Me. Signing books at the Westland Author Fair. A great event. Yes, I always sell books. I am lucky like that. Author Tip, always talk to your potential reader or future customer like you care and that you are not a snob who just wants a sale. I prefer realism and someone who will read my work.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day. May you remember your family's contribution to WW2 or remember that my family sacrificed during WW2 as well. May they never be forgotten; nor those who survived and fought back for all of us.

The wordsmithing continues. I have more to write, and started a fictional story last night. We will see if the story I want or others emerge from it. Right now there are too many ideas, and plots dancing around. But it's ok, it will be what it is meant to be.

The wordsmithing continues and a new book idea has already germinated. It's a culmination of writing forever, lol, well maybe not that, but decades. As a writer, Nano has been an inspiration for this novelist. Write today and fuel that story line. My novels have had an audience for years. #write.

One of my art pieces, a fine art photograph, turned into a Banner that was hung in 4th square. I had hoped for three banners but only two were made. My award winning piece was the one I wanted to see the most up on a banner, but, it didn't get printed for unknown reasons. Maybe next time. 11 8 24
