Believe it or not, I have had electricians, painters, and contractors to deal with this week, just when I thought I was nearly done with Irma, once and for all. Eeep. Therefore, I’m not really back to normal with my blogging and writing routine. However, I do have a lot of fun events scheduled every month through October.

I’m looking forward to every one of them, Darlene. Nothing more fun than meeting readers and lovers of wildlife for a fun look at some of the creatures we share this part of the world with. And the afternoon teas are just a yummy good time!! Earl Grey, scones, and people who love books–heaven! 😀

Wow – busy lady! I, on the other hand, am busy finishing the third Riverbend novel and looking forward to the Wake-Robin Ridge series next. What a prolific person you are, Marcia.

Those are only the public events I have going on this spring. I have private events scheduled between each of them, and I’m booked into October. The sweet thing is, once you do a few public events, people from the audience get in touch later to see if you’ll come visit their group, too. Book clubs, local chapters of AARP and the DAR, and things like that. And it’s SO MUCH FUN!
Lovely to know you are learning all about Hunter, Forrest, and Jackson. I do think that the 4th book in this series will focus on a brand new character or two, though there will be familiar faces along the way. But overall, I’ve taken those Painter boys about as far as I can. They’ll still pop up from time to time, like Gunn and Maggie do, but it’s time to meet a few other citizens of Riverbend, too. For now, I hope you are enjoying them, and I’ll be interested to see what you think of the strange happenings up on Wake-Robin Ridge. I’m working on Book 4 of that series, then I’ll do a second Riverbend spinoff novella as part of the Emissary series, and then back to my new ideas for Riverbend.
Not sure how prolific that makes me, but I do know I’m writing like a thing possessed, here! 😀 At my age, I don’t know how many more writing years I have in front of me, so I want to get as many of my stories down as possible! Wasting time is not a good idea! 😀
Thanks for stopping by today, and hope you have a great weekend! ❤

Ha! And those are just the ones open to the public. 😀 I do believe in building a local readership, if for no other reason than these folks make me feel good about being a writer, and they inspire me to keep on going. AND . . . these events are just plain fun! 😀 ❤

I agree on all counts. Getting us and our work out there can be very validating. I hope to get on that bandwagon eventually! 🙂 ❤

When you see all those friendly faces out there, you won’t be nervous. No one makes them come. They don’t get any points or a higher grade for attending. They’re there because they enjoy what you do, and they want to get to know you better. You’ll rock it! 🙂 And better still, YOU’LL be enriched by it! 😀 ❤

I do, Robbie! And that’s just the public stuff. I’m taking June off to go stay with my daughter for the birth of my new grandbaby, but I’ll post the schedule for Aug through Dec when I return. It’s all so much fun, I can’t recommend it enough. 😀
