Silly Rabbit!
So, I'm not really late for a very important date (although I could have some fun with the idea of rabbits and being late!), I'm just late on publishing my mid-monthly newsletter! How many excuses would you like? None? Not a one?
Okay, then! I'll leave you to your pre-holiday prep with this--my very favorite photo ever--and a special request that when you consider end-of-year charitable donations, you remember the Tabor Opera House Preservation Foundation! Our 2018 Calendar Girls of Leadville project helped to launch a series of successful grants for restoring this magnificent and historic structure, and there's much more to do.
(By the way, the tub in this photo is for sale along with our Leadville home where it awaits its new owners. You, perhaps? Note: famous authors not included)
(thanks to Elise Sunday for this "Ms. November" photo of me and Carol Bellhouse, and for all of the photos in this project!
Upcoming (and maybe some past) Events!
- November 1-30: All Day Every Day . . . NaNoWriMo! November is National Novel Writing Month! Just one week remaining, and although I've not written nearly the amount I'd hoped, I've made some important decisions on my next series. I'll give myself credit wherever I can! Hope some of you have had fun participating in this personal challenge!
- December 7-8 and 14-15: Bighorn Book Nook at the Georgetown Christmas Market! I'll be there all four days along with many other local authors and vendors! Come on out and get into the holiday spirit! Personally autographed books make GREAT gifts for everyone on Santa's "Good" list!
