It's been awhile since my last post. And like my title says, it was life that took me away from writing. Just three days after my birthday, we lost our 8-year old Pomeranian, Felix,  due to an incompetent veterinarian. I've posted this already so I won't go into details here. But it was devastating to us and I couldn't do much but cry for weeks and had no motivation to do anything that was the least bit productive. 

Although I told my husband, 'no more dogs', in the 38 out of 40 years that he and I have been together, we have had at least one dog. So we started looking, and looking, and found that there are more scammers out there than legitimate shelters for dogs that desperately need homes. All they care about is the money and are looking for outrageous amounts of $$$$ for mixed breeds with no guarantee for anything. Then a friend of mine told me about a friend of hers who found a dog at a shelter 40 minutes from where we live. We stopped in for a visit because we saw a couple of their website that looked adorable. They, of course, were already adopted but we filled out paper work and they told us to check the dogs that were 'coming soon' on their website. We found a few puppies that were coming in and took the first available meeting. After less than an hour, we had picked out two and a short 4 days later, we picked up our new pups. We've had then almost a month now and Jim and I are learning, again, about the commitment to bringing not just one but two puppies into our home. We expected to have a long and happy life with our two new bundles of joy! Also, we were told the mom is Chihuahua and we think the dad may have been a Jack Russell Terrier.  

And now I have a new story to tell!

The Book-Signing event at the Mall of New Hampshire was a successful event and one that I would love to see repeated. Although I did start to suffer a little from sensory over-load (so many people!!!) having lived in a rural area for twenty-five years now, I know I need to go where the people are if I plan on getting my books into more reader's hands. And this is definitely one way to do it. 

And all of the other authors I spoke to are also hoping this event is repeated, preferably around the holidays. 

Other good news: 8 of my book titles are now in the Manchester Craft Market store at the Mall of New Hampshire! 

It was a good day!!!!

I am thrilled that I finally have my two latest books available for sale! They have been a long time coming.

"Useful Pieces" is a novel about a young couple who move into a cottage overshadowed by a mansion, occupied by an elderly couple. Everything is fine, for awhile, but then the couple's lives begin to change and one episode after another creates loss, destroy what each worked so hard to build. But who is doing this? And why? A mystery that each of them can't seem to figure out although they do have their suspicions. A page turner that all will enjoy.

The other book, "Ten Storied Buildings" is a collection, similar to "Seven Storied Houses" that features people working at their various jobs in libraries, restaurants, supermarkets and other venues and the people they meet who change their lives. Like most of my stories, and as my tagline states it, "Writing Gets Real". Some of the stories will make you laugh, others will bring tears to your eyes. But in the end, they are all about life, your life and mine. 

Hopefully all who read my latest books will love them as much as they've loved and enjoyed my other books.

Not in time for Christmas (due partly to the government shutdown which prevented me from getting a Library of Congress number in a timely manner) but books are good any time of the year. Doesn't have to be a special occasion, like Christmas or a birthday. And if you are anything like me, you want at least three or four books ready for your reading pleasure as soon as you finish the book you are currently reading. 

With that said, copies of "Useful Pieces" are ready for shipment right now. "Ten Storied Buildings", my 10th book, was waiting for that Library of Congress number so that put the printed copies a little behind. But they have been ordered and it is a matter of just a week or so before those will be in hand, also. Order now or in a week, both are ready for you and I'm looking forward to your comments and reviews. As always, thank you for your support!
