WORK PROGRESSES

I am working on my latest book, hoping to have it available before Christmas. It is set on a small island off the Newfoundland coast, and is about a young boy who faces some daunting struggles when he loses his father. His life takes a downward turn, but he is eventually pulled back with the help of family, friends, and a new person in his life, a Mountie.

The idea came from a dear friend who spent some time on Ramea island several years ago with her husband. They thought it would be a wonderful spot for a book to be set, and I agree. Fortunately with the internet these days, I can 'visit' the island without having to go there, although I would love to if time and finances permitted.

This is the working cover and title I have developed, and they are both subject to change before the book is finally published. But be on the lookout for it in the coming months!

APRIL 2018 AUTHOR FAIR

Eighteen authors from all around our area here in Springfield, Ohio participated in the Local Author's Fair last Saturday. The morning began with a talk from Vick Mikunas, a radio personality who has interviewed numerous authors throughout his career. His talk was fun and enlightening.

It never ceases to amaze me how many talented authors we have in just our area alone. It is always interesting to meet the new ones and the familiar ones from previous events. If you have never attended one of these events, make it a priority to go at your next convenience. The authors have their books for sale, usually at a discount, and you can pick up information on how they got started, and how they got published, just to mention a few things.

Good news! Especially if you live in the Springfield area! There will be another author event in August of this year! I will post more info as the time draws nearer. This one should be even bigger and better.

Below I will post photos of the authors who attended this latest fair. On my Facebook page I posted contact info and names on each individual photo. Enjoy!

The annual Local Author Fair held at the Clark County Public Library in Springfield, Ohio is to be held on Saturday, April 28, 2018 from 12-2 p.m.

It is a gathering of authors from only Clark County this year. There should be plenty of information to gather, authors to meet, books to buy and have signed and fun for all.

I will post some photos of the event as soon as I can. Stay tuned!
