Arrived in Florida!





Ah, sunny, warm Florida...so glad to be back! The nights in Virginia were dipping in the 40's, so it feels good to see the palm trees and 80 degree temps again.


I'll be spending the winter in Tampa area but will be traveling to the central east coast to visit family as often as we can. (Many thanks to everyone praying for our son)


I've been invited back to the Merritt Island Public Library for a writing workshop and signing on Wed. Nov. 19th from 1 - 3 pm. I'll be opening with the A, B, D's - The Craft of Writing and The Publishing Industry Today, but if the audience wants to expand more on character development, I'd be glad to focus on that topic. I'm looking forward to see friends I met the last time I was there!


Woogie's book is now available! (Covers above) And he has his own Blog, too! View at: http://woogiestravels.blogspot.com/

It makes a great gift for little ones and beginner readers. It's 53 pages and $12.95 with free shipping. It comes with his own special signature! To order, e-mail me at sharonminer@yahoo.com.
