Wow!  Between teaching & migraines I haven't done much.  But!!

Yesterday I spent the afternoon sending out queries and got a new idea.  We are spending Thanksgiving away - long road trip - and there will be lots of pen & paper in my Entertainment Bag!

Last weekend was the Peak City Book Fest.  I got to see my friend Eileen for breakfast & catch up.  That was marvelous!  She is getting a new illustrator for her tales and I got to peek at the submissions.   Peak City was awful.  No one I questioned could admit to making any money and the big place they choose as an appropriate venue for book signings is Chick-Fil-A.   Half of the vendors were not in the literary world.  To get foot traffic they brought in jewelry, hand-made goods, & down-liners.  I love jewelry, hand-made goods, and down-liners and I buy from them, but it shouldn't take that diversity for a Publishing House to get traffic for AUTHORS.

I'm looking forward to this week.  Maybe something good will happen?
