Today, October 26, 1881, Wyatt, Morgan, and Virgil Earp, plus Doc Holliday, were in a 30-second shootout in Tombstone with 3 cowboys (aka rustlers, thieves), who
were killed. Read my book, A New York Lady In Helldorado. vcwilliamsauthor.com/books/a-new-...

Today is World Bread day! What's your favorite?
Mine - any kind, fresh from the oven with butter melting and dripping into every crevice. I prefer crusty crust. Bring a napkin.😉

There is a growing movement today that advocates for women to return to their traditional roles of homemaking and child-rearing. It's an honorable and important role, but unrealistic today, where traditional families require at least 2 incomes to keep food on the table. What do you think?

In prep mode for another series of book signings in September. I have event notices posted on Nextdoor for the local crowd, as well as advertisements in the local paper, which most of my potential buyers read. I've got books to sell! Want one? vcwilliamsauthor.com

Despite a background in technical writing, I love writing fiction about strong women. I'm descended from strong Pioneer Women who worked alongside their fathers, brothers, or husbands on farms in Texa...

Read my memories of Gibraltar, the British territory guarding the Straits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
GIBRALTAR AND WHERE I GOT TOUGH
During our 2018 Moroccan trip, we took the train from London to Paris and then to Barcelona. But when we arrived at Gibraltar, an English-speaking British territory, I had to reveal my talons for the first time. It's a bit of a story, so sit back and enjoy the read. After visiting Barcelona, we realized our timeline would force us to zip through the rest of Spain with one short overnight stop in Madrid.

I am learning a lot of history about my hometown as I research for my current WIP, set mainly in 1907. How much do you know about your hometown's history? It's always fascinating! Do you use familiar history in your stories? #Booksky

I'm preparing for the White Mountain Festival of Books in Show Low, AZ, 8/9/25. At 6,345 ft high, I'll be dragging my portable oxygen. My O2 levels drop when I sleep. 😅 But the festival will still be great! Can't wait to meet new people and share author stories.

I just finished and scheduled my latest author newsletter. My results have been lackluster, so I added a survey to find out what it needs, a book review, and a free chapter from my almost finished WIP. I deleted the survey (agghh!) so had to rebuild it. This grief better be worth it! #booksky

I've been working on a reader survey for my author newsletter. I'm getting an average of 50% or less of those who bother to look at the newsletter, let alone read it. No wonder I'm getting no action.
What works for you? #booksky

Antoni Gaudí transformed it into his vision, with Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. When he died in 1926, the church was less than a quarter complete. With private donations funding it and allowing for interruptions for wars, the work continues. I
BLISSFUL BARCELONA
In March 2018, we traveled by train from Paris to Barcelona. It is 516 miles and might have taken over eight hours to get there. We arrived at the Paris train station early, and while we waited for our train, we enjoyed croissants and freshly squeezed orange juice. I don't know why we don't have those marvelous orange-squeezing machines in the US!

I had two book signings this past week and two more scheduled for next week as part of the Authors in Grocery Stores program. I hate to say it, but there are too many out there who "don't read books" anymore. 🥴

As we traveled from the train station, we drove near overhead railway tracks, and as trains passed by, the clacking of the wheels gave us their greeting to this ancient, beloved city, filled with diverse cultures and people from all over the world. I found it enchanting.
AHHH…PARIS!
I have always wanted to see Paris and...No, not die, but to wander its avenues and smell the chestnuts in the rain. To be honest, I could say almost the same thing about any iconic place in the world. My husband always says travel isn't the destination but the anticipation. I totally disagree. Travel that involves going anywhere more than a hundred miles from home isn't a simple, no-brainer process for me.

I've scheduled my next series of book signings for July with the Grocery Store Authors program. Being an introvert, I already want to cancel them. (sigh) I'm hoping to get my mystery published in July. Here's the cover. It may be my best yet! That "practice makes perfect" thing. #Booksky
