November 3: Marketing is paying off! "Gringa in a Strange Land" chosen as the Book of the Month by In the Rooms, a great (big) online recovery site!


It's November, we're already had the great snowstorm - enough! I am now deeply in the process of marketing. I can't find too much to say about this except it has to be done and done reasonably well. Sigh.

October 27 - Radio interview with NPR affiliate Interlachen on Mary Lou Williams and my bio, Morning Glory A refreshing slant to this interview is to address the potential young audience for jazz. And Mary Lou made that her mission as well later in life, so this should be a good one! I'll post the link to the podcast when I have it.


October 21 2011: All-day conference by BlogHer/​Penguin.
This should good for me, what with my start on a portable Olivetti which went to l0 countries and many U.S. states with me pre-computer. I need to wrap my mind around all of the new arcane ways of reaching an audience.
So blog-on, vlog on, maybe even tweet.

I'll be doing an interview about Gringa in a Strange Land, touching on my experiences living in the Yucatan for: www.book-club-queen.com. This will be made available January 2012.


I'm ready to shop my new novel! Cleans Up Nicely, a sequel to Gringa in a Strange Land, continues the story of Erica Mason, who's moved from Mexico to Manhattan in the mid-70's - another strange land. Just as Mexico was a main player, so now is New York City in the life of this aspiring artist and substance abuser. A new cast of colorful characters, a new set of challenges, including getting sober from the inside, still with tongue firmly in cheek.
