Babysteppin’ Toward a Dream
I’ve known what I wanted to be since I was in fourth grade. And never, in all that time since, have I even considered changing my mind… 
Here is a look at the start of my dream. It was born on a rainy day while playing at a friend’s house. She brought white paper to the kitchen table and said, “let’s make books.” I was hooked. (If you click on the picture, you can see it a little better)
Then, in eighth grade, my teacher asked us to draw a picture of ourself doing whatever it is we wanted to do for a living. Other than the fact I’m doing it longhand, I’m betting I’m one of the only ones actually doing it…
Which brings me to this past week–a week I have to liken to being a whole lot like Christmas for a little girl with a dream… 
First, there was a sneak look at the third installment in the Southern Sewing Circle Mystery Series (set to debut in October). I absolutely ADORE this cover…
Second, came a sneak look at my second-ever romance novel (click on the cover for a better look)…
The photographer couldn’t have done a better job with this cover! It’s exactly how I pictured the main characters. This book, A Mom For Callie, will go on sale July 12th!
And last, but certainly not least, came the Fed Ex man with two hot-off-the-press copies
of my latest (# 2) Southern Sewing Circle Mystery, DEATH THREADS (which will hit bookstores nationwide on May 4th)!!!!
I am SO excited for this book to come out! It’s fun, fun, fun!
The morale of the story? If you want it bad enough, you can make it happen!

I have to say, I’m glad that I have a touch of “pack rat” in me when it comes to pictures/drawings and stuff. My Hope Chest is FILLED with the same kind of stuff from my own daughters. You never know when they’ll pull out an old picture and have it spark a blog!

I am so happy for your successes. Dreams are what things are made of. You know how much I have been working for my education. No one gets anywhere without working hard for it. You have to have fun along the way also. I have invited the GIRLS for a night out for your book signing. You know I will be there. All the upcoming books look great and I can’t wait to read them. Your fav.fan. Happy writing.
