Turkey Sandwiches

We traditionally serve turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas for a small family gathering of about six to eight people. After the camaraderie of the day, I always look forward to the best aspect of the leftovers starting the next day: turkey sandwiches. I don’t care if there is much left of the accompanying potatoes, vegetables, dressing, gravy or cranberry sauce. Just as long as there is turkey and bread. What leftovers do you enjoy?

Holiday Season

It’s the time of year for finalizing Christmas and New Years plans. We’ve mailed our annual family newsletter, ordered a turkey breast from Honey Baked Ham, competed much of our shopping with some final touches over the next few days, and our 4-year-old grandson eagerly awaits Santa Claus.

May this be a happy time for you and your family.

Doing Events with Other Authors

I have done numerous presentations and signings solo, but it’s always more enjoyable to be participating in an author event with a fellow author. This coming Sunday, Jeri Westerson and I will be discussing our latest paranormal mystery novels, interviewing each other and signing books. Come join us for a lively discussion.

Library Events

I often visit my local libraries to take my four-year-old grandson to story time and to check out books and audio books. Whenever I’m driving by myself, I’m listening to an audio book. The current one is Pachinko by Min Jin Lee.

It’s always a pleasure to be invited to speak at a library. My next library event is at Westminster Library, 8180 13^th St., Westminster, CA, on Saturday December 14 at noon. The title of my presentation is, “Becoming an author has no expiration date,” about my experience starting to write later in life and writing about older characters.
