My husband saw 2 deer walk through our yard yesterday – the first time this has happened – at least when we could observe them. I hope they won’t get run over so close to my road – at least the Christian Dominion School near us must be out for the summer and the kids who drive so fast are not coming by. I am thinking of some questions.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-62893887687350391872010-06-29T00:24:27.385-04:002010-06-29T00:24:27.385-04:00I can't wait to read this book!

I wish publishing was a speedier process... <br /><br />I've already pre-ordered 'The Day of Small Things' from Amazon, and every time I go through my e-mail I am cheered when I see their confirmation that it will be here 'round about September 28th. <br /><br />I hope you'll love San Francisco, it's one of my favorite cities. It's about 650 miles to the north of me. <br /><br />If you have time while you're there, do try to visit the Muir Woods National Monument, a section of old growth coastal Redwoods. They are truly awesome to see. It's eleven miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge on Hwy 101. You take that to the Hwy 1/Stinson Beach exit and follow the signs.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851516387194415387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-4046167464058048202010-06-28T21:51:11.793-04:002010-06-28T21:51:11.793-04:00Star and Vagabonde -- I'm excited about going ...Star and Vagabonde -- I'm excited about going to San Francisco -- have never been there. <br /><br />Figs as large as pears!

How exciting to have written a book like this and one that will be successful. <br />Again this year we have eaten two figs already which were as large as pears and have about 4 more coming up – the rest are small and green like those in your picture. I hope they get ripe before mid-august so I can make jam. It would be great for you to come to Atlanta and I hope I would not be on one of our already scheduled trips.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-43951744008161415952010-06-28T19:13:15.507-04:002010-06-28T19:13:15.507-04:00How exciting!

But she has moved on to another job and it wasn't till today that my new publicist contacted me. I had already had requests from a few of the usual venues so I went on and took matters into my own hands. <br /><br />I'd love to come to GA. The thing is, not many booksellers want to do events for authors that don't already have a following. If a bookseller invited me to do a reading and I thought there was a possibility of a turnout of more than ten people, I'd be there. Maybe I'll do a blog post soon on 'book tours.' <br /><br />Elora -- my signing schedule is in the sidebar under ON THE ROAD and I'll add to it as more events are scheduled.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-53565459079606957862010-06-28T14:25:14.334-04:002010-06-28T14:25:14.334-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-82341960438788886522010-06-28T12:43:01.544-04:002010-06-28T12:43:01.544-04:00You should be excited!!
