Pesky Issue Solved
(or I sure hope it is!)
The title sounds alarming, but last month I discovered that the emails you sent me from my newsletter were actually going to my JUNK mail. Or, as a close friend told me, “I commented on your newsletter, but the email returned to me undeliverable.”
STOP THE PRESSES! Hubby got to work on the problem and figured out (or I sure hope he did) why I wasn’t hearing from my readers. And if you did comment on January or February’s newsletter, and I didn’t respond, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. (*** see below).
As you can see - technology is not my friend. But Mr. Ray got us back on track, which brings me to the FUN STUFF of this newsletter. It’s time to give away the three books I promised you in my February newsletter.
And the WINNERS are: Renee, Bruce, and Nancy.
Each of you wins a copy of Rekindled for Christmas Eve. WOOHOO! I will message you, and you can let me know if you want them as an e-book or a signed copy.
And speaking of Rekindled for Christmas Eve – I had an opportunity to talk about my latest release at another Cal-Am park in Mesa, Arizona. The coordinator contacted me because their writing group gets together at the end of the year to read stories they’ve penned throughout the season.
I accepted and asked him if I could bring another writer friend to the festivities. And today, I’m going to introduce you to her. I’ve included Jeri's bio below:
Jeri Corbran’s contribution to the literary world is her memoir, How I Finally Got to Keep the Couch (a memoir about a crazy woman’s crazier life). It is filled with lots of laughter and plenty of poignant moments about her three husbands, her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and an array of granddogs. Oh, and we can’t forget Jeri’s countless friends. One she met at Good Life Resort, and her new friend suggested she write a book. And she did. It’s available on Amazon.com. Ms. Corbran says, “This book was a labor of love. I am seventy-six years old and wanted to leave a piece of me with all the people I have loved. She is working on a fiction book, hoping to publish it in 2024.
 Jeri and I became friends four years ago, and I helped her on her road to publishdom. I highly recommend Jeri’s book, and I guarantee it will make you laugh out loud. She is quite a lady!!! The link to her book is: bit.ly/3INcLlt
WRITING NEWS:I finished teaching my class, and I had a blast. We covered everything I could think of concerning writing (story arc, point of view, active vs. passive writing, writing THE END first, and editing).
It thrilled me when my students asked if I’d be teaching again next season. If Cal-Am wants me back, I’ll be there with bells on. Guess this summer will be spent coming up with more lesson plans. Retirement? What’s that? HA!!!
March Magic (and all things touristy)We've been 'on the road again' (sort of) with a friend who came to visit us. The pictures are from sites around Phoenix and in the park we live in.  Talisin West - Frank Lloyd Wright home.
Spectacular!!! Elvis was in the building. We were 'all shook up.'  Medieval Times. An enjoyable show!
And great food you ate with your fingers.
Desert Botanical Garden - our friend
called these 'Arizona footstools.' Fun times had by all. Until next time...
***Oh, another thing - I have a favor to ask. Please email me to make sure the 'pesky issue is solved.' You can say a simple Hello. I'd appreciate it. There will be another giveaway if you do!!!
Hugs!!!
