With summer hard upon us, I'm taking a little while off my busy schedule of book signings to catch up on writing and conversations with friends like you.

The first weekend in June I'll speak Friday evening at 7 at the Arkansas Writers Conference in Little Rock. I'll talk on finding your voice. That's a good one to attend if you're looking for a writer's conference. Check it out.

Back to town and back to work the following Friday, June 12, I'll be at Nightbird Books in Fayetteville, from 4 to 5:30 with fingers crossed, both books. I look forward to seeing lots of you who haven't made it to one of the many library, museum and historical societies where I've presented tales of the Boston Mountains.

Saturday, June 13 I'll be at Trolley Line Books in Rogers at 2 p.m. with Radine Trees Nehring where we'll chat about writing and having a life too. We'll both have copies of our latest books. Maybe you can make it to this one.

I'm busy writing on a couple of new projects of fiction as well as lining up the next nonfiction which will be published by Old American Publishing in Houston, TX.

I apologize if you've received this notice from my Facebook or other sources. I may have you on more than one list. Let me know if you want off of any of them.

Have a great summer and I look forward to seeing you all somewhere soon.
