Sunmmer Time And The Livin’s Not Easy But it Sure is GOOD!

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

This summer Runaway Grandma has kept me on my toes. It’s selling well and reader response remains enthusiastic. In fact, it went into a second printing!

On June 18 I was the guest on Jerry’s Morning Radio Show in Coudersport , PA. We gave four books away during the interview and it was such fun… Jerry said she’d never seen her phone lines light up so quickly with so many calls!

I visited Clarion, PA Presbyterian Church Book Club on June 23. 

On June 24 I was a guest of the Kane, PA  Library Book Club.

I visited the Crane Ridge Book Club near Springville, NY on July 16. (It was a lovely evening for their summer picnic on the secluded beautiful deck of a club members home, enjoyed by 35 members… I was fashionably late since in my brillance I locked my keys inside my van when I stopped at McDonalds to change into crisp white slacks! AAA saved me from complete disaster 45 minustes later…)

On July 21, I visited the Portville NY Library Book Club.

Runaway Grandma was the book of the month for each of these Book Clubs and lively discussions proved that diverse backgrounds produce a wide range of opinions! Sometimes I have to remind the readers that it is just a story! Each group was unique and my time with each one was very special to me.

On July 26 I had a Book Signing at the Forest Nook Restaurant in Cooks Forest, PA. I met campers from Erie, Pittsburgh, Indiana, PA, Corning, NY, Ohio and many other areas. There was a Wilcox Winery Wine Tasting going on at the same time…and yes they have very good wines!! It was a fun day…the books sold well, I met new friends and my parents even came to visit and have dinner. Oh yes, and The Forest Nook has excellent food.

On the Internet side of Runaway Grandma, PageOneLit.com has given an excellent review and author profile. This info was shared with AuthorsPressReleases.com and Book-And-Authors.net.

Meanwhile, I continue to complete my writing goals at a snails pace but making slow progress is better than none at all. 

Till the next blog, adios!
