Update on books

Things are slowing down for awhile, Time to get back to working on my latest book. Communinon of Saints, which I plan to premiere at Printers Row in Chicago next June.  Meanwhile, enjoyed Diana Ross concert.  She is still fabulous with 10 piece band, 3 backup signers and 5 costume changes.  Love all that glitter!

Chisholm Trail Book Festival in Duncan, OK

 A wonderful day spent meeting new authors, shoppers and the wonderful organizers and planners of the event.  A great way to sell books and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow writers.  This event was the most well planned and carefully orchestrated book show I have attended.  Courteous staff attended to every detail and the show was a big hit.  I plan to return next year.  It was nice to meet Marilyn Hudson creator of Oklahoma Authors Website and big thanks to Glenna Pace of the Book Festival!  And, of course, thank you to all of the shoppers who made the show a success!

Spiritual Quest for Truth

I am attending the Chisholm Trail Book Festival in Duncan, Oklahoma on September 17, 2011 where I will launch my latest publication, A Spiritual Trilogy.  I will be signing Trilogy and Trust Me, the Untold Story of Mary Magdalene.  I look forward to meeting lots of new people and sharing stories about my books.   
Thank heavens for the saints for I believe they are around to help when we ask them.

I found St. Therese in her book, Story of a Soul. She had always been with me and I hadn’t known until I recognized her in the pages of her book. It was while reading this book that I came across her dying days that told how the pen she used to write with became too heavy.  She finished her last words writing with a pencil! Oh, yes, I recognized her then!

I am very familiar with that pencil St. Therese wields.  She was the one who wrote on my tablet so many years ago:   LOUSY WORLD BETTER LOVE NOW.

In my continuous search for spiritual knowledge I discovered the Christian mystics. I knew I had struck gold when I discovered St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross and St. Therese of Lisieux. Mysticism was the terminology applied to the practice of these saints and I recognized it immediately.  I was not alone in my spiritual quest for truth.
