Book Club Event for Tears and Tequila

Big, huge thank you and love to Diane Golden for hosting a scintillating TEARS AND TEQUILA brunch/book club in her home high above the Pacific Ocean. Jo-Ann Lautman, Marion Rosenberg and I were wined, dined and delighted to talk with these brilliant women – a psychologist, a psychiatrist and two lawyers. Phew. I was nervous beforehand. But we left, warmed and engaged by their welcoming hearts and insightful comments. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the best part of writing a book!!!

A Message to a Writer

Oh how I love this! A great image and message for a writer (like me) with a recently published book. I’m sure this applies to many others of us, too, writers or not. Let’s tell ourselves to keep up the good work, all of us. The size of our audience doesn’t matter. Look at the rapt expression on that kitty’s face….

Thank you Ladies- You carved out the time to tell us about the worlds within you, wrote your hearts out, shared your stories, braved the rain, ate (and ate), did yoga, took walks, talked (and talked) and laughed.
