Break out the minks and minis and join me there. There WILL be press, TV, everyone who is anyone, so join us if you are in the Jax area. Call (904)215-0150 for more details and directions.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7TH - 10 - NOON - MANDARIN LIBRARY --
Ok I will be dragging in wearing my sunglasses for the Florida Writer's Association Meeting at ze library - but we have a fantabulous guest speaker for this month -
Ms. Christine Lindblom - Owner/Pres of "To The Letter" Editing. She is going to come speak to us about plagerism (what? me? NEVAH!), and writing in dialects. She's coming all the way from Georgia, so you all come on and show up! If I can drag in so can you!!

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8TH - 01:00 PM
Come to Tara for ze Barnes & Nobles Writing/Poetry Groups Christmas luncheon. Win prizes! Mingle with the elite ones! It's at my house - call me if you need details, oh and do bring a covered dish. The maids/cook are off that day I can't do it all! HA! This is our only meeting in December and it will be all three groups combined.
Call me - (904)-268-5952.

Believe it or not kiddies after this weekend, there are only parties on the weekends for me to attend, presents to buy/wrap and hopefully some SLEEP coming somewhere in the not so distant future. I have a few other little goodies coming up like speaking at Jeb Stuart Middle School on 12/17/02 with my handsome fellow author, Forrest Taylor, but other than that I believe I may seen a few blank spots on my calendar! But watch out for January it is already booked.

Keep your fingers crossed also for moi and my screenwriter cohort, Lin Meadows as we shop "Fly" out for screendom history in 2003. He feels very confident it will get bought by Lifetime or WE, but I'm holding out for HBO or Steven Spielberg! HA!

Have a great holiday season my pets! Party onward! Break out that tinsel and glitter and have the best one ever! I love you, love you, love you all and please continue to keep in touch when you can!

Yule be hearin from me in 2003!!

Love ya,
