Send Me Your Picture With Keeping Faith
As we embark on the publishing of novel two, Promises Kept, I am going to change my blogging a bit, but never fear; it will better than before and a little more all encompassing. As you can see the web site is already undergoing some changes so that is a start to the new look and feel. I will continue to highlight some of my life experiences and travels on a regular basis, but beginning this week, the main focus will be on my books.
Some of you have asked why I write, how I develop my characters, where the settings will be and so forth. So, I will try to answers those questions, plus a whole lot more. Also, I plan to put more excerpts from both books as a “tease.” See, my goal is for you to really want to read everything I write!!!
I want you to be impatient and anxious to read the next book or blog. So, for the next several months I will weave information about the books and all things related into a couple of blogs a week. I will have three blogs a week, coming out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, giving you Saturday and Sunday to catch up—and me too!!
The Monday blog will be book related; the Wednesday blog will generally be about something going on in my life and similar to what you have been used to reading, and the Friday blog will be devoted to an excerpt from Keeping Faith. Starting next Friday, the book will be serialized in snippets beginning at the Prologue. But, if you are planning to read the whole book that way, you better have loads of patience, because it may take up to a year to finish. See, once again, it is to get you interested or refresh your memory, not to replace buying the book. But, if you are cheap and in no hurry, enjoy!!!
Hopefully, these changes will help broaden my audience to include those curious about my plots, characters and process of writing. I promise to make the blogs interesting and light. You know by now that I have to have humor spread about in heavy doses. After all, if it isn’t fun for you or me, there isn’t much sense in having a blog.
As I make these changes, I would love to have your input, along with direct questions that you might have for me concerning the books. You can write your questions and/or suggestions in the comment section of the blog. I will either answer it there or in a subsequent blog.
The most important people in this process are those of you have been my loyal readers, and therefore, I want you to like what you read and continue to support this endeavor, which is so important to me. Also, I would love for you to email me pictures of you holding or reading my book or upload them to my Facebook Fan Page, and I will feature you in a blog. Don’t be bashful. Be the first!!
Paragraphs on Padre 
Just sent you a pic. On my Mac, I can’t read the blue text with the dark background but I read it on your other post that I get. I was so proud of my signed copy that I turned my book around so everyone could see. Good thing you didn’t write anything you wouldn’t want publicized!
I know how some of your characters come to life…I’m married to one. Keep up the blogs. I love to hear how you come up with the stories and of your travels.
In Keeping Faith why didn’t you call the East Texas Junior College town Kilgore?
Peggy, quite honestly, I am not sure. I think I was afraid I was coming down a little hard on it, and didn’t want to because it was home, but I did give it lots of thought and just decided to give several places different names—- I took writer’s liberty. Who said it was Kilgore??ha, Maybe, maybe not. I do know that a friend bought a copy of the book for the public library there so that is cool. Thanks, Jean for that!
I found your blog after doing a search on yahoo – I enjoyed my visit. Just wanted you to know I was here.
Hi, Thanks so much. I hope you will come back soon and often. Your comment and suggestions are appreciated.
