I'm heading for the Printer's Row Lit Fest in Chicago on June 8th & 9th! It's two days, outdoors and takes up a city block. I'm hoping to sell a lot of books! :)

Just got some of my illustrations for my children's book, Princess Courtney and the Magic Suit. I think they are so cute. That new book should be ready by September! |

I am in agony! I love creative writing, but I don't like writing THESIS PAPERS FOR HOMEWORK! AARRGGG!!! Nothing like writing a 10 page boring paper on Communication. It's too bad I just can't be creative with it, I have to summarize three chapters from the book! Ugh!

I just got back from the Author's event at the Old Mulkey Meetinghouse in Tomkinsville, Ky. It was their first time holding the event and I thought they did a great job. It wasn't over flowing with book buyers, but I think all the authors who were there sold a few. Two of my books sold, High Seas: The Cabin Boy and High Seas: A Matter of Blood. Several asked if they were available as ebooks. So Hopefully, I'll see some sold that way. My mother's book Beauregard Blue sold some copies also! Way to go Mom!

I just got back from a book signing at the Pulaski Co library. There were about 10 local authors. No customers showed up. Did sell a couple of books to one of other authors though. Hopefully I'll have better luck in Tompkinsville, ky on Saturday. |

Well, I got my feed back from the pitchfest. But I got the standard line - Very exciting story, but not right for us at this time. Well, as I wrote in one of my poems, "Where God closes doors, somewhere He opens a window." I've just got to find that window! :) |

I just returned from Las Vegas and the pitchfest convention. There were 150 authors there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my book, High Seas: A Matter of Blood gets optioned for a movie. The two best pitches from the convention gets to do another pitch before Meridith Vera for her production company via Skype. But whether I'm chosen for that or not, I'm hoping one of the others is interested. |

I entered one of my poems in Mid-Continent University's writing competition in the poetry division. I took 3rd Place and one $100.00 for The Poet's Moon. I've listed it in my portfolio as Under the Poet's Moon. First real money I've won from my writing! |

My excitement and nervousness is building. I will be going to a Pitchfest in Las Vegas to pitch my book High Seas: A Matter of Blood to film. I have to reduce an over 200,000 word novel into a 2 minute, mind blowing pitch! Talk about pressure! |
