Summertime
arrived, and with it came a host of pleasure. First on the
agenda was my latest book signing at The Gulfport Galleria of
Fine Arts on April 26th. It’s always a pleasure to meet and
greet the customers and entertain them with my stories. Next
came a terrific book signing at Barnes & Noble in Crossroads on
May 10, with my eighth Cozy Little Murder Mystery entitled,
Until Death Do Us Part. Our fabulous production of “The
Sound of Music” which KNS did originally in March on the 27, 28,
29 and 30 at the Biloxi Saenger Theater, was requested to
perform at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum. It was held on
May 17, to a audience of two thousand! Thirdly the Gulf Coast
Writer’s Association Banquet was held at the Royal China Buffet
on Highway 49, on May 31st. Yours truly, who is Secretary of
GCWA, won an Honorable Mention for a short story entitled,
The Last Bargain.
June burst into focus with four
terrific events! First The Gulfport Galleria of Fine Art held
its First Anniversary on June 13. Secondly, my book signing at
the Can Do Corner on the Naval Construction Battalion Center on
June 14, and I also held a book signing at the Biloxi Art
Association Festival at Edgewater Mall on June 20, 21, 22.
Coming up in August, Lucy and I
are traveling to the historic city of Vicksburg for the
Mississippi Writer’s Conference. Of course you realize during
all this time, I’m steadily holding down my job as receptionist
for Education and Psychology/Education, Research and Leadership
at The University of Southern Mississippi, Gulf Coast.
So keep your pencils sharpened,
your pens poised and the BBQ ready! Whoops! I almost forgot to
mention my second children’s book, A Christmas Carousel of
Children’s Stories. This will be out in late October. Just
in time for Christmas!
Remember that worthwhile saying:
Learn to read, BUT read to learn.
Remember the troops...
