Smugglers of Sandhill Island debuted last night and sold out.  More books are coming. We had a great time with books, a reading, food, and a little wine. It was a celebration. There was an art and music festival downtown and it had been flooding earlier in the day, but the book lovers still showed up.  You can’t keep a good reader down.

My writing club came and supported me. There is a tremendous amount of talent in our town, and they are great about backing each other.  I saw people from town, people I went to high school with, and family. It was a great event.

Chloe Fuksa, from Putnam Six bookstore in town, helped me with payments. She is a big supporter of the writing and reading community and always helps us. Go see her and grab a book!

And St. Matthews Episcopal Church hosted the event. It helps when the priest is a club member and fellow novelist. Fr. John Toles is a great asset and friend.

But celebrating aside, Smugglers of Sandhill Island is off to a great start. You can find a copy at Putnam Six in Enid or online at https://books2read.com/u/mdeZ85 electronically, or at Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Maybe even your local library. If they don’t have a copy, have them get one! And as always, please leave a review.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the party, my club who critiqued the book, and my family who supports my writing addiction.

What are you reading, writing, or creating this week?
