Relax and Re-charge Your Creativity, This Week's Events Including Hobby Hoedown with Erin Albert

Last week it was our privilege to take our five grandkids camping at the White River Campground near Montague, MI. The picture above was taken at Brown's Pond near the campground. Those are three of my fishermen. (Please note there were not many fish in this pond. One boy caught three small speckled trout and that was it!)

Pool time..thank goodness it was heated. But that really doesn't make a difference to kids, does it? The pool temps hovered between 79 and 81 degrees F. 

Time away from the keyboard and the Internet certainly recharges the creativity and energizes the soul. Even if you can't take a trip, take some time to get away from the "everyday" and plan something different from your usual day. You'll be amazed at how uplifting it can be.

This week is full of new people and places.

MONDAY-- I'l be a guest at author Tara Chevrestt's blog, Book Babe. She writes strong heroines in her stories and so do I, so I introduce her reader to Pastor Christine in my mystery, Coda to Murder.

WEDNESDAY--Sally Franklin Christie grills me on her blog, Life is a Story--Tell It Big.

My FIRST live author event will be on Wednesday evening, 6:30 pm at the Newaygo Area District Library, Newaygo, Michigan. I'm appearing with three other authors and we are talking about the Road to Publishing. Join us if you are in the area. Refreshments too.

THURSDAY--

Author Erin Albert will be visiting the J Q Rose blog on Thursday. Her passion is running. Be sure to check back to discover how she got into her hobby.
