Well, we're off to the Yosemite Valley for the Yosemite Writers' Conference. It should be a real trip!
I'll give you the rundown when I return, but I know it will be amazing, even though I haven't seen it for nearly 50 years.
Downloaded a useful item from the site: "What To Do If You See A Bear." Hope we don't need that one.
Great news! Accidental Cowgirl will be sold at the conference, and will also appear on the August 27th cover of Publisher's Weekly, along with 14 others. I am greatly honored.
Stay tuned. Newsletter soon.

Go Northwest, Young Woman!
Hello All,
I'm just back from Portland, OR, where I had the best Sunday Brunch experience I've ever had.
The restaurant in question is the Screendoor. I had the Blueberry and Cornmeal Pancakes, with Maple Syrup and Homemade Chicken/Apple Sausage,and my companions had Crab Benedict with Home Fries, and Mushroom Hash with crispy Pommes Frites (French fries), and a side of Screedoor Praline Bacon (maple/pecan glazed bacon), from which I could have made an entire meal!
Topped that off with Ramos Fizz, Apple Cider, and a couple of Prosecco Mimosas. That, plus tasty bottomless cups of Stumptown Coffee, and we were set for the day!
One word: Yum!
I also had a wonderful time with a local book club whose members had read my latest book, and it was so good to meet enthusiastic readers. Portland is full of them, by the way.
Before that, I attended the Hollywood Book Festival in Hollywood, CA. Great weather, but the festival itself was underwhelming. Maybe next year.
Great trip, but good to be home.
