Vero Beach Book Signing Blog
My signing at Waldenbooks in Vero Beach, Florida, the first of October went very well. Bob Soos interviewed me on his Morning Magazine radio show Friday, Oct. 3, and we talked about my book, Chasin’ the Wind, and the signing. Bob gave three copies of the book away to people who could answer Key West trivia questions he came up with.
You Blog.
He, She, It Blogs.
So let's Blog. The topics? Writing, television/movies and where those two intersect. Why? Because I love books and I love TV.
Joan Reeves, from Slingwords.blogspot.com, tagged me to write “6 things about me and books.” She also tagged: Sweet But Sassy Adina, Bill Crider, Cait London, and L. C. Hayden.
Books, as I look over my computer desk I have four room-length bookshelves above me, filled past capacity with books I’ve read and, laying on their sides, books on my ‘to read’ list. So 6 things . . . here goes . . .
As co-founder of Backspace, an Internet-based writers organization with hundreds of members in a dozen countries, I knew only a handful of friends would be able to attend my book launch no matter where it was held. So I decided to recreate the traditional launch party experience on the Web.
As a journalist/mystery writer, the following quote frightens me and holds various meanings, as it should to anyone that uses the written word to make a living or to blog. So many of our freedoms are in peril these days and way too many of us are willing to give them up for feeling secure when we fly or visit the mall or drive on our roads.
Personally, I think Homeland Security is made up of smoke and mirrors and security at our airports is still being run by the seat-of-its-pants, a fact that has been proven by the media that has been able to smuggle contraband aboard plans.
Good day, friends and fans:

What a fabulous innovation, and just in time for me to plan a few drop-in signings on my travels from Detroit to Boston and back next month! I did a preliminary search by plugging in "Pennsylvania," and this looks great - a huge list of bookstores and their locations and contact info popped up! Once we decide on our driving route, I can pick out what bookstores I want to stop at along the way, and even contact them ahead of time - how cool is that?
