2018 is coming to a close

Good Day Happy Readers.

I know it's been a long while since I posted anything.

In truth, I haven't been doing any writing. I'm still working on home projects, crochet projects, and dog training/vet visits. I've also been doing a lot of reading, hoping to hone up my skills.

One other thing that has occupied a lot of time has been trying to help my mother understand and navigate her aunt's estate and what will happen. She is not the executor, but the law firm that is is suspicious. What happened to her and her siblings and her aunt's estate is criminal IMO. I will be posting more details about this on my other blog: MOO (My Opinion Only). Let's just say that a will isn't any good in some cases.

Having said all this, I am hopeful that I can get back to several stories that have been gathering cyber dust, in the coming year.

Until the next time, sit back, put your feet up, and get lost in one of my book™

After 2018 ArtFest

Well, here it is again that I've discovered how long it's been since I last wrote here.

Seems I've been super busy since retirement; so many things that need to be done and so little time. Or maybe I'm not doing so well with managing my time. My writing as taken a back seat to life.

I have been doing some reading and making afghans for family, and hats for cancer patients. And jotting down story ideas when they hit.

I recently attended the annual ArtFest in LaPlata, Maryland. It was a good day, but overcast and hot enough to get sun burn on my shoulders. I'm never sure how that happens as I spent most of my time under the canopy; except for trips to the restroom or food/drink vendor.

Here's a shot of my table and tent taken by another writer:


I'm happy to report that I had a repeat customer from last year. Gwen bought the first book in the Janie's Got series and was looking for the second one. I offered her a deal if she wanted to buy all three (Janie's Got is a four-book series), which she was happy to accept. 

I sold one Hooked to a member of our writing club.

One thing I'm not too happy about is that my Bugs on the Windshield isn't selling well. I was really excited by the idea when I wrote it; thought it was a unique (throw-back) concept of how it came about.

They ended the event a bit early so vendors could leave before the storm hit, which was good because the storm was a doozy.

That's all for now. Until the next time, Kick back, put your feet up, and get lost in one of my books!
