No, I didn’t get married recently. We tied the knot almost six years ago. However, we failed to get digital photos. My sister was kind enough to scan these and email them to me. I thought it’d be fun to post these for my blog readers to enjoy. I’ll probably post on my For Fun page on my website, too.
My blog was awarded the Premio Dardos Award awhile back via my blogger friend Abi. See details here!
I’ve been tired and busy lately, working overtime at my job. I still have books more books I need to review. Wanted to mention that if you live near the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area, I’ll be doing a booksigning on Wednesday. Here is the information:
Romance Writers of America Literacy Booksigning
July 15, 2009 5:30-7:30 PM; I will also be attending the Romance Writers of America Annual Conference – July 15 – July 18, 2009
Marriott Wardman Park
2660 Woodley Road, NW
Washington, District Of Columbia 20008
Stop by and chat for awhile if you wish, and purchase a few books. There will be tons of authors there (mostly secular) and the proceeds from the sale of the books go toward literacy programs.
I watched the Michael Jackson Memorial today. It was very tastefully done. Since he died, my mind has been inundated with MJ memories.
I remember being around five and seeing the Jackson Five on television. I recall watching the J5 cartoon every Saturday morning in the early seventies.
…seeing MJ and his brothers singing Dancin’ Machine and his doing the Robot
…seeing J5 doing commercials for Alpha Bits cereal
…listening to J5, and the Jacksons albums and 45s on the record player
…the impact that Thriller had in the music world when I was in high school. I listened to that cassette tape so much that I about wore it out
When I got into my twenties, out of college, I purchased MJ CD’s since records were going out of style.
I could go on and on with my memories. I’ve been listening to MJ music in some form practically my entire life.
Just can’t believe he’s dead. I guess this is the first time a star has died that’s affected me so much.
Rest In Peace, Michael.
I’ll be back to blogging about regular topics tomorrow.
They’re a year old, now! Here’s the link! Enjoy!
I blogged about the novel Unconventional here.
Well, it’s been released, and you can purchase your copy here, and you can also listen to the free serialized audio book version here.
I enjoyed reading this story, and I encourage you all to read J.J. Hebert’s novel!
Here’s what I had to say about this story:
I loved Unconventional, a stirring love story and spiritual journey that will surely touch your heart. You’ll remember James Frost for a long time!
But his death is starting to sink in now. My shock is slowly wearing off.
On the writing front, I’ve found some contest entries that I agreed to judge ages ago. After I get those submitted to the contest coordinator, I’ll go back to blogging about books, recipes and my regular stuff!
I know this isn’t my usual blog post. I don’t talk about stars and celebrities, but my sister called me a half hour ago and told me that Michael Jackson is dead!! I grew up in the seventies…an African American girl enamored with Michael Jackson and his brothers! I remember listening to Thriller cassette tape over and over in high school. I remember the Jackson Five songs Dancin’ Machine, ABC, Never Can Say Goodbye, you name it!
I didn’t follow him as much as an adult, and didn’t really agree with his lifestyle, but, still…I’m just shocked that he’s dead is all!!! I’m devastated…shocked!!
Check out these book marketing tips that I provided on the Christian Authors Netowrk (CAN) Blog. Stop by and leave a comment!
I read a book by Robin Lee Hatcher, and another by Terry Blackstock. Will be blogging about those within the next few days.
I’ve been getting around 4:30-5:00 AM over the last few days trying to work on a book! I’m hoping to get that done within the next couple of months!
