Good News, New books and More Adventures!

I'm getting lots of positive responses from readers of my latest Oak Tree book, EAGLE RISING. Sedona, Arizona is a wonderful New Age setting that I couldn't resist using for a book. Readers tell me they have enjoyed learning more about the unique Red Rock Country.

We'll be going down to Jupiter, Florida and Spring Training with the St. Louis Cardinals in a few weeks. Baseball season is my favorite time of the year, and Spring Training is such fun. During practice sessions you can get close to the players for autographs and good photos. Last year, my husband got a picture of me with manager Tony LaRussa and another of me with broadcaster Al Hrobosky (sitting on his lap). That was during a special BBQ event that was part of a Spring Training package.

At some point while in the Jupiter/Palm Beach area, I hope to have a book signing for EAGLE RISING and would appreciate ideas for good book stores--especially some independents.

For 2008, I'm looking forward to more writing adventures!
