Books, Babble & Barter

Okay, lame name. Sorry. But. . . Finally, a Bloggin' Babe event!

Thursday, November 19
7:00 p.m.
Karlene's house
(E-MAIL for address & directions)

1. Come prepared to talk about some of the best books you've read this year. (Bring pen & paper to take notes on titles you might want to read yourself.)
   
   
2. Bring books to swap. Get rid of books you don't want anymore; take home titles you haven't read yet.
   
   
3. Bring a snack to share—whatever you want, healthy or not. Karlene will provide drinks.
   
   
4. Bring your calendar. We'll be scheduling the next few B5 get togethers, deciding if we want to do a monthly book chat & swap, etc. etc. etc.
   

I know this is short notice, but I was waiting for my schedule to clear and then I realized Thanksgiving was almost here. Hope most of you can make it.

Please let me know if you're coming so I'll have enough chairs—although if you can come at the last minute, COME!

My book trailer is out!

Just had to share. This has been several months in the planning and creating stages so I'm totally excited to see it. A big thanks to Stephanie Fowers for filming and compiling the video, and the Kevin Mathie who wrote the music (isn't it gorgeous?).



In other news I've had an interview and a couple of book reviews this week.

Cindy Williams interviewed me for her blog Writer's Mirror on Wednesday.

Danyelle Ferguson at Queen of the Clan blog reviewed my book. Danyelle has a non-fiction book coming out next summer which I'm totally excited about.

Tristi Pinkston, author and reviewer of many fine books, reviewed my book on her blog.

A big thanks to all of these ladies! My big local launch party is happening at the Fillmore, Utah library tomorrow from 10 AM to 1 PM if you or anyone you know lives in the area, invite them over.

It's Time for a Tea Party

This Saturday is July 4th, America's Birthday. The Patriot's Day Tea Party is a gathering of Americans from all walks of life, from all parties, all organizations, all with one goal...the restoration of the Republic and the Constitution reinstated as the rule of law. We are speaking up for America. Americans uniting in a single voice in defense of our nation.

Yes, we have great speakers, great music, great food and fun planned for this tea party. But at its heart is the desire of each person attending to restore America to her full glory. May I issue each of you a solemn promise: America will not fall. We can and will save her. But it will take each of us talking to family, friends, neighbors and peers, encouraging them to stand up for truth, stand up for America.

This Saturday, those attending the Orem tea party will be joining over 1,331 other tea parties and millions of Americans across the nation as we unite in this great cause. As I have stated over and over, there is no greater way to celebrate the birth of America by fighting for our liberty and our Constitution on our Independence Day.

Have a wonderful week everyone. See you on Saturday, 10:00 a.m. sharp!
