Thankful For Lots!

​There were lots of things to celebrate this couple of weeks with one week being my birthday week and the next week was the week of Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for my family and friends. In addition, I am thankful to all the vendor coordinators, customers, family, other authors, professional writing organizations, and friends who support my author journey. It is truly a blessing to be a part of a great community.

​During this busy week of my birthday, my book, “Did You Come Home For Lunch?”  (first book I wrote) was   on display at the Author Solutions Booth at the Miami Book Fair at Miami-Dade College, November 22-24th.             I was excited for my book to be part of this event.   Click the cover to learn more about this book.

​Picklemas was a blast. Guess who came to visit! It was held in Edmond, OK at the New Hope Church of   Christ on Saturday, November 30th, 2024. This event was a fundraiser for someone in Edmond that had   medical issues and the event was raising funds for medical expenses. I really enjoy these events that had a    cause wrapped around the event.

  Well, I am off to get ready for my last event coming up in a couple of weeks called, “Christmas in the Park” in   Choctaw, Oklahoma.  It has been a long year of events but rewarding to say the least.
  
              I am working on some projects with some vendors and illustrators that are being lined up for 2025. I hope to    have at least three new books published in 2025.
                           
                I hope to enter more writing contests and currently I am patiently waiting for contest results to   come out at the end of December for the National VA Creative Arts Festival.
 
                I have a virtual author festival in February and the Books by the Bay Festival in March 2025, so I am looking   forward to attending both events. Both events are exciting to attend.
 
               Finally, in the marketing side of the house, Okie Book Podcast added me to a list of Oklahoma Children’s    Book Authors which I was excited about. This is a list to encourage readers to order books from these    authors for Christmas.
 
                Stay tuned for much, much more!
