This Has Nothing Whatsoever to Do With This Post, But It Made Me Laugh, So I Figured I’d Share.

Looking for a fun way to drive more traffic to your FB page or put your book in front of a few more readers, maybe get a couple more reviews? Veronica Williams is having a Scavenger Hunt, and it sounds like a lot of fun, plus a chance to win some cool prizes. Check out her Event Page below and see what you think. I don’t know about you guys, but when something falls into my lap out of the blue, I tend to think it’s probably something I should pursue. So, I’ll be joining in the hunt. Who knows, I might win a great prize! 

You should play along on the hunt and see what you might win. Have fun!

What Are You Going to Read?

Just for fun…anyone saving something great to read for a special time?

Yep, that’s what I asked…what are you going to read? What’s next in your To Be Read pile? Or by any chance, do you, like me, have a few extra special book treats you’ve been holding to one side to disappear into when you have some reading time that’s likely to be uninterrupted for a while? I’ve had several books that I’m DYING to read, but haven’t started on because I just didn’t want to keep getting pulled out of them by work, chores, or Life, in general. I kept telling myself to go ahead and start on them, because such a sweet stretch of uninterrupted time wasn’t likely to happen. But guess what? It IS going to happen. Sort of.

In late July–not really as far away as it sounds–I’m having foot surgery done on my left foot, involving several issues, to include putting in a steel pin, which…

There’s Still Time!

Purple Gallinule, Maybe the Most Beautiful Bird On the River

There’s still time to come along on a Meet the Author Eco Tour of the St. Johns River! Doing one more tomorrow, at 1:30 PM, departure from Highbanks Marina in DeBary. If you’re in the area, please join us. We’d love to show you one of Florida’s most beautiful wildlife habitats, and along the way, talk a little bit about Swamp Ghosts, the book I set in the middle of it. But I promise, the river will be the star, in all its glory.

Saturday’s tour was terrific! We saw several alligators, and all the usual suspects…turtles, little blue herons, white ibis, great blue herons, gallinules, at least five manatees, including a baby, and a family of stunningly beautiful barred owls. I think a good time was had by all, but alas, I have no pictures to show you. I was too busy enjoying myself, and I forgot all about them. I’ll try to do better on tomorrow’s tour. So…join us if you can! Meet the good Captain Jeanne Bell and her wildlife photographer husband, Doug Little, and see why their lifestyle inspired me to write Swamp Ghosts. You’ll be glad you came along!

Can You See Me Now?

Car’s all packed, and I’m ready to go. As soon as my cover designer, Nicki Forde, gets here, we’re off for an afternoon of fun, wildlife observation, and book talk! What could be better? Thank you to everyone who shared my posts about this event. We have a great group signed up, and I can’t wait to meet them all!

Hopefully, I’ll have some good pictures to share when I get back. Have a great Saturn’s Day, you guys. Oh, and if you’re interested, there are still some openings on Tuesday’s tour, 4/28, 1:30pm.  You can book here: St. Johns River Eco Tours.

One Week to Go!

2ef708bd39e7205e7563ce95790cb8be

I’m really getting excited about these river tours, now, and I’m going to throw myself on your mercy yet again to share this post everywhere you can. I want to be sure we fill the boat for Captain Jeanne and Doug. Thanks so much for any help you can give me. Next week at this time, we’ll be about halfway through our river tour, having no doubt spotted all sorts of wildlife and birds, and learned some of the river’s history from Captain Jeanne. Maybe Doug will have called up some barred owls to amuse us, or maybe we’ll have spotted something rare and unusual along the way. I will have done a short reading from Swamp Ghosts at the start of the tour, and probably spent a few minutes talking about the fictional town of Riverbend, Florida, or even explained a bit about the differences between albino and leucistic reptiles, which comes into play in my book.  (Contrary to what Ned Hickson would have you believe, I will NOT have wrestled any gators for you, albino or otherwise!) I will, however,  be open to some Question and Answer time, and we also have a surprise or two in store, as well, for some lucky passengers.

Leucistic Alligator (We won’t see any of these on the St. Johns, but we will probably talk about them.)!

You never know WHAT might be waiting for you! Even this is possible. Highly doubtful, to be sure, but…possible!

If you are in the area, please join us. If not, please let others know, so they might be able to come along for the ride. The river is bursting with life this time of year, and you just never know what you might see. To book a tour online, go here: St. John’s River Eco Tours. Even if you can’t go on the Meet the Author Tour next Saturday or Tuesday, you really should do this some time. It’s fabulous! And so relaxing!
