I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL FAMOUS.

     I have a funny feeling creeping over me...sort of like "Goose Bumps"...but better.

     In the process of marketing my book,  "MARCEL'S GIFT"I have been invited to be interviewed on our local TV channel WSET, have been accepted to speak at the local chapter of Pen Women and my work is being reviewed by a local service organization for a possible speaking engagement.

      I had better start making cue-cards.

WHERE'S THE JUSTICE?

  Let's just keep putting hand guns into the hands of nit-wits and crazies and we'll have more tragedies like the assassination of young Trayvon Martin.

Let's just keep doing nothing about the Nat'l. Rifle Assoc. (NRA) lobbying our politicians and donating big, big bucks to their re-election  campaigns (Republican and Democrats, alike) and we'll never see an end to violence.

Some people just  can't repress the power surge that comes with killing another human and they should not be gifted with the means to do so.

Where's the justice?  Where's the justice for Trayvon, for his family, for the outraged.

And we call ourselves civilized?

A CONFERENCE TO REMEMBER

     The WRITE STUFF writers' conference in Allentown, Pa, this weekend was all I expected it to be. This was the second time I attended their conference. The confernce committee did a wonderful job again this year. The keynote speaker was James Scott Bell--he was spellbinding.
    
     The conference sessions were varied and I surely learned a lot. I felt like I had gotten an infusion of adrenalin and now I'm all juiced up to not only write but write better.
