So the first book is done, it’s out there in print and e-book versions and I took a big breath once it got posted to Amazon. But I forgot to let it out. I’ve been known to hold my breath at critical moments. Just ask my one-time horseback riding instructor, Liz. Did it over the jumps every time. Well, I…

Book cover, Bookmarks and Author’s Business Card These designs were done by my daughter Rebecca Magar along with the cover art for the book itself. Awesome, exciting stuff. This marketing thing can be fun. It lets you use your creative side in so many ways besides the writing. Love these. I am just so thrilled with the way things are…
This year’s Book Expo is coming up soon! October 15th at the York Fairgrounds Memorial Hall. So excited because this year, I will be there on the other side of the table. I will have my own book on display for sale that day. I just can’t get over the whole idea. Please drop by, and be sure to look…
Fifteen pounds. That’s about the weight of the manuscript I’ve been working on for two years, the several revisions I reprinted of it, all the backup research, the folders it took to hold it all, and several spiral bound notebooks filled with words, thoughts, ideas. I picked it up this morning to clean around it and got the brilliant idea…
What do you see in this photo? Look closely. If you could touch it, what would it feel like? If you could hear it, what would it sound like? If you could watch it move, what would it look like? Last week one day I decided to try hard to hear, feel and watch my world–closely. It was…
Today was a busy day. So much going on. The edit of the book, In The Shadow of Porter’s Hollow, continues. Down to the line by line chapter by chapter. Yes, the big stuff is done. However, refining the final project is both exhilarating and exhausting. Met with the Year of the Book group early afternoon, http://yotbpress.com. Busy with marketing ideas. How…

I like visitors. I am a writer. I get visitors all the time–doctors, lawyers, murderers and criminals of all kinds, animals, wolf-demon creatures, crazy people, even dead bodies drop by frequently. Then there are the tutengas, lalabengas and even, sometimes, walawalalendas.
It’s been a while since I posted because . . . I’ve been writing! And writing, and writing, and writing! And yes, the second draft is done! Yahooeee! I found it a difficult process.
