Avalanche of Awesomeness/Windstorm of Woe
Hello!
I’ve missed posting here for a while, so please forgive all the catching up I’ll have to do today! At first, I was absent for good/great reasons…
A trip to Paris with my niece!
School visits!
Library visits!
End of School stuff for my kids!
Amazing book launch parties for my friends!
And even an Indies First! Read-Aloud Storytime day in Houston!
Anyway…
I had plans to do an amazing, thought-provoking recap post (or series of posts!) about all of that stuff. Then a giant windstorm whipped through my neighborhood (like a tornado, with wind speeds up to 120+ according to a neighbor with a wind gauge) and did very bad things to my house (trees falling on our AC units, leaks forming in the house, goat shed picked up and removed from the yard!!!) and injured one of our sweet goats. (She is okay! Just a bunch of stitches and now a lot of TLC.)
So I’m writing this in a house with no AC (not a big deal unless you live where I do, where temps in the summer reach “Hades” by noon), waiting for workpeople to come and make the house liveable again.
Consequently, I may not be able to check in here as much over the summer.
But there are big things on the way! In August, I will have a brand new author website! It’s going to be soooo pretty.
And I’m at all sorts of events this summer, including out of state bookstore visits! Here’s a quick list of places that are confirmed. Come see me there! And bring me a popsicle? It’s hot.
Writer’s League of Texas Thursday panel on pitches, June 19, 7 p.m. at Bookpeople
Westbank Library in Beecave, Writing workshop for young writers, July 29, 4:30 pm
And guess what? I’m doing a mini BOOK TOUR in New Mexico and Colorado!
August 2, Bookworks in Albuquerque, 10:30 a.m. with the stunning author Kimberley Griffiths Little!
August 3, Beehive Books in Santa Fe, N.M., time TBA
August 6, Boulder Bookstore in Boulder, CO, 6:30 p.m.
More dates and venues to come! Stay safe, and write on.

Hey Miss Awesome,
We’ll still be friends – even though your famous ‘n’ all, right? Hope that A/C gets fixed ASAP. Ours was out for about five minutes this morning and the temp shot up to 75. Yowzers.
Love and hugs from East of you.
