Where Did The Time Go?
I have to keep this brief because I need to logoff and get ready for work right away. I know I was a little slow getting out of bed this morning, but I'm not quite sure where the time went. Okay, so I did a little update to my website and sent out a newsletter to my email loop for September; I still thought I'd have more time.
I received a thank you note from one of the contests I'd judged! Yea! But she didn't give me the name of her entry, and I'm trying to guess which of the five stories I judged might have been hers. At least she gave me the name of the contest, that was good since I've judged a few lately.
Saw a woman on the news saying that Hurricane Rita is like earthquakes in CA or snow storms up north. I can go with the earthquake analogy, but not the snow storm. Unless a person is an imbecile who goes out driving too fast in bad weather or does some other brainless maneuver, it's rare that anyone dies from a snow storm. For sure, it doesn't leave anyone's home damaged beyond repair. Winter might be a bitch, but it's generally not a killer or destroyer of property.
I have a book signing tomorrow--which I'm sure I've mentioned here repeatedly--and I need to find my display easel with the Crimson Veil cover so I can put it up at my table. I love the cover, and hopefully, it'll draw some people over. I know at least one person from work has promised to attend so I won't be sitting there completely lonely. :-)

I would love to have you at my book club - :) we do have a few authors come for signings - Stella Cameron is coming soon - she hardly ever gives a signing - but we are feeling special - we would love to see you in Beaverton - Oregon - Marcy or group leader & also (Bookseller of the Year!)provides a great Romance Book hayven for us. Boarders Books -A Place to realax and feel special.
How far is Beaverton from Eugene? I've been to the Eugene area twice and loved it there. Best bookstores! I came home with 70 books and couldn't lift the bag into the plane's overhead compartment. I had to ride with it under the seat in front of me. :-)
Anyway, if I get out to Oregon again, I'll see about stopping by the bookstore for a signing. I don't have much vacation since I use it to write or go to conferences.

Hello Patti - Beaverton is just outside of Portland - 2 hours north of Eugene.
I've been to Eugene a few times - Once I had to visit my rival university - Oregon State - late at night - had to get a book from their Univ. Library - It felt so weird - borrowing a book from our "enemy"! but I just had to have the book to finish my final Political Science exam. I had to drive around and around to find a spot to park - then I had to hope no one damaged my car - I had my Oregon State University sticker proudly displayed in the back window:) - luckily no one decided to egg my care.
oops car
Tam,
I didn't realize the rivalry was so intense between your school and the one in Eugene! I went to the U of MN, which was basically a commuter school and I don't remember anyone getting too excited about other universities in the Big 10. Very lucky that your car survived unscathed and that you were able to acquire the book you needed.
Patti
