Well, obviously I didn't go to England as planned, or I'd be there right this minute. Damn! Next year - 2014.
But I did do California per my last post ... class reunion, two book signings, Dearmore cousin reunion too ... saw my daughter and my sisters ... even brought my youngest sister and her hubby home with me for a visit. Now that was soooooooo much fun.
Next is Las Vegas ... a month from now. On August 7 I'll be driving to Las Vegas for a 5-day writers convention - 2013 Romance Novel Convention. It looks like it's really going to be a hoot. A real good one. So I'm looking forward to it very much. Besides I love Vegas. A chance to hear all the lounge music that I love so much and haven't heard in ages. I'll be in hog heaven.
More on that later ...

CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME ...
"California here I come, right back where I started from . . . "
Yep, this month I'm going to California to visit for a few days. First to the Palm Springs area to visit my daughter, then to Bakersfield to visit my sister Martha and for a 55-year class reunion on April 27, then to Russo's Bookstore for a book signing of my books (eight of them) the next day, April 28, then up to Visalia, possibly a booksigning there (more on that later) ... but in Visalia mostly to visit my sister Mary. Then back home again.
So it'll be a quick trip, but I'll be taking pics and notes, will post them here for you to experience and get a glimpse of those parts of California where I was raised.
We moved to the San Joaquin Valley when I was ten, in the '50s, from where my sisters and I were born in Oxnard. So at ages 10, 8, and 1 ... we all three began a life in the small farm town of Wasco, a few miles northwest of Bakersfield, southwest of Visalia. Both my sisters are back in the valley now, after a few years living in Morro Bay on the Central Coast.
So more on the trip at the end of the month ...
