Never, Ever, Give up!

I am finally back from two different trips I took.

The first trip was to the Oregon Christian Writer’s Conference in Turner, Oregon. It was a great time of meeting with agents, and publishers, plus an  outstanding list of workshops and coaching classes.

I then went to Central Oregon, and spent four days with my son and daughter-in- law. It was a great time of relaxing and catching up. We went fishing to three different lakes in the area. I never even got a bite all three days, but the time with my family was wonderful.

___________________________________________________________

I want to remind you that I will be at the Oregon State Fair starting this Thursday the 25th, through Labor Day September 5th, signing my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”  Drop by and say hello if you happen to come to the fair. I would love to see you.

In the stores the book sells for $19.99, but on this site, it is only $15.99, and it will be autographed. Hope you will take a minute to have a look.
