If you are ready for some easy (well, relatively easy) web development software (which YOU control yourself, even though you are a programming virgin), then check out Joomla! I'm getting some help from an aficionado in Scotland, no less, and I'm starting to understand it, a little.
You can do an awful lot with it, and you are your own webmaster. Gotta love that.
Still speaking to fraternal organizations, etc., and selling books! (Distributor still doesn't have them in the warehouse, but I have some, and I'm selling those.) What an education in marketing I'm getting with Accidental Cowgirl. And what fun!
Rain on Sunday, they say. Fall is here. Get your pumpkins ready. Our dog always helps!

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.

Women's Voices
If you want a woman to speak at your next event or seminar, Women for Hire is a great place to start.
This is a new service that has received much press of late.
As one who is just beginning to speak about my books and about the process of writing the memoir or autobiography, I think this is a great service, both for the women and for the people who hire them to speak.
If you are a trained speaker with a message, check it out right now, as they have a special price for a short time only.
If you want someone to speak about writing the autobiography or memoir, that would be me. I'll be in L.A. from the 27th-31st, and in Portland from the 1st-7th. Send me an e-mail if you need a speaker at those times and in those places. Meanwhile, the newsletter will be out before I leave northern California next week.
Best,
ML

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.
