Stormy weather

Stormy weather sounds like a song, but it's much more in Texas these days. We need the rain, but enough lightning and threat of tornadoes.

Has anyone read Broken Window by Jeffery Deaver? Comments??

I'm suffering from not having time to work on my WIP. The dismal weather lends creativity, but too much else is happening. It's difficult to spread your time b/n emails, promotion, social networks, etc. I have been trying to narrow the promotion down to one day a week, but here lately can't seem to manage it--it seems to cover my days. Social networks are another matter--hard to keep a balance b/n all of it. Any ideas appreciated.

Bye for now. Just wanted to pop in for a quick note.

Beautiful days of Spring

It's hard to keep 'you know what' in the chair these days when all the leaves and flowers are budding. It's my favorite time of the year and it's also when new ideas and projects come into focus.

At the moment, I am concentrating on joining The Final Twist Writers in the Texas Library Association's 2009 Conference, George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, Texas. We will be in Booth 1744, April 1-3, 2009. We have a multitude of wonderful authors who will be available for signing books in various genres. If you are in the area, come by and see us.

I am also working on an interview with Dames of Dialogue. Check out their blog when you get a chance at http://damesofdialogue.tripod.com/damesofdialogueblog.

My New Year's resolution was to be a better blogger, but life comes in and kicks up its heels. I want to discuss some of the great books I've read recently--The Two Marys, Broken Window (Jeffery Deaver), but it will have to wait until the Library Conference is over.

Good writing and good fun to all of you.
