writing a new book

I am currently revising another book that I have written and hope to have it published next spring. The working title is "Mary's Magic Mirror". Will post more later.

what's the point

I can not see what the point is in doing a blog, when so many people are into blogging. No one has ever seen my blog entries, so I have no contacts. No one will see my ad for my published book. This is rather depressing.

A fairy named Mabel

At last spring has come to our part of the world. The fields and pastures are green, the sky is blue and the sunshine is warm. We started our flower planting and it is already the middle of June. At that, we had frost last week! Now that we have flowers, Mabel may make an appearance to us. Here's hoping!

Going away

I haven't written for a long time but will try to post in the next week. On the 20th we go away to take a cruise through the Panama Canal. On the 19th of April I will be signing books at a local bookstore which is celebrating its 1st year of business. Wish me luck in sales!

IN PRAISE OF CLUTTER

"If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk?" Albert Einstein reportedly observed. ........hmm, something to think about!

Fairies in My Garden

In this vivid fantasy tale, Mabel, a fairy, introduces Jessica to a world of elves, gnomes, and spirits. But when a dragon escapes from his lair, the world becomes a target for his rage.
Book Description
While meditating in her garden, Jessica, a middle-aged woman, happens upon Mabel. One of the many fairies who have been assigned to care for all of the plants, stones, and insects in Jessica’s garden, Mabel introduces Jessica to a whole new world—one in which elves have a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow and where the spirits of trees and rocks can communicate with people.
But none of these magical creatures is prepared for what happens when an oil drill hits a dragon living underground. The dragon becomes so enraged that he escapes from his lair in a subterranean cave and enters the human world.
Jessica knows that many people are in great danger, but she doesn’t know how to help. And for quite some time, no one believes that the dragon is real. Luckily, a grizzly bear and mysterious beings try to return the threatening dragon to its home.
Full of fantastic creatures and fueled by imagination, Fairies in My Garden is a wonderful story that will introduce you to a multidimensional world where anything is possible.
THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE at internet book sites such as Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Noble and Chapters in Canada, as well as many foreign sites. It can be ordered at book stores.

I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

Winston Churchill on books

In his book Painting as a Pastime, Winston Churchill wrote, "What shall I do with all my books?" The answer was, "Read them, but if you cannot read them at any rate handle them and, as it were, fondle them. Peer into them. Let them fall open where they will. Read on from the first sentence that arrests the eye. Then turn to another. Make a voyage of discovery., taking soundings of uncharted seas. Set them back on their shelves with your own hands. Arrante them on your own plan, so that if you do not know what is in them, you at least know where they are. If they cannot be your friends, let them at any rate be your acquaintances. If they cannot enter the circle of your life, do not deny them at least a nod of recognition."
