Go figure??

Well, yesterday I sent out press releases to my hometown paper - The Orange County Register in California, as well as one to my local paper - The Capital Times in Madison, WI. Guess which one responded first...

Yuppers, California. Now, this struck me odd, but a friend of mine said it's the "briefcase syndrome." This theory is that the people you live around could give a fig about you. But you get nothing but great press from your hometown. Huh? Kinda bass ackward is you ask me, but what do I know? :-)

Expanding on this newfound knowledge, I intend to send out press releases to Ft. Collins, CO. where I went to college, and St. James, MN. where my grandfather's kin have all been since coming over from Norway before WWII. If this theory is true, I should hear back from both of them before Madison. Will keep you posted!!

Until Next Time...

Yep, spread the word wherever you've been. Then, when your current hometown sees the buzz, they might hop on the wagon, too!

Hey, congratulations, Meagan, for getting your story in Blue Moon Magic--I can't wait to read it! And Magic has gone to press so you'll be holding your book in your grubby little mitts SOON!

My scribe had the audacity to write a stupid mule and a chicken, of all things, so she left me high and dry. I am not happy.

TTFN,

Thank you Keely! I'm very excited to be in one of these wonderful and highly anticipated anthologies!

And don't worry about the mule and chicken...you're book will be out soon and you'll again be the star!
