Just one more day until we head out on our road trip to the Space Coast Book Lovers Event in Cape Canaveral, Florida. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone at the conference and spending time with old friends and making new ones! This is a fun three day conference and if you’re in the area, the book signing on Saturday is open to the general public. The book signing is from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Convention Center.

I’m doing a workshop on Point of View for Savvy Authors from June 12 to June 18. It’s an online course and the cost is only $25 ($20 if you register by June 5!) I think that Point of View is probably one of the hardest things to understand and to do right. You may be ready to start a book or already writing one and something tells you the POV just isn’t working. Or you may be watching your characters play a game of tennis, sending the ball hopping back and forth from one character’s head to the other, causing confusion. Think you finally got it right? I’ll share some tips on how to check your POV to make sure it’s working effectively to tell your story in the best way! You can register at https://bit.ly/SavvyAuthorsMasterPOV.

I never thought about it until one of my daughter’s friends said, “You’re mom really likes hamburgers.” It occurred to me then that I ate a lot of hamburgers and honestly, hamburgers have to be my absolute favorite food. I love them medium with cheddar or blue cheese and caramelized onions. Nom nom. I probably will have a burger today when I get together with some friends later today. How about you? Are you a burger girl?

Good morning! Starting the day with some conference prep! I’ve got to get together items for my giveaways at the upcoming Book Lovers Con and I’ve been pondering what to wear. It’s a fun and casual conference so luckily it’s easier than when I used to have to get ready for one of my business conferences. But there are some costume parties and I’m so not a costume girl, really. Well, except for when I was Scully from The X-Files for one Halloween Hop at my daughter’s elementary school. I’ll have to give those costumes some thought. Then it’s off to the garden to hopefully finish the last of the planting. Yeah! Can’t wait to see it all in full bloom and I’ll share some photos of it soon!

I was hoping to be in the garden but we’re having a rainy day today! A good thing since it’ll help all the new plantings that I did in my little yard and the new flower and vegetable beds we put in at my daughter’s house. But what can I do now? LOL! Sharing some tips on what to do on a rainy Saturday! I hope you have a good day and if you need something to read, don’t forget I have a number of free reads available on Kindle Unlimited at https://amzn.to/41umtbo.

I’m excited to be taking part in a multi-author book signing on Friday, May 19th from 9 am to 2 pm at the Plaza Mini Mall in Toms River, NJ. The Mini Mall is a blast to the past to the days of intimate local stores in a convenient setting and I believe there is also a flea market happening on Friday. I love flea markets and hope I’ll have some time to check out what’s there! I’ll have copies of my latest releases so you can get autographed copies and I hope you can make it!

Wishing all my fellow women with children a Happy Mother’s Day!
