Laugh A Lot!

February 2025

The best medicine for stressful days is in fact laughing at yourself, laughing at a show you watched on television, or even laughing in general. This past week I had the opportunity to go to Bricktown Comedy Club in which I never laughed so hard. It is crucial as an author to have the down time to re-energize your thoughts and re-charge your batteries.

I also went to read for Storytime at Knights Nook Bookstore in Yukon, Oklahoma. This was a fun time of reading to several children my books, “It Happens” and “Eli’s Shenanigans. I got right down on the floor at the children’s level so that I could read to them. Each child was sitting on a pillow. I passed out stickers to the children and greeted all of them that attended. 

My final joy this week was the delivery of my story in “Visions” which is number 3 of 3 anthologies that my stories are located in. The other two anthologies are “The Quire,” and "Flights of Fantasy- Bedtime Stories."

There is something about getting a book in the mail that has your name in it or on it. I am overjoyed to be part of this journey thanks to Diana Kathryn Penn (www.pagespromotions.com). She is an amazing author, mentor, and teacher of the art of Indie Publishing. She has wonderful resources on marketing and other topics that help you become a better writer and successful Indie published author.

​My next adventure this week is to volunteer at a local elementary school on the Book Bus for Oklahoma City Public Schools and be a guest speaker for the Oklahoma City Christian Writers. I am looking forward to these great opportunities.
