A Beautiful Mother's Day for Mama and I

Hello All,
My mother and I had a wonderful Mother's Day. We got cards, gifts and flowers. My brother, Robert and his wife, Lillie gave Mama a beautiful bouquet of white roses, they gave me a gift package of body logion and shower gel. Beautiful. My brother, Jerry and his wife, Doritha gave me a beautiful card. The card company did an appropriately beautiful job on the imprinted portion of the card, but when my brother wrote, 'thank you for being the mother to our sisters, brothers and our parents,' I completely lost it. Tears flowed. I would trade my family for all the tea in China. Meaning, I wouldn't take anything for them.

To those of you who have read my books, From My Front Porch and sequel, Sinners Never Sleep, I want to thank you so much for your support, and I hope you have enjoyed them.

One of my upcoming books is LOOKING FOR MR. TONIGHT. I would appreciate your continued support so please be on the look out for my upcoming books.

My book signing at Books A Million in Charleston this past Saturday went very well. It amazes me the generousity of people. As I was doing a book signing, one customer, a lady who owns a boutique, was buying two sets of my novels, Front Porch and Sinners. I mentioned that I had done a book signing at a boutique in Florence a few times and how well it went. She thought it was a good idea, then she purchased an additional 10 copies of each book which brought her total purchase to 24 books. I thanked her perfusely and I went out to my car and brought her several free copies of a book of short romantic stories, Champagne Dreams & Chocolate Kisses, that I wrote under my birth name, Minnie Dix and gave to her.

I got to get back to writing. Take care my friends and be blessed.

Book Signing, Waldenbooks in Charleston on Friday and Sumter Mall on Saturday

I hadn't done a book signing in Waldenbooks in Charleston on corner of Meeting and Market Streets since last year but it was great being in that store again. I was saddened that one of my favorite managers in the Charleston stores has left. The signing went okay..It has gone better but it was such a beautiful day and there was some sort of air show going on so there wasn't much of a crowd.

My signing in Sumter went pretty good. Although, I have done a lot better here as well. The manager told me that they still sell a high number of my books so I am just greatful for everything and everyone who come out in support of me. I am still working on a number of other projects and will notify when something new is coming out. Please go out and buy or order my books online. The books are From My Front Porch and sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. Thanks so much.

Blessings to you all until next time. Love to you all!

A Beautiful Sunday Afternoon to Run Errands Or Just Relax

Hello out there,

Well, it's Sunday again and my time to spend several hours away from home to either go shopping, a drive, visit Swan Lake or whatever I want to do. Two of my brothers, Jerry and Robert, came in and took care of Mama after church today while I took some Minnie/Leigh time. When I returned home, Mama was asleep and only one brother was here. Those boys are manning up. They don't like to be here with Mama alone--simply put, one can't handle her alone.

Still relishing in the fact that my book signings over the weekend went very well. I did BookAMillion in Florence Friday afternoon and BooksAMillion in Northwoods Mall in Charleston on Saturday. I signed my books, From My Front Porch and the sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. Thanks to each and everyone of you who came out and supported me. I take nothing for granted and I love you all dearly. Until next time, Blessings to you all.

Book signings at Books A Million in Florence and Charleston

Here I go again; Often times, due to family situations, I do book signings at the spur of the moment. The stores are so gracious to me, they always keep plenty of my books on hand so that if I want to do a signing of my two books, From My Front Porch and sequel Sinners Never Sleep, I can call only days in advance and they will have me come in and do a signing. I can't thank the few stores that I do go to, enough. They even encourage customers to purchase my books when I am not there. It doesn't get any better than that.

I did a repeat signing at BAM in Florence again this Friday night and it went well. I alwo did a signing in Charleston at BAM in the Northwoods Mall. Charleston always goes well. Many thanks to all the wonderful people who support me. I simply couldn't do it without so much support. Thank God and thank you too.

For those of you who are not familiar with my books, please go out or go online and purchase From My Front Porch and Sinners Never SLeep. I would appreciate it very much.

Mama and I are going to bed now. Have a good night you all and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Book Signings in Florence, SC at Books A Million and Barnes & Noble

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to drop a note to say I did two book signings this past weekend(both in Florence, SC. The books are From My Front Porch and the sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. I was at Books A Million on Friday and though I didn't sell as many books as I normally do at that store, I sold several dozens at Barnes & Noble on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised that I got to meet several of my Facebook friends and their families and one of the reviewers for Rawsistaz. They were all very nice and we had wonderful talks and some of them bought books which I appreciated very much.

I took my Mama with me both days over the weekend and though I believe she got a little tired on Saturday, I could tell she was enjoying riding around in the wheel chair enjoying seeing all the people while her sitter shopped. I just want to say how accommodating the stores are with me. They don't have a problem with how long I stay. If I want to leave for a minute just to check on Mama, they don't have a problem with that. And, the nice thing is that they allows me to come whenever I want to.

I just want to thank everyone who supports me, come out and ask questions about publishing or just to talk. I enjoy it all and feel priviledge that God has put so many wonderful people in my life. Thanks to you all and I love you.

Book Signing in Fayetteville, NC at Books A Million

Hello everyone,
I want to thank each and every one of you for coming out to join me at my book signing yesterday at Books A Million in Fayetteville, NC. I signed my novels, From My Front Porch and the sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. It went amazingly well and I can't thank you enough. There were many highlites. Not only did I have customers buying 2 books, but some bought 6 and even 8 which I was extremely grateful, but one person who supported me her husband's older brother is married to one of my first cousins and to top that, my brother and his wife were at a family reunion meeting with that first cousin and her husband of the person who bought books from me. How weird was that. Small world even. Later everyone until next time. Blessings to you always. Mama and I are going to play around with some checkers. Again, many thanks to every one.
