Writing the first 50 pages of two different books. Once I like the first 50 pages, I’ll choose one to do first.  This wasn’t my original plan but it seems to be working.

The University Faculty Women’s Club of the University of Arizona in Tucson invited me to speak at their monthly luncheon May 4th.  It was a lot of fun meeting such interesting women and hearing their stories….I spoke on my book An Uncommon Heroine. You can bet they had a lot of great fiction characters to talk about too, some from my book, some not! Great time. Thanks, Women’s Club, for having me.
