I’m home again. The photo is of me at the writer’s retreat a couple of weeks ago. The ladies made me a very personalized cowgirl/writer hat.

We drove down to Kansas to see family – do a book signing in Anthony, KS (which went phenomenally well and was so much fun – Thanks again HIGHER GROUNDS AND LEATHER BOUND Bookstore) and see the accountant. On the side, Judy Miller and I got together because we’re going to write another series – Yippppppeeeee!

Speaking of Judy – if you’re in the Iowa area – particularly Pella or Des Moines – Judy will be signing books this weekend. Here are the particulars.

This week – well, what’s left of it – I’ll be getting down to business fleshing out a couple of story outlines and getting over what I call seasonal allergies complicated by my personal health disposition. Which basically means – I’m allergic to Kansas and humidity, which triggered head congestion, which went into my lungs and triggered the asthma, which gave me a horrid cough, which in turn has left me with laryngitis forcing me to cancel a radio interview scheduled for tomorrow. Oh well. At least I can type.
