find out who this is.

3. No, I never get a writers block. I have more ideas than time to write them down.

4. Yes I do book club visits and yes I do have a Full Cirlce 911 Jeopardy game.

5. Karl does not know what will happen in the next book...so don't bother asking him.

On The Home Front
March 2010

Everything at home isnormal...well at least as normal as it gets for me! here's a quick update.

- Chester is still undergoing tests to figure ou twhat happened with his seizure and what we should do about it. So far we did tests on him, his blood, poops and urine. More blood tests are scheduled. Good grief! Thank goodness he has great doctors. Yeah...Capeway Vetinary Hospital in Fairhaven.

- I've joined a cross stitching club and I love it. We meet weekly in Lakeville. Thanks girls for inviting me to join you.

- Thursday night is Bingo night! Wish me, Linda, George, Mary and John luck. We need it. But...I did win $300.00 last month so I'm not complaining.

- The family is fine...as far as we know anyways!

- Karl is not a happy banker in this economic environment. I am a very happened retired banker. Hmmm - it doesn't seem fait does it?

- And to my fellow Acushnet Ya-ya's...I love you guys! I'll see you on game night and at the flea market!

On The World
March 2010

What should I say about the world? Well, like everyone else I have my opinions so I might as well give you a peak inside my head.

1. I'm grateful the wars in the Middle East are going better. I hope there is a way for us to win them and leave Iraq and Afghanistan better places than they were when we got there.

2. I think Congress is in big trouble this fall! Watching the elections will be more interesting than the new fall TV show lineup!

3. Are bookstores a thing of the past? Will they join the league of drive-iin theaters and pay phones? Hmmm...you have to wonder. I have way more people ask me if they can get my books on-line and on Kindle than if my books are in stores.

4. Will Toyota recover from all the recall problems? My bet is yes...but it'll be a long road to recovery.

On The Rest
March 2010

* I am back "on the road" for this year which means that I'm working a lot of weekends. See my schedule for details.

* I'm going to start a blog soon and I want everyone to read it! It will feature what it is like to be an author in today's world.

* IMy computer recently got a pop-up type virus. My grandson had to backdate the computer to get rid of it. As logical as this is, I didn't think of doing it. Thank goodness our kids and grandkids are more technilogically savy than we are!
