DEFIES EXPLANATION - Photos
Want everyone to know they can see these new updates by clicking here on AUTHORSDEN.
- Addition to the Short Story
- Two news items (Author Interview video and Book Trailer)
- Addition of Author biography
On another note ;-)
I was struck this week by how much nature can inform our lives. For me this isn't very often. I tend towards ideas, people, and buildings (their art and history). But once in awhile I take notice (I have to think that some force outside of me makes this happen - because I am pretty obstinate.)
Anyhow, we were given a very sickly little Marigold plant last year. We planted it but there was just no hope for it. It was free so not too great a loss. But apparently this spring a seed remained. It grew into what you see below. This incredible bush like I have never seen before - not for this kind of little plant. So I asked my daughter to sit beside it to give the size some perspective. After I took the photo - I looked at the camera display...I saw my daughter sitting next to this incredible plant.
Now we fought for 3.5 years to get her free from a Ukrainian orphanage two years ago. 12 years of institutional living there has presented some challenges - and coming to a new and different language, culture, and into a family. But like this plant...she is who you see here. Beautiful, growing and blossoming in so many amazing ways. There they were...two of a kind.
Good soil, water, and sun help any plant. But for these results, defying explanation, coming from such a difficult beginning - there has to have been extra care coming from somewhere, you know. Just saying. :-)
Have a great weekend!

MORE Than You Ever Wanted to Know About Me
Hey Land Run readers! I want to update you about a new site that features my novel and recent short story. I plan to add (much revised) excerpts from my new novel project as well.
It really is a great site!
Also, in other news, Land Run will soon be available in the Oklahoma Metropolitan Library System. Tulsa is reviewing the novel as well - I am hoping for a positive result there as well. Choctaw Library is considering the novel for a special feature.

Rock Star!
I had a great time doing book-signings this past week. I was at the Via Cappaccino in Rocky Mount, NC. I am soon closing in on middle-age and had a college student ask me to sign her arm. That might be, no - that will be, as close to a 'Rock Star' experience I will ever see. ;-) After which, of course, I had to leave my make-shift bookstand to keep my two-year old from throwing puzzle pieces at their customers.
Will have another book-signing in Raleigh in August - if in the area please come on out.

4 May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!

Happy Independence Day!
Hi! Just a reminder - if you happen to be in North Carolina this week. Every so often I will post some Book-Signing events as they come close to the time. This is one of those times. :-) Please stop by Storytellers Books in Wake Forest, NC if you have time. There will be music provided and also a local festival going on. Lots of fun. (and if you have never been to Storytellers - it is a great hangout with a mess of books!)
