Laughter and a Boujee Camino
What makes you laugh (or cry)? I know it’s been a while. I’m finally feeling back to normal after returning from six weeks in Europe—where we launched the new novel Camino Child, and from New Jersey, where we saw one of our grandsons graduate from Coast Guard boot camp. Yes, we’re proud. In Europe, I spent weeks walking many a beautiful Camino mile and spreading the word about the book launch. I had tons of fun making new friends, breaking bread, walking, and talking. I ran into people I had met before and folks I had only known through Camino social media groups. I was even fortunate enough to see…

Cover Reveal
It was a close thing, a close race. Choosing the cover art for my new novel, Camino Child, was one of the hardest parts of this project. In general, writers liked the “red” version, and readers liked the “blue” version. In the end, my fifteen-year-old granddaughter broke a virtual tie. The blue (the dominant color in this cover) version it shall be, then. Camino Child will release at Amazon.com on October 4th. Pre-orders will open in the next two weeks. Keep a watchful eye for that announcement, coming soon.

A Big Thank You and an Announcement
We’re coming to the end of a road. And I thank you. Camino Child, my first novel (first under my name), should see the light of day this fall. And there are people I want to thank for their inspiration and suggestions, coaching, training, and for sometimes just plain humoring me. “No one accomplishes anything in this life on his or her own. Even when we stare in awe at what might appear to be a solitary feat – like climbing to the top of a mountain alone – there is invisible support. There are loved ones at home who cherish the adventure. A mentor to teach. A colleague with…

Camino Child – The Next Phase
How is your springtime shaping up? In northern California it has been beautiful. Too beautiful in fact. We need rain. But we’ll enjoy this for as long as it lasts. Last week, I posted this on Facebook: “I’m just back from my first ever writers conference. If you are a writer, and have not been to a conference, you owe it to yourself. I went with a bag full of questions. But the main query in my mind for the weekend was, what’s next? What do I need to learn, write, stretch myself at in the weeks and months ahead?” The post went on from there. It’s been a while…
