Tallahassee Democrat article about Canterwood Crest

3 Comments

The Tallahassee Democrat ran an article in yesterday’s paper. Want to see it online? View it here! I love the title, too, “Rider-turned-writer is in winner’s circle.” Very sweet.

Thanks so much to Kathleen Laufenberg. She wrote an article about me when I got the book deal back in 2007 and I’m glad she was able to write this new article. Thanks also to the Democrat for being supportive of a new author. I so appreciate it!

Thank YOU all for your congratulations yesterday!! It was a special day and I’ll never forget it! 🙂

Canterwood Crest in the Effingham Daily News

1 Comment

Yay! The Effingham Daily News posted their article about Canterwood Crest! You can read the online version here. I used to live in Dieterich, IL, which was about 10 minutes from Effingham. But I went to school in Effingham and spent a lot of time there.

Thanks so much to Bill Grimes for writing the piece! 🙂

Top Ten Literary Cities

6 Comments

In yesterday’s USA Today, the book section of the paper rated the top ten literary cities. Can you guess?

Here they are in order:

Minneapolis
Seattle
St. Paul
Denver
Washington, DC
St. Louis
San Fran
Atlanta
Pittsburgh
Boston

Is your city on the list? I was a bit surprised by a couple of these, but some like San Fran and Boston were obvious to me. I read an article a few weeks ago that said San Fran was one of the fastest growing literary cities.

TGIF! What are your weekend plans? I’m revising CB and reading a new book that I got yesterday–Guerrilla PR. Next week, I’m going to review Donald Maass’ The Breakout Novel, so stay tuned for that.
