Wanderlust
Off to Albuquerque to sell books and meet new family members.
I'll get the newsletter out when I return, I promise!
If you're a Sonoma County resident, Accidental Cowgirl will be available next week at Copperfield's Books. Pick up a copy, and let me know what you think.
Thanks, ML

Back In The Saddle
Got back from Yosemite last Tuesday, but hard to get back to deadlines, writing my next book, etcetera.
I had two free days before the conference, so we saw some of the park, had lunch at the Ahwanee Lodge, and checked out the wildlife (not at the lodge). Saw lots of chipmunks, but no bears. Fine with me! Yosemite is very dry this year, and that's sad, whether you believe Al Gore or not.
Met lots of nice folks, sold lots of books, and learned a bit while renewing an old acquaintance in Bonnie Hearn Hill, a former writing teacher, who started the conference four years ago.
Speaking of nice folks, check out the Spirited Woman website link above. Nancy Mills has a great newsletter. Mine (Wine Country Words) will publish again, as soon as I get caught up—promise.
I'm starting to market in earnest—I plan a book launch party for Accidental Cowgirl this month, and will do a road trip in Oct., Nov., to meet with book clubs, speak at bookstores and to other interested parties. Please let me know if you'd like me to speak to your organization.
Ciao,

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.

Accidental Cowgirl Coming Soon!
Accidental Cowgirl: Six Cows, No Horse and No Clue, is finally at the printer's and poised to be released August 1. It's been a long ride (especially without a horse), but it's finally in the works!
I'm starting my road trip early, to Los Angeles, where I will attend the Hollywood Book Festival, and go thence to Portland, to meet with a book group. The August calendar of my scheduled appearances is on the website, on the media page. If you live in either of these cities, let me know if you'd like me to attend your book group meeting while I'm there.
