Only a week has passed!

Only a week has passed and I am blogging again. So far I am  keeping my word.

I have to learn to do photos. Tht is the reason for the flower. Mary showed me how to do it. 

It will take me a few times to get the hang of it. I want there to be soomething interesting for you to read, so I'm not limiting myself to writing about writing or quilting oro just life in general. I'm going to be

writing about all of that, probably all mixed up together and tell you what I am doing and learning as I

go along.

One of the things I do is lead a book club. It started at Always in Stitches quilt Shop and from the

book club we decided to write a book, which we did. That book is The Guild in the Granary and it is

available for purchase at McDiggspublishing.com.

Then we publlished Glory which I wrote all alone and it is also availabe for purchase. It has nothing to do with quilts.I am working on a couple of other booksthat may be published in the future. Nobody really knows for sure.

Anyway the book club met on Monday. We had a field trip to the Gantz Farm herb garden which is located in one of the city parks in Grove City, Ohio where we are from. It was very interesting and we appreciate the city making the efforts it makes on behalf of the citizens.  The book for the month was The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen. Most of the group like4d this book but we didn't get to rate it. The meeting was sort of as mess because pre-schoolers were having end-of-the-year activities at the park.  It was hard to hear and we didin't get to have  much of a discussion. Sometimes things don't work out that well. Monday was one of those days. We broke up early and will try to do better next month.  Next month out book is The Castle of the Flynns by Michael Raleigh.   

Starting Over!

This is Glory! It has been getting great reviews!

I find it helpful to start over every now and then. I mean begin again with my life. I don't know how it got from November to May without my posting a message but it did. Glory is out and response to it has been very good. I gave a copy to our library, because they have no money to buy books, pay staff or do much of anything else and there are reserves on the book. People have to wait in line to read it. I am so excited about this I can hardly stand myself.

We have been to a couple of book signings with Glory and the stack of boxes in my garage is shrinking.  This is good news.People like this story. It is the story of almost any small town and it's people. I want you to read it and let me know what you think.

I am making a pledge to blog once every week into the future. Mary is going to help me  put a picture of Glory up. I hope I will learn to do this myself eventually.  I didn't say how long the blog would be so I'm going to stop now and gather my thoughts before I do this again. I have been advised to talk about other things going on in my life, besides just my writing so I plan to do that. Tell me how I'm doing. Please?  I get nervous when I am all alone.
