Author in Action

It's been a while, and I've been busy being an author.  In the Spring this year, I manned a booth of the Tucson Sisters in Crime at the Tucson Book Festival -- a huge event that drew thousands and was attended by famed authors.




Keeping the wind from blowing things away and staying warm were priorities, along with selling and signing books.  It was a cool, blustery day, unusual for Tucson even in the spring.




In November, I was invited to Central Arizona to do a book signing and talk at the Beaver Creek Public Library.  A huge mural of Montezuma's Well covered the back and side walls.  It looked just like the cover of my book, which was actually from a photo my daughter took.

My picture was taped up all over town. 

You can see part of the mural in the back of the room.

They liked it!

As many other authors have found, promoting and publicizing the book takes a lot of time.  Will I have time to write the second one?  I've started it and I'm excited about it.  Now for the time....
