For a writer, life can be a case of extremes. Today I'm working on a new novel, one I've been working on since last spring. It still feels very fresh and I know there's much work ahead before it's redeemed worthy for your bookshelf. Most of these days, my companions are paper, pen, and laptop. The only people I see daily (besides my husband and daughter) are the baristas at my local coffee shop. (Did you ever wonder why writers hang out at the coffee shops?)

In April my forthcoming book, Dear Hank Williams, launches and I go on the first of two tours. The first will be a national tour and the other one (in May) will be in Louisiana. My quiet days will be on hold as I keep a busy pace and meet lots and lots of people. I'm looking forward to every minute. Will I be in your neck of the woods? To find out click here.
