Hey, what a great time Teresa and I had doing a reading and book signing for I’ll Call It Like I See It: A Lesbian Speaks Out on Sunday, December 2nd! Had a wonderful group of GLBT folks who laughed at the appropriate moments so always a good sign…wish all of our cyberspace friends from around the country and world could’ve been with us!
The Center has a Potluck luncheon the first Sunday of every month
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon so we ate and talked outside
No need to bring flowers – beautiful ones already there
Book signing table with book posters for all three books
Thanks to Harriet Hancock and her daughter Jennifer Tague and Lester Frantzen for inviting us and making us feel so welcome and thanks to all who purchased books!
I’d love to come to your home for a house party or your book club or other venues for speaking and book signings…please send me an email at smortex@aol.com.

It’s good to see a sense of community. No matter what groups people are from, the community spirit is dying out 😦

I’m glad things went well for you, Sheila. However, knowing you as I do, you would make them go well !!!! When are you going to do some in Montgomery???

Hi Anne,
Thanks so much for the kind words! It was a good time, and Teresa introduced me so that was fun, too!! Her work schedule is demanding so we don’t get to do as many things together as we used to!!
Probably won’t have a Texas reading until after the first of the year – I imagine you’ll be in Hawaii by then? Hope your visit is a good one!
Love,
Sheila

Yes, some of this will be too fresh, I’m sure, but you know we walk together. The people will help one another. I love the Shades of Green, too – probably one of the better writing ones. So glad you like the book! Thanks for reading and all you’ve done to encourage me through the last seven years, my friend.
