HOORAY! BETWIXT AND BETWEEN IS NOW IN PRINT!

Many of you have asked about getting a print copy of my book, Betwixt and Between.  I'm happy to announce Betwixt and Between is now in print.  The paperback edition is available online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble and is a fantasy adventure tale with a spiritual theme for kids from 9 to 14 years old.

The book will also be available at a "Meet and Greet the Author" session which is planned for the near future.  Will publish details on that soon.

HUGS ACROSS THE BORDER

            Returned from Montreal, Canada two days ago where I attended the MuseItUp Publishing Retreat.  Wow! What a wonderful experience.  So many good things were jam-packed into the three day Retreat, I didn't catch my breath until waiting in the plane for take-off to Home Sweet Home.

It was a pleasure to meet Lea and Litsa, two women who accomplished an amazing feat.  They created a publishing company that is, in reality, a family of authors from all over the world.   Kudos to each of them...their accolades are well-earned.
I was also happy to meet so many MuseItUp Authors and my editor, Nancy Bell, who gave me such good advice while I prepared my book for publication.  Since we’d only communicated previously through the internet, it was great to meet everyone face-to-face.
And last, but not at all least, it was a joy to get together with my cousin, author Heather Haven.  We hadn’t seen each other for about five years and though we kept in touch, it can’t compare to meeting in person.  We arrived a day early so we’d have a whole day to share, laugh together, and catch up with all one doesn’t bother to say on the phone or in an e-mail.  And it was such fun to sit side-by-side with her at a Meet and Greet Authors’ Book Sale.
When it was time to say “good-byes,” there were hugs for all our new friends across the border and throughout the United States.  I went home with many happy memories and a firm desire to return some day.
