But lately I've been amiss and haven't posted very much. The reason for that is my dream of being a published writer came true. Since October of 2011 I've had two - can you believe two- books published. The first in the Trixie Montgomery Cozy Mystery Series is "Death in Dahlonega" and my second one that was released in October 2012 is "Murder in Marietta." What I've learned is that marketing is such a big part of writing. I've been going to book clubs, writer's groups, book signings, etc and trying to write in-between. This takes a lot of time and takes away from my blogging. I just wanted to let you know. I hope to have more giveaways soon. Also you can visit me at www.cozymysterymagazine.com and www.sleuthsandsuspects.com Thank you again for your support.
