Bremond was a Success!

On February 5, I narrated a script for a silent play. The play was inspired by a scene from my book, Once Jilted and was only part of the goings on at the Bremond Library Fundraiser. It was a blast.

Besides the silent play, the Cowboy Church provided cowboy stew cooked outside along with biscuits and cobbler baked in a dutch oven. Kids were treated to a few old time type games while parents bid on silent auction items.

I invited Linda LaRoque to join me. After the play, they allowed us to talk about our books, t

hen afterwards we were allowed to sell and autograph our books. Way too much fun!

To the left are some of the actors in action. And to the right, I'm watching as Linda gives her speech.

The reason I was asked to participate in this event was because Bremond was once a stop for the orphan train and there are still several descendants of the orphan train riders living in Bremond. I really enjoyed giving the program and letting everyone know a little more about the orphan train riders.

Gearing up

It seems like forever since I posted. Most folks would take time to go over new year's resolutions, etc. Well, mine in a nutshell is to survive in the fast lane. Lots of things are going my way already so I just want it to all go smoothly.

Right now, I'm gearing up for a huge event with the Bremond Library. They'll be featuring my book, Once Jilted. It's their annual fundraiser and they are focusing most of the activities around this book. Wow. I'm honored. It's been forever since I acted on stage and I'm so nervous. I'll be narrating a play that's based on a scene from this book.

Right now, I'm sewing a dress so I can look the part. I used to sew all the time but it's been 15 years since I've made a suit and the pattern I chose is basically a suit jacket and skirt. I'll be sure to post pics once it's done. With my schedule, I'm sewing one seam a day. Too fun.
