If any of you are near Arlington Heights, please stop by and say hi. I'll be autographing Two Wrongs and Girl of My Dreams Saturday and Sunday from 10-6 at Recreation Park in the Frontier Days Marketplace in Booth 124 at Frontier Days.
I'm also handing out invitations for my book launch party for Killer Career for
August 16, 1-4pm. at the Arlington Heights Historical Museum, 110 W. Fremont,
Arlington Heights, IL. (You don't need an official invitation to come. It's
just good for a reminder to stick on your refrigerator or somewhere)
Other signing at the booth are romantic suspense author, Margot Justes, YA author, June Sproat and contemporary Western romance author, Debra St. John.
As most of you already know, Two Wrongs is a romantic suspense, Girl of My Dreams is a romantic comedy and the upcoming release, Killer Career is a romantic suspense.
Hope to see some of you over there.

Fortunately, we were set free from work today at 3:00. Now I can catch up on a few things before heading over to the Festival tonight to see a rock band called ARRA at the Frontier Stage.
We have some DVDs at home from the library. We may just be able to watch one or two before we go, since the band doesn't start until 9:15. Or, we may want to get pver there a bit early and eat desert, though we shouldn't.
Last night I had a hamburger at home, but at the Festival I could't resist a DQ Reese Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard. They've got pies, cheese cake, ice cream, brownies, and Blizzards. I wish I could eat them all,but I'm being bad enough! I have no willpower when it comes to good food.
What about you? Do you cave in and eat special treats at special events?
See why I'm catching my breath at

How do you sell books? I know I've asked this question before in various forms, but now that I'm coming up to the date of Killer Career's release on August 15, I'm wondering what's the most effective approach.
Tell me, please. What do you do to sell books?

It's good to see you, too. Thanks for the add.
Please keep those dynamite books of yours coming. I need my Shawna fix!
Happy Holidays back to you. Good to see you here.

Finally home from Colorado - I definitely didn't want to leave! Amazing how clean and fresh everything seemed out there. Now I can't wait to go back.
Anyway, I put a small slideshow on my page, in case you wanted to check it out. Mostly landscapes, but I think you'll agree as to why I posted them.
Hope you're doing well. I've been writing a wee bit - almost 1K for the week which, for me, is quite good. LOL
*hugs*

Thanks so much for your encouragement - it really means the world to me! And cross your fingers that I finally reach "The End" on both of these!
We're getting ready to leave for Colorado on Saturday for a quick family vacation. I'll be glad to get away from the city for a while! LOL I'm vacillating between bringing the laptop, in order to work a bit, and leaving it at home, in order to "see" the stories in a different light.
We'll see what happens, won't we? LOL
*hugs*

I took your advice and started over on that story. Needless to say, it's very, very slow going. Also went back to a story I tucked away a few months ago. My goal is to have it finished and edited by the end of October. Gosh, I'm such a slower writer.
How are you doing? And how's the writing coming along?
*hugs*

Thanks for adding me to your Book Place page :)
