As this year-like-no-other continues, so does book awards season. First newsboy: the delight– Seven Aprils has just achieved finalist status in the Laramie Award for Americana fiction, and the Chatelaine Award for Romantic fiction. Wow, thought, I…Lovely Bellingham Washington, here, I come for the Chanticleer International Conference and Awards dinner! That was back in April…until it was moved to September. Now plans are for the whole shebang to go into Zoomlandia. But, stay tuned, of course!

How I will treasure my friends and family in person when Covid-19 is done with us!

I hope you are faring well and escaping into good stories!

Me, I’m looking for my tiara…one can never overdress for an awards ceremony via Zoom.
