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?

I keep hot, buttery-sweet cinnamon rolls on the cyber-table at all times—go ahead, grab two.
Have a great day and a successful year,

I believe I'm connecting with a vague familiarity with Little Rissington -- was it a radar site by any chance? I flew as passenger on a radar calibration sortie from RAE Farnboro one time in 1958 -- in a Varsity, of all monstrosities, and we kept bouncing back and forth across the Cotswolds as the tech types recorded data. Seems to me Little Rissington was mentioned.

Thanks for your kind words. I did try to use a slightly different approach to other fictional ripper stories, and as yousay, at least soemthing good came out of my time on top of the Cotswold Hills at Little Rissington. I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Thanks for getting in touch.
Best regards

Nice to meet another DDP author here.

Thanks for checking out my site. I'm actually a newbie and have just gotten it off the ground but am totally psyched about it! I've just started down the path of looking for authors to bring on the site. I'd like to review a book and then get real words from the author. I'm also always interested in decent link exchanges.
It's down after the article sub thing.

You're welcome and thanks for reading my blog. I haven't had the chance to explore the IWJ yet. I bookmarked and moved on, aside from finding the Alan Alda article. I'll let you know if find out. If you do first, you can let me know.
Thanks again.
Ann
Yes -- I should tinyurl that.
