My husband was recently honored by his company for his outstanding work last year. Congrats, hubby! As part of his award, we got to visit the Turks & Caicos Islands along with several other honorees. It was nice to go there and even if hubby had meetings, I got to enjoy the spa and some needed down time. I’ve had a lot going on lately which is why I’ve been relatively silent the last few weeks. Hopefully things will settle down soon. For now, some photos from a gorgeous place – the Amanyara Resort in Turks & Caicos!

#ThrowbackThursday – RWA National Conference at Disneyworld
Last year’s RWA conference was so much fun on so many levels. Great workshops, wonderful book signings and most of all, getting to spend time with both old friends and new ones! It was great to see so many people in and around the conference hotel as well as at the Literacy Signing. It was also so nice to spend time with some buddies on a trip to Disneyworld where we got to see the awesome fireworks. I just love fireworks. Believe it or not, this photo was taken with my smartphone. The cameras in them are getting better and better every day.
This year’s conference is in Denver and if you’re in that area, I’d love to see you. The Literacy Book Fair is open to the general public and all proceeds go to a local literacy group so it’s for a good cause. For more info, you can visit www.rwa.org.

#ThrowbackThursday – A Wedding Anniversary
It’s June and the first day of Summer! Happy Summer and also, a Happy Anniversary to my hubby! We celebrated that special day earlier in the month and I thought I’d share a picture with you! It’s hard to believe so much time has flown by and as we always kid each other, even murderers would have been paroled by now. But I guess there’s something that keeps us together.

#ThrowbackThursday – #IWWGTakeover and My First Book Signing
I’m very excited to be doing a takeover on Instagram with the fabulous The International Women’s Writing Guild!
I am also very psyched to be attending my first IWWG conference in July! I’ve wanted to go for so many years and am honored I get to teach a course on writing Commercial Fiction as part of the conference. I hope to share with you all the info I’ve gleaned in nearly 20 years as a published author.
In all those years I’ve helped launch two imprints, have become a NY Times and USA Today bestseller, and have faced the challenges of a rapidly changing publishing market. If you’re attending I hope you’ll enjoy the different classes I’ve prepared for you!
Since it’s #ThrowbackThursday, how about a toss back to my very first book signing. That’s my daughter with me (who has also written a book). It was a very happy moment after many years of writing and trying to get published.
Please take a moment to check out the conference at http://www.iwwg.org/summer-conference #IWWGtakeover #womenwriters #womensvoices #womensstories #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #writingconferences #writingcommunity #muhlenbergcollege #authorsofinstagram #amwriting

#ThrowbackThursday May Showers bring . . .
It used to be that April showers brought May flowers. Considering we had winter in April, it’s now May showers bringing June sun and lots of it I hope. And the flowers, of course! Have a great day! I hope it’s not too soggy for you.
