Happy Mardi Gras!

Happy Mardi Gras! Did you know that Mardi Gras means “Fat Tuesday” and that the day earned its name because people would eat richer foods (and probably more of them) in preparation for the fasting that would occur during Lent? As you know, Mardi Gras is also celebrated with various parades and festivals across the world like New Orleans. It also happens to be New Orleans’ 300th Birthday!

If you can’t make it to New Orleans how about joining me at the Mardi Gras themed party at the Liberty States Fiction Writers Reader and Writer conference? We’ll be dancing and raffling off gift baskets and I’ve got some beads and masks for you all! So check it out at www.lsfwriters.com!

#TravelTuesday – A Trip to London

I’ve been blessed to visit London several times. A few times for business and research and then for a family vacation! It’s one of my favorite cities and I hope I get to visit there again soon. We’ve been lucky to be there for the British equivalent of Memorial Day and it’s inspiring to see how veterans and the military are honored. Today’s picture is a shot of the Tower of London where they keep the Crown Jewels and traitors. An interesting mix.
