    TOOK YOU SO LONG is a year old today. Thank you for the many suggestions on how to celebrate. After much deliberation I decided to enroll in a heavy-duty writing course. Yup. Lifelong learning is still my thing. So, in between book promotion events for book #1 and rewrites and edits for book #2, I’ll be watching videos, reading short stories, writing, writing, writing and posting / commenting on an online discussion board. We all celebrate in different ways. Wish me luck. Maybe there’s a book #3 in my future. ... See MoreSee Less

Carolyn K, our gracious host, facilitated discussion of TOOK YOU SO LONG like a pro. Thank you ALL for the deep discussion, insights, and laughs. Your support, as always, is appreciated. P.S. I snuck in a visit with Nana’s little girls, too. ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

    TOOK YOU SO LONG is a year old today. Thank you for the many suggestions on how to celebrate. After much deliberation I decided to enroll in a heavy-duty writing course. Yup. Lifelong learning is still my thing. So, in between book promotion events for book #1 and rewrites and edits for book #2, I’ll be watching videos, reading short stories, writing, writing, writing and posting / commenting on an online discussion board. We all celebrate in different ways. Wish me luck. Maybe there’s a book #3 in my future. ... See MoreSee Less
