New Sale

I am incredibly excited. I just signed a new contract for my high fantasty romance TT No Neutral Ground with New Concepts Publishing. http://www.newconceptspublishing.com/ For those of you who have known me for a bit, this is Belle's story. This "version" stemmed from the very first book I ever wrote. I orginally wrote Belle's mother's story, but a very wise man, Mr. Anthony (Tony) Lanza, delicately told me I had written the back story for the book I should write. After taking it on the chin, I realized he was right. So - for this to sell, I am so psyched!!!

What's Happening Hot Stuff

http://www.muckysmorsels.com/ I just got the on dit that MM will open for business this fall - which is great news for those of us with sweet tooths and who have chanced to taste the cooking of Ms. H!

Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend. We are getting some much needed moisture. Aka Rain for those of you who have not seen in (like us) in a while.

Update

The Relay For Life was a wonderful experience. A while back, back in the college days, I had organized our team and had walked, but I hadn't done it in a while. It was so nice to see all of the folks that came out. I live in a rural community, so there were ranchers who had gotten up extra early to come walk before feeding, or who came in after. One of our team members, her family was havign a branding right after. The branding is an all day event up here. Lots of people. Lots of noise. Aka no sleep, but Cindy came and she and her grandson walked two hours. They were so pleasant and up. I really enjoyed seeing that. The bonding. The interaction. It is that faith, hope, and sense of community that will help beat cancer!

Relay For Life

Tomorrow night, I will be joining my sister and the folks from her work for Relay For Life. This event, for those of you who don't know, was designed to celebrate those who are surviving cancer and to raise money for cancer research. Dr. Gordy Klatt started this truly fantastic fundraising event. He believed cancer research needed additional funding, so he went to raising money by running marathons.

Resolution

I am quite happy to report - Yesterday afternoon I spoke with the corporate manager about "the bug problem". He was very attentive and really seemed to listen to my comments and complaints. The situation could have been resolved a bit better if they would have agreed to screen doors for the hotel, but I was told there are zoning issues. However, he would look into a more efficent means of keeping the bugs from the hotel!

Happy resolution.
